—	4	—	Boycetown (G) T Off the mark in bumper at Down Royal on Boxing Day and improved on that, stepped up in grade, when making the frame at Cheltenham and Punchestown earlier this year. Holds strong claims on hurdles deb…	2/214-3	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	5	75.3kg	1.44 4/9
—	5	—	Cascando (G) Successful in points and fared best of those held up when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (2m, good to soft) on NH debut in April. Likely longer trips will see him in a better light, though.	2P14-	Phillip Enright R Tyner	5	75.3kg	101 100/1

—	8	—	King Idaho (G) Showed ability and probably would have benefited from more of a test when sixth of 15 in bumper (12/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) last December. Not seen since but is worth a second look in the market on h…	6-	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	5	75.3kg	11 10/1
—	9	—	Ludus Magnus (G) Didn't show a great deal in a trio of bumpers but shaped with more encouragement when fourth of 15 in conditional maiden at Sligo on hurdling debut in May. Unseated early on at Punchestown the follow…	6/40-4U	Niall Moore P Fenton	5	75.3kg	26 25/1
—	10	—	Midfield Magic (G) Exceeded market expectations when fourth of 25 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on debut in April but well below that level on first start for new yard at Gowran more recently.	4-9	Ben Harvey G P Cromwell	5	75.3kg	17 16/1
—	11	—	No Loose Ends (G) Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Dandy Dan (winner up to 3¼m) and useful bumper winner/fair 2m hurdle winner Bigbadandbeautiful. Off mark in points at second a…	P1-	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	5	75.3kg	17 16/1

—	13	—	Thinkitdontjinxit (G) Point winner who was runner-up in a pair of Thurles bumpers at the start of the year. Well beaten at the Punchestown Festival in the spring but type to come into his own now hurdling.	1228-	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	5	75.3kg	5.50 9/2
—	14	—	This Songisforyou (G) Fairly useful bumper winner/Useful winner on Flat who made an encouraging start over hurdles when fifth at Roscommon back in 2023. Subsequent 2 starts in this sphere were disappointing but he is in g…	12655/-7	Donagh Meyler E Mullins	8	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
—	15	—	Touch The Clouds (G) Made the frame in a couple of bumpers last season but ran poorly on his return at Roscommon last month and has a bit to prove now sent hurdling.	33-0	Daniel King R O'Sullivan	5	75.3kg	11 10/1
—	16	—	Young Mans Game (G) Finished down the field in a couple of maiden hurdles last winter. Off 9 months.	00-	Alan O'Sullivan M A Daly	5	75.3kg	101 100/1
—	17	—	Blues Street (G) Just hinted at ability in Kilbeggan maiden hurdle on debut in April and no show on return here earlier this month. Probably one for handicaps later on.	7-0	Kieren Buckley G P Cromwell	4	74.8kg	101 100/1
—	18	—	Menez Are (G) Last of 5 in sole completed start in points and finished nearer last than first on Rules debut at Listowel last month.	U5P-0	Mr O T Gilligan P J Gilligan	4	74.8kg	151 150/1
—	19	—	Paidi's Pet (G) No impact on bumper debut last month or tried hurdling at Fairyhouse 19 days ago.	80	Thomas O'Connor E McCarthy	4	74.8kg	251 250/1
—	20	—	Darby Hill (M) Easy winner of second start in points earlier this year but looked a longer term prospect in pair of novice hurdles last spring.	410-6	Sean O'Keeffe P Nolan	5	72.1kg	151 150/1
—	21	—	Fergy Five (G) Plenty of stamina in pedigree and looked one for longer term when sixth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney on NH debut in May. RESERVE.	6	Reserve 1 P J Gilligan	4	74.8kg	11 10/1
—	22	—	Shannonwatersflow (G) Yeats gelding. Dam bumper/2m hurdle winner, also 1m winner on Flat. Market should prove best guide to claims on debut. RESERVE.	—	Reserve 2 J Queally	4	74.8kg	34 33/1
—	23	—	Louis Winthorpe (G) €60,000 3-y-o, Crystal Ocean gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Shearer and bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Frankie John. Interesting newcomer. RESERVE.	—	Reserve 3 B Connell	5	75.3kg	34 33/1
