Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Bally Free (G) Promising sort. Fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (6/1) at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Trainer going well. Open to improvement.	1-41	Jack Kennedy	G Elliott	5	71.7 kg	4.33 10/3
6th	2	—	Banter At The Bar (G) [P] Twice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) 20 days ago. More is required.	1/7-761P	Mark Walsh	M F Morris	5	71.7 kg	41 40/1
—	3	—	Cornaroya Rocco (G) Once-raced maiden. Eighteenth of 19 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good, 125/1) on NH debut 138 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip.	0P65/4	Adam Leahy	J J Hanlon	4	71.7 kg	301 300/1
9th	4	—	Daws Cross (G) Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle at Cork (24.4f, good). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Patrick T. Foley.	P/09	Harry Sexton	A Sexton	6	71.7 kg	301 300/1
8th	5	—	Drop A Threat (G) [HT1] 11/10 and hooded, raced freely when a well-held seventh of 9 in bumper at this course (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 11 months ago. Makes hurdles debut with tongue strap on for 1st time and this points winner remains with potential.	4474-0P	Danny Mullins	W P Mullins	6	71.7 kg	19 18/1
3rd	6	—	I Am Lorenzo (G) Showed fairly useful form when twice runner-up in maiden hurdles for Gavin Patrick Cromwell. A below-form second of 12 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.6f, soft) 37 days ago for his new yard but a player back up in trip here.	231339/	Sean Flanagan	P Nolan	6	71.7 kg	4.50 7/2
5th	7	—	Juke Hill (G) Remote second of 7 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (22.5f, good to soft, 18/1) on NH debut 43 days ago. Trainer going well but a lot more is needed here.	5/2557-8	Danny Gilligan	G Elliott	5	71.7 kg	17 16/1
2nd	8	—	Melbourne Shamrock (G) Promising sort. Fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Thurles (22.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 23 days ago. Should have more to offer. Considered.	P-42410	Donagh Meyler	E Mullins	6	71.7 kg	13 12/1
4th	9	—	Porthill (G) FAV Runner-up sole start in points (Apr 2022) and bought for £250,000. Encouraging third of 7 in bumper at Wexford (16.4f, soft, 11/4) on his NH debut 47 days ago. Makes hurdles debut significantly up in trip and must enter calculations.	2/3	Paul Townend	W P Mullins	7	71.7 kg	1.80 4/5
—	10	—	Elsa Bay (M) Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, good seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at this course (20.4f, heavy) 22 days ago. No forlorn hope.	P5R-5P7	Ryan Treacy	William P Murphy	7	68.5 kg	126 125/1
7th	11	—	Ersudaly (M) Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 25/1) on NH debut 18 days ago.	F1670F/	Eoin Staples	C Bowe	5	68.5 kg	151 150/1
