2	Queen Jane Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	164	t	146511	128	133	47	32d	—	—	+26	40.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Raised 11lb for Limerick but it's hard to gauge the ceiling of her ability.
3	Western Zara Grey J:Richard Deegan T:Paul Nolan	J:Richard Deegan T:Paul Nolan	163	—	2-5307	127	137	110	42d	—	—	+13	26.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Runner-up 12 months ago and she didn't run at all badly in the Kim Muir latest.
1	Broomfield Hall Bay J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:J P Dempsey	J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:J P Dempsey	166	t	1-11P4	130	134	107	19d	—	—	+17	31	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Would appear to be on a tough mark for this handicap debut over fences.
7	Lilith Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Rex Dingle T:Anthony Honeyball	153	tb	1-3313	117	138	103	37d	—	—	+17	26.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Below best last time but she won this 12 months ago and is only 5lb higher.
11	Indie Belle Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:Robert Widger	J:J J Slevin T:Robert Widger	143	t	346601	107	139	83	25d	—	—	+17	26.9	2.25/1	10 10%
Has to deal with a 9lb rise in this better race but she has momentum behind her.
5	Pont Aval Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	157	t	/P2245	121	136	109	17d	—	—	+17	23.2	2.75/1	12 8%
0-5 over fences and was quiet on handicap debut; perhaps a tongue-tie can help.
6	Secret She Keeps Chestnut J:Mark Walsh T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Mark Walsh T:Henry De Bromhead	156	—	7-3214	120	134	118	158d	—	—	+8	21.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Solid start to chase career but lacks a run and Blackmore rides the stablemate.
12	Shes Some Doll Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	140	t	1FF323	104	132	69	25d	—	—	+17	22.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Even if back on song it's not ideal being 4lb out of the weights.
10	Bonnie Kellie Bay J:Mr A P Ryan(7) T:S Curling	J:Mr A P Ryan(7) T:S Curling	144	t	123345	108	136	116	13d	—	—	+14	19.5	3.75/1	16 6%
Not at her best over hurdles last time but had been competitive over fences.
4	Optional Mix Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Eoin Doyle	J:Phillip Enright T:Eoin Doyle	159	t	121238	123	137	111	13d	—	—	+24	27.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Usually consistent in both disciplines but has to bounce back from two quiet runs.
9	Influential Lady Bay J:Kieran Callaghan(7) T:James M Barcoe	J:Kieran Callaghan(7) T:James M Barcoe	145	—	377060	109	135	74	145d	—	—	+13	15.5	8.00/1	33 3%
Only 1-11 over fences and recent form not good enough to seriously consider here.
8	Kallis Quest Bay J:John Shinnick(7) T:Terence Obrien	J:John Shinnick(7) T:Terence Obrien	148	p	673FP1	112	136	116	54d	—	—	+21	26	3.25/1	14 7%
Navan winner; up 4lb in a stronger race this time and perhaps placed at best.
