Chaser of obvious appeal now off 27lb lower hurdles mark and ground probably okay; reserve
8	Sheephaven Flyer Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	160	—	/590-3	94	101	49	21d	—	—	+2	19	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Downpatrick staying-on third over 2m6f augurs well; one to consider
10	Unheralded Bay J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:T J Nagle Jr	J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:T J Nagle Jr	159	—	0533-9	93	108	55	20d	—	—	+4	13.3	1.75/1	8 13%
Didn't seem to stay 3m1f last time; quicker ground an unknown
1	All Walks Of Life Bay J:Charlie O'Dwyer(5) T:Michael Hourigan	J:Charlie O'Dwyer(5) T:Michael Hourigan	168	—	5598-9	102	103	60	20d	—	—	+9	14.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Recent handicap runs suggest she's a little way off a winning mark; longer trip could suit
6	Just Hannah Bay J:Conor Orr T:C Byrnes	J:Conor Orr T:C Byrnes	160	—	8585U-	94	98	89	40d	—	—	+6	12.9	2.50/1	11 9%
Tailed off when unseating at Tramore; this better ground should suit
5	Whos Houdini Bay J:J J Slevin T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:J J Slevin T:John Joseph Hanlon	162	—	34UP-6	96	106	43	21d	—	—	+7	13.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Fourth over fences at Tramore but needs to improve plenty on recent hurdles form
17	Saint Bernadette Bay J:Niall Prendergast(7) T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Niall Prendergast(7) T:John Patrick Ryan	157	—	0333P-	91	107	56	183d	—	—	+9	14.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Lacks a recent run but does have her conditions so not one to rule out
18	Finding Freedom Bay J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	155	—	15090-	89	97	17	129d	—	—	+7	13.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Points' winner on good a potential improver on this better ground on handicap debut
NR	Jesina Bay J:TBC T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J: T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	153	t	9/00P-	87	101	80	145d	—	—	-43	29.3	6.00/1	25 4%
Bumper form on good ground; hurdling disappointing, now starts for new yard; reserve
NR	Galmar Bay J:TBC T:Brendan Maurice Walsh	J: T:Brendan Maurice Walsh	152	—	049P-7	86	108	74	15d	—	—	-43	29	6.00/1	25 4%
Hard to fancy unless quicker ground brings major improvement
4	Tilloughna Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:David Kenneth Budds	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:David Kenneth Budds	163	t	36789-	97	102	51	35d	—	—	+9	13.6	6.00/1	25 4%
Bumper promise not yet matched over hurdles; ground an unknown
14	Battle Of Benburb Bay J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:John C Mcconnell	157	t	9P96-P	91	113	101	21d	—	—	+6	12	6.75/1	28 4%
Back hurdling and only 2lb above winning mark so not one to rule out with ground to suit
15	Carnet De Stage Bay J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Eugene M Osullivan	J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Eugene M Osullivan	157	p	3PPP-0	91	104	51	11d	—	—	+7	11.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Better chaser, reverting to hurdles for first time since midfield in this race last year
2	Jakie Mac Chestnut J:Daniel King(5) T:Damian Murphy	J:Daniel King(5) T:Damian Murphy	165	h	0207-8	99	110	80	8d	—	—	+9	13.6	6.00/1	25 4%
Inadequate trips of late; potential improver now upped in trip
NR	Carrig Cathal Bay J:TBC T:D Broad	J: T:D Broad	158	t	/726U-	92	110	80	115d	—	—	+8	12.8	9.75/1	40 3%
Formerly 137-rated hurdler with restricted campaign in recent years; hard to assess
12	Double Jubilee Bay J:Conor Smithers(7) T:J G Murray	J:Conor Smithers(7) T:J G Murray	158	p	P/208-	92	114	74	315d	—	—	+7	11.7	8.00/1	33 3%
Second over 3m1f at Ballinrobe a year ago; cheekpieces tried on first start for new yard
16	Elegant Dan Chestnut J:Sean Flanagan T:David M Obrien	J:Sean Flanagan T:David M Obrien	157	—	80/70-	91	103	37	287d	—	—	+7	11.5	8.00/1	33 3%
Regressed last year and seems best watched here on first start since August
9	Dylan Lombardy Chestnut J:G B Noonan(5) T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J:G B Noonan(5) T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	159	t	7P268-	93	107	64	35d	—	—	+10	14	12.25/1	50 2%
Respected back hurdling with ground to suit although untried over this far
13	Elusive Sea Bay J:Ben Harvey(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Ben Harvey(5) T:Gordon Elliott	158	tp	30PPP-	92	104	34	81d	—	—	+8	11.6	12.25/1	50 2%
Cheekpieces tried and return to better ground to suit but too many question marks
7	Portnacoo Bay J:Liam McKenna(5) T:Jamie Albert Sloan	J:Liam McKenna(5) T:Jamie Albert Sloan	160	—	9556-0	94	109	28	21d	—	—	+8	12.2	16.25/1	66 2%
Mildly promising debut hasn't been backed up and of limited appeal on handicap debut
3	Prussia With Love Brown J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Shane Crawley	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Shane Crawley	165	t	4/PP/0	99	106	-	22d	—	—	+9	13.4	19.75/1	80 1%
