2m 2m1f 2m4f	2	Don Jefe Better effort at Cork; this is a drop in grade and doesn't need much more to be involved	4 G	Poor	Michael Kenneally(7)	Gerard Edmund O'Leary	166	-	16/1 Open: 10/1
2m4½f 2m6f 2m4f	3	Gallant George Improved run at Navan over 2m6f last time in testing ground; drops in grade and considered	5 G	Poor	Conor Stone-Walsh	Ian Patrick Donoghue	166	-	12/1 Open: 15/2

2m4f 2m3½f 2m4f	5	Jesse James Howard Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and needs to find lots to be competitive	6 G	Poor	Kieren Buckley	Ms Claire O'Connell	166	-	125/1 Open: 100/1
2m 2m 2m4f	6	Le Tatoue Madrik (FR) Novicey in his jumping in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle; this is weaker so not ruled out	4 G	Poor	Keith Donoghue	Gavin Cromwell	166	-	22/1 Open: 11/1

2m3f 2m3½f 2m5½f 2m4f 2m4f	8	Moorish Castle (IRE) Promise on third maiden hurdle start last time; mightn't be far away with more progress	5 G	Poor	Richard Condon(5)	P A Fahy	166	100	25/1 Open: 20/1
2m½f 2m½f 2m½f 2m4f	9	Poet's Gale Promise on bumper debut but well below that level since incl' a maiden hurdle; questions	4 G	Poor	Daniel King	A J Martin	166	-	50/1 Open: 66/1
2m 2m 2m4f	10	Silver Salute Tongue-tie and cheekpieces on; can be a player if building on his initial hurdles promise	6 G	Poor	Josh Williamson(5)	Ian Patrick Donoghue	166	-	14/1 Open: 17/2
