Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
4th	1	—	Franciscan Rock (G) [P] Useful hurdler who won this race 12 months ago. Stepped up on reappearance when third of 11 in novice chase (5/1) at Thurles (22f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on.	334952	Mr J M Halford	M F Morris	8	72.6 kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	2	—	French Dynamite (G) Proved as good as ever on just second start for current yard when winning 15-runner Munster National (Handicap) chase at Limerick (24f, heavy, 16/1) 44 days ago, driven out. Warrants serious respect back over hurdles.	5002-31	Patrick M O'Brien	E McNamara	10	69.9 kg	4.50 7/2
3rd	3	—	Shoot First (G) Useful hurdler who was struggling when fell heavily 2 out in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Possibilities if recapturing best form.	19F-5F3	Philip Byrnes	C Byrnes	9	69.9 kg	17 16/1
1st	4	—	Staffordshire Knot (G) FAV [B] Has been reluctant at the start but was on his best behaviour when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.2f, soft) 9 days ago, kept up to work. Stable in good form. Entitled to be bang there with a repeat.	31121P/	Carl Millar	G Elliott	7	69.9 kg	1.62 8/13
5th	5	—	Queenofthelodge (M) [T] Progressed further in a first-time tongue strap when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Faces a very stiff task on these terms, though.	P157-44	Phillip Enright	S Curling	5	66.7 kg	13 12/1
