Could have more to offer on handicap debut but has no experience of this sort of ground
5 (5)	Vocal Studies Brown J:Luke McAteer(3) T:J S Bolger	J:Luke McAteer(3) T:J S Bolger	135	—	6210-2	86	96	87	13d	—	—	-3	21.3	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Naas second relishes heavy; claimer negates his 3lb rise and considered a major player
2 (10)	Joe Masseria Bay J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	137	b	4104-0	88	97	85	14d	—	—	0	13.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Midfield Lincoln finish no disgrace although ideally wants further than this
4 (15)	San Aer Bay J:Ben Coen T:Thomas Mullins	J:Ben Coen T:Thomas Mullins	135	t	9214-4	86	97	87	14d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+1	12.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Lincoln fourth down in class and likely big player on ground he clearly handles
15 (7)	Independent Expert Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	123	—	2576-4	74	103	78	13d	—	1W/1P 1 run	-1	8.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Strong-finishing fourth over inadequate 6f at Naas; could run a big race back at best trip
12 (8)	Secret Magician Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Martin Hassett	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Martin Hassett	129	—	41032-	80	96	79	164d	—	—	+12	19.7	2.25/1	10 10%
Runs well fresh and no problem with ground but could find a few stronger in the finish
10 (12)	Cheers Again Bay J:Robert Whearty(7) T:Paul W Flynn	J:Robert Whearty(7) T:Paul W Flynn	131	t	0041-1	82	87	10	94d	—	—	+13	19.9	2.25/1	10 10%
Rapidly improving polytrack performer but heavy ground a definite concern here
7 (9)	Spanish Tenor Chestnut J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian Mcguinness	J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian Mcguinness	134	—	0400-4	85	101	101	13d	—	—	+6	9.6	6.00/1	25 4%
Downward trajectory of late; fair bit to find with Vocal Studies on recent Naas running
1 (2)	Maud Gonne Spirit Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	140	p	4/10-0	91	95	45	14d	—	—	+8	11	8.00/1	33 3%
Lincoln also-ran has conditions to suit but may still be just that bit high in handicap
14 (11)	Navagio Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:R P Cody	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:R P Cody	126	h	15200-	77	99	95	183d	—	—	+9	12.2	8.00/1	33 3%
Ended last season with sound defeats, probably best watched on return for new yard
11 (6)	Crystal Black Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Gerard Keane	J:Gary Carroll T:Gerard Keane	131	—	6600-9	82	96	56	13d	—	—	+6	8.7	8.00/1	33 3%
Loads to find on recent Naas comeback run
3 (14)	Laughifuwant Bay J:Mark Enright T:Gerard Keane	J:Mark Enright T:Gerard Keane	135	—	5005-0	86	96	77	13d	—	—	+8	9.5	16.25/1	66 2%
On a steady decline and recent Naas comeback run wasn't too encouraging
13 (4)	Coumshingaun Bay J:Mpumelelo Mjoka(3) T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Mpumelelo Mjoka(3) T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	126	h	0050-0	77	97	98	13d	—	—	+5	7.2	12.25/1	50 2%
Handicapper seems to have her measure right now and this trip stretches her
NR (1)	All Lies Ahead Bay J:TBC T:W Mccreery	J: T:W Mccreery	133	—	412-1	84	99	85	3d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—
Wednesday's Leopardstown winner with likely more to offer but this looks much tougher
NR (13)	Big Baby Bull Chestnut J:TBC T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J: T:Denis Gerard Hogan	132	tp	248-00	83	100	81	13d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
Both runs this year way below his best and hard to see him playing a major role here
