5 (2)	The Antarctic Grey J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P Obrien	131	—	2132-3	112	119	105	29d	—	—	-4	28.5	0.47/1	15/8 35%
Arguably the pick of the field on juvenile form, probably not suited by heavy at Navan
15 (13)	Ocean Quest Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	128	—	132-1	107	122	92	29d	—	—	+7	31.5	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Routed a field that included The Antarctic and Shartash in testing conditions at Navan
12 (12)	Mauiewowie Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	128	—	121-2	101	114	95	16d	—	—	+10	20.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Solid chance now after second to a British-trained rival in a Listed sprint at Cork
1 (7)	Shartash Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	134	—	1334-4	109	114	100	29d	—	—	+9	17.1	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Failed to do himself justice on seasonal debut, held his own at top level last season
14 (4)	Ocean Jewel Bay J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	128	—	612-	96	105	90	244d	—	—	+18	25.6	2.75/1	12 8%
Second in a 6f Listed race last September, capable of making further progress at three.
6 (6)	Thunderbear Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Jack W Davison	J:Ronan Whelan T:Jack W Davison	131	—	610-41	98	105	95	19d	—	—	+8	13.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Nottingham handicap winner, needs to improve again in order to feature at this level
10 (1)	Clever And Cool Bay J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	128	p	75-844	95	107	79	20d	—	—	+9	12.2	8.00/1	33 3%
Has shown a tendency to start slowly, needs to raise her game considerably
4 (8)	Song For Whoever Chestnut J:Andrew Slattery T:John S Odonoghue	J:Andrew Slattery T:John S Odonoghue	131	—	281-1	93	104	-	114d	—	—	+19	21.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Will need to surpass Dundalk form considerably in order to make an impact on turf debut.
2 (10)	Apache Outlaw Chestnut J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	131	t	21355-	97	109	88	274d	—	—	+15	18	8.00/1	33 3%
Third behind Shartash in Railway Stakes, plenty to prove in this grade on overall form
8 (15)	Apricot Twist Bay J:Gary Carroll T:G M Lyons	J:Gary Carroll T:G M Lyons	128	t	1947-	96	108	96	233d	—	—	+11	15.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last August, second-string for trainer of Mauiewowie
11 (3)	Maria Branwell Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	128	—	6596-4	93	107	104	16d	—	—	+8	12	3.75/1	16 6%

13 (14)	Nightcliff Bay J:N G McCullagh T:David J Geary	J:N G McCullagh T:David J Geary	128	t	41-558	94	106	84	14d	—	—	+10	11.5	16.25/1	66 2%
Did not seem to stay 1m at Leopardstown a fortnight ago; others have strong credentials
9 (9)	Badb Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan Obrien	128	—	3066-7	93	109	100	16d	—	—	+9	11.2	16.25/1	66 2%
Seems well exposed, looks safely held by Mauiewowie on running at Cork on reappearance
3 (11)	Running Cool Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:Miss Natalia Lupini	J:Wayne Lordan T:Miss Natalia Lupini	131	—	7-3	-	90	65	18d	—	—	+2	3.4	19.75/1	80 1%
Showed maiden-winning potential on seasonal debut at Gowran, up against it at this level
7 (5)	Torivega Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	131	—	6-5	-	79	67	14d	—	—	-1	0.2	37.25/1	150 1%
Out of the money in two maiden outings, this looks highly ambitious
