AvondaleS W Flanagan - B Connell5-14	9/4	10/11
Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps on the Flat last year, came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown and a fine effort in a Listed novice at Galway since, both approx' 2m, should appreciate this longer trip and be involved.
CostacurtaD J O'Keeffe - H De Bromhead2-1	3/1	11/10
Improved nicely from his debut Fairyhouse second in January to run away with a C&D maiden hurdle in May, the runner-up hasn't done much for the form since but this horse could do no more than win easily, there should be more to come so is taken seriously.
Ebony KingC M Quirke - A Slattery11	3/1	21/20
The sole 4yo in the field, made most to win a Tipperary bumper on debut (beating subsequent winners), was impressive when beating older horses on hurdling debut at Galway since, still a light-framed individual but interesting shrewd yard is bringing him out again soon, respected.
Dysart DasherP Townend - W P Mullins45/31	7/2	11/10
Returned from a huge lay-off this summer, beaten 11l in a Downpatrick maiden before improving to win a C&D maiden hurdle at this course, entitled to be still improving after only four runs and respected as his top yard's first string.
Full ConfessionB Hayes - W P Mullins/17-21	4/1	6/4
Fairyhouse bumper winner last winter was second in a 2m6f Downpatrick maiden hurdle on return before going one better at the same track over 2m2f, seems to be the yard's second string but would be no surprise if he ran a big race.
Catena ZapataK M Donoghue - Ian Donoghue6270/1	12/1	16/5
Three Flat wins came over a mile but stays well enough over hurdles, showed improved form on second start for this yard when winning a 2m2f Downpatrick novice, some of his rivals underperformed that day but can't be underestimated either.

Smiling BessD Meyler - R O'Sullivan8127-3	3/1	20/21
Won a maiden hurdle over slightly further at this track last year for the late Kevin Prendergast, solid third at Cork on return, should have improved from that and be involved off the same mark.
Pampar LadyK M Donoghue - G P Cromwell56-621	4/1	23/20
Was third to an improving type at Roscommon before getting off the mark in a Cork handicap (2m1f), up 6lb and in trip but looks as if she will stay so has to be on the shortlist.
Brave SoldierP T Enright - M M McNiff06-443	5/1	13/10
Maiden has been consistent in defeat on last three starts, beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better, one to consider.
Navy GuitarS W Flanagan - A Murray98-510	13/2	6/4
Got off the mark over hurdles when winning a Sligo handicap in June but was well beaten at Galway since, dropped 2lb but tends to jump left and others preferred.
MalbasK E Buckley - E Buckley01-410	8/1	2/1
Won his second hurdle race when taking a 2m handicap here two starts back but ran way below that level at Galway since, could go well if bouncing back.
HudsonD J O'Keeffe - Miss Ellmarie Holden5F-84	11/1	11/4
Maiden on the Flat in France, the best of four maiden hurdle runs for this yard when beaten 8l at Wexford last time, doesn't look particularly well-handicapped but is one to keep an eye on in the market.
Minority InterestC M Hogan (7) - P J Rothwell/072-0	12/1	13/5
Maiden went closest when second over C&D in 2024, beaten a long way on return at Killarney so has to improve plenty in first-time cheekpieces.
LiceoP J O'Hanlon - D A McLoughlin687	16/1	10/3
Three Flat wins in France, the best of three maiden hurdle runs for this yard was at Wexford last time, likely to do better in handicaps and is worth a market check.
Must Meet CecilE Staples (7) - C Collins822703	16/1	10/3
Won his fifth race over hurdles when scoring in a Tramore claimer in April, has run well in that class since but poor in two handicaps, blinkers added.
FlidaisD E Mullins - J P Ryan148-66	16/1	3/1
C&D winner won a beginners' chase in March but has been poor on her last two hurdle runs and has to return to best.

