Benefit Run (11/4), Pound A Stroke (7/2), First Class Return (5/1), Bee A Beneficiary (7/1), Bridge Native (8/1), Tintown Robin (8/1), Itscatrionaschoice (8/1), Chosen Hour (8/1)

The Ross O'Sullivan-trained BENEFIT RUN won at the second time of asking over the larger obstacles when landing a Thurles 2m2f beginners contest in November and looks capable of improvement to win again here under jockey Rachael Blackmore. The Beneficial gelding hinted at a cosy win last time out and can get the better of the Declan Queally-trained Bee A Beneficiary who is clearly better than her last run suggests. Itscatrionaschoice, the mount of Jack Kennedy and Tintown Robin look set to compete for remaining prize money.
