11th	1	—	Gatehouse Boy (G) P Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick in May 2025. Struggled next 2 starts but showed he retains ability back from absence when fifth of 14 at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 18…	0/10P-50	Ross Sugrue P J Rothwell	6	75.3kg	29 28/1
3rd	2	—	King Of The Greys (G) Pulled up all 3 starts in handicaps. Can't make a case for.	08-8PPP	Sam Ewing Peter Fahey	5	75.3kg	7.50 13/2
—	3	—	Bearami Creek (M) Won 19f handicap hurdle at Navan last autumn but was out of sorts when last seen in the spring.	1450P-0	Ethan O'Sullivan Peter Fahey	6	73.9kg	26 25/1 Betfa… 26 Paddy… 26 Sky B… 26
9th	4	—	No Big Deal (G) T Creditable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2½m, good to soft, 9/2) 11 days ago. Merits consideration.	098-849	Mark Walsh C O'Brien	6	73.9kg	6 5/1
1st	5	—	Tuckmill (G) P Produced his most encouraging effort for some time when third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (19f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Needs to show he can back that up now.	P70-P73	Mr R M McParland Peter Fahey	10	73.5kg	13 12/1
—	6	—	You Done Well (G) Pulled Up PT Proving expensive to follow this season and he needs to shrug off below-par efforts last twice. Jack Kennedy rides.	433P6P	Jack Kennedy M J Browne	5	73.5kg	17 16/1
5th	7	—	G N Jefferson (G) T Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, good third of 16 on handicap debut at Clonmel (2½m, good) 12 days ago, ending up with more to do than ideal. Respected.	096735	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	5	72.1kg	15 14/1
—	8	—	Datzdjazz (F) Pulled Up Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (2¼m, good to soft). Off 9 months ahead of handicap debut. The betting should help guide to expectations.	809-P	Daniel King D Hogan	4	71.7kg	67 66/1
13th	9	—	Las Brisas Boy (G) PT Runner-up in back-to-back handicaps at Sligo/Wexford in the summer. Well-held sixth on chase debut last month but looked back on form returned to hurdles when sixth at Fairyhouse latest (went for hom…	592266	Mr F R Buckley E Buckley	5	70.3kg	7.50 13/2
6th	10	—	Soldier Saint (G) FAV 7/2, first run since leaving Mark McCrory when creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, good to soft) 4 days ago. His stable won this race last year.	548646	Danny Gilligan P W Flynn	6	70.3kg	4.50 7/2
8th	11	—	Hidalgo Des Mottes (G) BT Long-standing maiden. Again found only one too good at Punchestown in June but 2 lesser runs have followed, albeit he may have needed it after 3 months off at Gowran 11 days ago.	25-8295	Ms N M Bradley E Griffin	9	69.9kg	26 25/1
—	12	—	Dunany Point (G) Pulled Up P Just one success from 21 starts. Returned to form when good second of 15 in handicap chase at Sligo last month but merely added to his patchy record when pulled up at Galway since.	P37C2P	Eoghan Finegan Conor Maxwell	7	69.4kg	13 12/1
—	13	—	Me Wee Nanny Fran (G) Slipped Up B No form, including pulled up when 100/1 on Listowel handicap debut 18 days ago. First-time blinkers need to spark major improvement.	00-00PS	Donagh Meyler G P Cromwell	4	68kg	67 66/1
2nd	14	—	Trixaboutmaisie (M) Lightly-raced maiden. Didn't improve for her reappearance (2m) when down the field on second handicap start at Wexford (3m), despite being much tighter in the betting than previously.	870-70	Kevin Healy C Bowe	5	67.6kg	19 18/1
10th	15	—	Leo Messy (G) T Low-mileage sort who has reached frame in handicaps at Cork (17f, good to soft) and Navan (19f, good to soft) in recent months. Likely to be in the shake-up again.	000-834	James Smith T Gibney	6	67.1kg	5 4/1
4th	16	—	How Decc (G) Remains a maiden after 20 starts and now back from another year off.	4430/P-4	Shane O'Callaghan J Fahey	8	65.8kg	67 66/1
12th	17	—	Mount Hotham (G) Fairly useful form on Flat in France for Andre Fabre back in 2022. Off 3 years and has failed to get near in 10 starts over hurdles.	0-90690	Josh Williamson J J Hanlon	7	63.5kg	41 40/1
7th	18	—	The Border Boy (G) P Cork handicap hurdle winner last summer but hasn't seriously threatened to add to his tally this time round, finishing eighth of 16 at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 9 days ago.	8-04P58	Phillip Enright S Aherne	9	63.5kg	26 25/1
