Could strip fitter for his return to action at Cork when finishing in midfield
2	Macs Xpress Chestnut J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Mrs John Harrington	167	p	0760-F	100	109	66	5d	—	—	+3	16.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
He was disputing second when falling late on at Tipperary last week
NR	Mutadaawel Bay J:TBC T:Nigel Thomas Slevin	J: T:Nigel Thomas Slevin	164	—	/8493/	97	105	-	437d	—	—	0	20.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Last seen finishing a 5l third on heavy ground at Navan in March 2022
7	Future Proof Bay J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:P J Rothwell	162	p	0003-8	95	101	73	5d	—	—	+5	13.6	2.50/1	11 9%
Would have been behind Mac's Xpress at Tipperary had the latter not fallen late on
NR	Flashthelights Bay J:TBC T:Stephen Mcconville	J: T:Stephen Mcconville	151	tp	703P-7	84	108	93	22d	—	—	-1	12.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Reserve; has a win to his name and wasn't beaten too far at Down Royal latest
NR	Small Money Chestnut J:TBC T:Anthony Mullins	J: T:Anthony Mullins	152	—	0009-	85	89	42	96d	—	—	0	12.4	6.00/1	25 4%
Reserve; poor so far including his handicap debut; may approve of this drier ground
13	Movie King Chestnut J:Mr B M Coonan(7) T:A J Martin	J:Mr B M Coonan(7) T:A J Martin	155	t	/0208-	88	108	82	—	—	—	+7	13.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Might be better for a break and he did go close at Kilbeggan last August (2m, good).
3	Star Official Bay J:Danny Mullins T:R Donohoe	J:Danny Mullins T:R Donohoe	167	—	667-	100	103	75	—	—	—	+8	14.1	2.75/1	12 8%
Flat winner; uncompetitive in maiden hurdles but handicaps should be more like it
8	Light Parade Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:W J Burke	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:W J Burke	161	—	13446-	94	105	97	43d	—	—	+1	19.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Has struggled with his new mark since winning at Thurles in November
10	Lucy Van Pelt Bay J:J J Slevin T:Peter Maher	J:J J Slevin T:Peter Maher	159	—	10530-	92	99	82	28d	—	—	+10	16.3	3.25/1	14 7%
Being 10lb higher than for last May's C&D success may anchor her once more
4	Toms Courage Bay J:Niall Moore(7) T:John M Burke	J:Niall Moore(7) T:John M Burke	167	h	667U0-	100	108	93	89d	—	—	+8	14.2	2.75/1	12 8%
More than two years since the last of his two wins; beaten 10l three months ago
11	Serpolette Bay J:Phillip Enright T:E D Delany	J:Phillip Enright T:E D Delany	159	—	26000-	92	108	96	146d	—	—	+7	13.2	3.75/1	16 6%
A winner off this mark and getting back on good ground will help her enormously
14	Princess Sophia Bay J:E Walsh(5) T:Ciaran Murphy	J:E Walsh(5) T:Ciaran Murphy	154	h	54466-	87	100	68	236d	—	—	-1	13.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Left Mags Mullins and debuts for new yard here with hood tried
15	Redwood Queen Bay J:Mark McDonagh(5) T:C Byrnes	J:Mark McDonagh(5) T:C Byrnes	154	—	921U9-	87	108	66	213d	—	—	+5	18.7	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Cartmel winner last July; interesting to see what Charles Byrnes can do with her
9	The Virginian Chestnut J:Peter Smithers(7) T:Padraig Roche	J:Peter Smithers(7) T:Padraig Roche	160	t	88/00-	93	102	50	180d	—	—	+8	12	5.25/1	22 5%
Has hinted at winning potential as a jumper and this ground should be up his street
R17	Mad For The Craic Bay J:Conor McNamara T:E Mcnamara	J:Conor McNamara T:E Mcnamara	154	t	0900-	87	99	61	72d	—	—	+6	10.6	4.75/1	20 5%
Reserve; 66-1 when tailed off on his handicap debut; first run on goodish ground now
6	Action Station Chestnut J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Prunella Dobbs	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Prunella Dobbs	162	—	0/899-	95	91	54	227d	—	—	+9	12	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Failed to raise his low-key profile when 50-1 for handicap debut in October; much to prove
16	Shana Cloon Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	150	—	000-	89	97	-	39d	—	—	+8	10.3	16.25/1	66 2%
Handicap debutante and she earned this low a mark on testing ground
12	Tincurra Lad Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:W J Martin	J:Donagh Meyler T:W J Martin	156	h	10900-	89	104	85	204d	—	—	+8	13.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Defied a similar mark last year but his last four runs were bitterly disappointing