Quantum QuestJ J Slevin - H De Bromhead/5462-	4/6	1/4
Respectable efforts in maidens from 2m3f to 2m6f and gives the impression that he's a thorough stayer, so 3m1f here might well bring him on some more, this looks a golden opportunity.
Reiki RevolutionP T Enright - P J Rothwell5-4323	9/4	8/15
Galway bumper winner for former yard, beaten favourite in his last two maidens (the latest here) but ran well both times and looks a winner waiting to happen.
Mighty BerkshireJ P O'Sullivan - D Queally55	11/2	5/6
Shaped well at Wexford (2m5f) and Galway (2m6f), latterly behind the Ebor favourite Hipop De Loire, faces nothing of his calibre here and should have better days ahead of him.
Krishna BellevueD Meyler - R O'Sullivan98	40/1	10/1
No improvement for the blinkers last time at Roscommon and wouldn't be the obvious answer over a much longer trip.
Messi MagicR Deegan - D P MurphyFP/	40/1	10/1
Fell early in his first point and was pulled up in the second, long absence to overcome.
CuguillaConor Clarke (7) - J P Ryan6	50/1	14/1
Was 33-1 when beaten a long way in a 2m maiden here two weeks ago, raised in trip.

Hit The FrameA Harvey (5) - J P Flavin00-0P2	7/2	5/4
His best effort when second in first-time blinkers at Roscommon last time over this trip, up 3lb and the headgear is retained so should go close if it works again.
Movie KingMr B M Coonan (7) - A J Martin46/3-3	4/1	11/8
Flat and hurdle winner ran a cracker on return over 2m4f here, his fourth chase start, can improve from that and is a major player if staying this trip, though he is Flat-bred so there's a doubt.
ThehairyfellaJ W Kennedy - G Elliott3P3154	9/2	29/20
Won at Downpatrick over nearly 3m, was poor at Wexford next time then found 2m6f too sharp at Tramore, one to consider over this more suitable trip.
Dawn EscapeS W Flanagan - L Casey40-544	7/1	2/1
Maiden posted a decent effort when was beaten 8l over C&D last time, down 2lb and can be involved.
My Friend The WindG B Noonan (5) - E McNamara35P-75	8/1	11/5
Two hurdle wins but yet to win over fences, this trip should suit better than last time at Roscommon and he isn't dismissed.
Container MadnessJ J Slevin - M Brassil0447-7	8/1	11/5
Maiden but not beaten far over hurdles at times, notably when fourth at Down Royal last winter, not as good twice since and has to do better on chase debut.
Ballagh StarD J O'Keeffe - Mrs Y Dunleavy6-0479	10/1	11/4
Won over this trip at Sligo last year, has to return to that form to have a shout but is dropping in the handicap and this will suit better than last time at Tramore.
Early ArrivalD Meyler - J Barcoe38-36P	12/1	16/5
Yet to win over fences, not easy to fancy after being pulled-up at Tramore last week when jumped poorly.
Tuff DaysJ P Shinnick (3) - Michael BarryP-068F	16/1	15/4
Yet to win in 28 races under rules and others preferred.
Captain KateP Hanlon (7) - E SheehyU-2066	16/1	15/4
Runner-up once over hurdles from nine starts, not a bad chase debut last time and should improve, not ruled out.
Tennesse BoyP T Enright - R Tyner07-09P	20/1	5/1
Poor over hurdles last twice and has to improve hugely now chasing.
Long RoadS D Torrens - P J RothwellU2P-60	33/1	10/1
Has been poor since second in a Tramore hunter chase in April and has to get back to that level to have a shout.
Father JedD King - J P Ryan00000-	33/1	10/1
Teenager is a nine-time winner but was poor when last seen and others make more appeal.

