1	Active Duty Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Ben Pauling	J:Tom Cannon T:Ben Pauling	156	—	343	117	126	113	24d	—	—	—	21.3	—	—
12l fourth in Grade 2 here (2m1f, soft); flop when favourite at Market Rasen on latest
2	Almuhit Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Donagh Meyler T:Denis Gerard Hogan	156	—	6266	117	125	102	34d	—	—	—	19.3	—	—
Very reluctant to race latest; headgear off now; capable of better but very stiff task
3	Ascending Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	156	—	24	129	139	103	41d	—	—	—	23.3	—	—
Soundly beaten by three Mullins rivals last time even without bad blunder at the last
4	Blood Destiny Chestnut J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	156	—	2-11	146	157	121	62d	—	—	—	27.5	—	—
His jumping has not been the most fluent but he looks a high-class prospect
5	Gust Of Wind Brown J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	156	—	15	-	137	100	41d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Readily left behind by four rivals from the home turn in Grade 1 on Irish debut
6	Hypotenus Chestnut J:Sean Bowen T:John C Mcconnell	J:Sean Bowen T:John C Mcconnell	156	ht	2	-	138	119	20d	—	—	—	5	—	—
7-1 in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding), making most and keeping on 3l behind Zenta
7	Jacovec Cavern Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Paul Hennessy	J:Sean Flanagan T:Paul Hennessy	156	h	606	110	118	93	27d	—	—	—	15	—	—
Has struggled, including with his jumping, in three Irish maiden hurdles in the mud
8	Jipcot Bay J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	J:Luca Morgan T:Ben Pauling	156	—	240U11	127	136	-	26d	—	—	—	35.5	—	—
Won twice when back over hurdles at Pau (2m1f, very soft) last month, well on top
9	Jupiter Du Gite Bay J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	J:Niall Houlihan T:Gary Moore	156	h	3-16	-	140	124	48d	—	—	—	2.1	—	—
First of two British runs looked very promising; after latest, he badly needs to calm down
10	Rightsotom Bay J:Jack Foley T:Thomas Mullins	J:Jack Foley T:Thomas Mullins	156	—	2	-	121	110	129d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Should improve after Fairyhouse 2nd but this second assignment couldn't be much harder
11	Cinsa Bay J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	149	—	4-6	-	129	91	41d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Can leave Irish debut form way behind in due course but she is surely best watched today
12	Gala Marceau Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	149	h	1-121	141	158	125	41d	—	—	—	29.8	—	—
Badly failed to settle both Irish starts but still won Grade 1 from Lossiemouth; hood now
13	Je Garde Grey J:Michael O'Sullivan T:W P Mullins	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:W P Mullins	149	—	3	-	129	-	159d	—	—	—	3	—	—
22-1, 5l 3rd of 11 in hurdle race for 3yo fillies at Auteuil (2m2f, very soft) in October
14	Lossiemouth Grey J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	149	—	1-112	142	161	122	41d	—	—	—	30	—	—
Lost her unbeaten record in Grade 1 but was hampered before Gala Marceau got first run
15	Zenta Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	149	—	11	-	145	122	20d	—	—	—	17	—	—
Went past Hypotenus in Fairyhouse Grade 3 before bad mistakes at the last two flights