Bal KautoMr M J Kenneally (7) - D Queally4-3711	6/4	2/5
His two wins over fences were two years ago but returns to this discipline after comfortable wins over hurdles here (3m1f) and at Galway (2m6f), now rated 8lb higher in that discipline so looks well handicapped here even without taking into account his rider's claim.
NouvoticD J O'Keeffe - H De Bromhead414-31	11/4	4/6
A 2m4f maiden hurdle winner who doubled his tally when off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Wexford (2m3f, good), probably on a competitive mark and he's unexposed over this sort of trip, one he should stay.
Ho My LordP T Smithers (7) - P Roche264-35	9/2	5/6
Ran in these colours for Willie Mullins, has flashes of smart form and hasn't been running badly this year, with a mid-race mistake no help at Wexford last time, has to be respected.
Dorans LawG B Noonan (5) - P J RothwellP-2614	8/1	5/4
Kept on well to win at Wexford (3m1f, good) when 5lb lower and it was over hurdles when a 17l fourth at Ballinrobe, in a race he won the previous season, might be vulnerable to more progressive rivals but unlikely to be far away.
Invictus MachinK M Donoghue - G P Cromwell862-F9	11/1	7/4
Was 11lb lower when a length winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and he ran okay in the always-competitive Blazers at Galway, bold defence looks on the cards.
Sea AsterJ W Kennedy - G Elliott-581U4	16/1	23/10
Won at Perth before unseating four out in the Wexford handicap chase won by Dorans Law, ran disappointingly back there last time.
Hascoeur ClermontS O'Callaghan (5) - C Coakley63-P96	18/1	11/5
Doesn't arrive here in much form and would prefer softer ground, pulled up in this last year.
Fairyhill RunD King - J P Ryan-4534F	20/1	3/1
Her last win came in this very race some four years ago when higher in the weights, has hinted that she might at some point exploit her reduced mark but took a heavy fall last time, 2lb wrong.

Sellerna BayMr D Doyle - M Fahey0/2-2	11/8	1/4
Poor on debut in a sales bumper last year but much better twice since, was runner-up to a subsequent Listed winner at Cork and returned from a long absence to be just denied at Wexford last time, with improvement from that she looks a major player today.
Red OakMr Alan O'Sullivan - Ciaran MurphyO/7-7	2/1	1/3
Ran out on point debut and was poor next time in that sphere, however, showed much more promise on bumper debut at Galway after a break, with improvement likely from that he looks a strong contender today.
Cailin DeasMr S Connor - James Andrew Fahey34-8U4	3/1	10/23
Has finished in the frame in five bumpers, her fourth at Galway last time was as good as any of her efforts and she is a major contender in this weaker race.
OnlyforfrankieMr E M Nugent (4) - B McMahon54	20/1	9/4
The best of two point efforts when fourth at Ballingarry in May, half-brother to a hurdle winner, will have to improve plenty for bumper debut.
Dunbell DivaMs K M Ryan (4) - J J HanlonFirst Race	22/1	13/5
Fourth foal, dam unraced sister to smart bumper/2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Champagne Classic, out of unraced half-sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Tupenny Cody, by a useful sire and wouldn't have to be above average to play a major part on debut.
Sonny KoufaxMr C O'Keeffe (4) - C O'Keeffe6UF-	33/1	9/2
Showed a glimpse of ability in three points, though only completing two, will have to find improvement on bumper debut.
Carrig PadraigMr D M Fitzgerald (2) - M P Fitzgerald0/806-	40/1	6/1
Soundly beaten in four bumpers and will have to find improvement even though this isn't a strong race.
Barrakilla VageMr L P Barnett (4) - Edward F Power/60-59	66/1	11/1
Showed little in points but a bit better on debut for this yard in a Downpatrick bumper, tailed off at Tramore since, not easy to fancy.
Groucho MaxMr B J Walsh - B J Walsh78	66/1	11/1
Well beaten in a point and a bumper so has to make huge improvement.
Keep It TogetherMr R N Hyland (4) - D BuckleyP00-P	100/1	20/1
Poor in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle so can't be fancied.
