Won a 1m4f Bellewstown maiden on heavy ground; has placed form on good ground; big player
10 (8)	The Very Man Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	138	p	2210-	88	91	68	—	—	—	+11	24.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Cracking hurdle efforts lately; Thurles 2m maiden winner last year; might find this sharp
20 (6)	Black Hawk Eagle Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Noel Meade	J:Oisin Murphy T:Noel Meade	126	—	2239-1	76	92	62	—	—	—	+7	20.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Won a Navan handicap (1m5f/hvy) on seasonal debut; that form has worked out strongly
2 (15)	Zanndabad Bay J:Ben Coen T:A J Martin	J:Ben Coen T:A J Martin	145	t	43113-	95	96	-	—	—	—	+23	28.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Ran respectably in three maiden hurdles over the winter; handles good ground; of interest
12 (1)	Mr Rango Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:Ross Osullivan	J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:Ross Osullivan	137	—	0613-3	87	93	68	21d	—	—	+8	13.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Fine return at Leopardstown over 1m2f but he is unproven over this far
8 (4)	Ted Hastings Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Gordon Elliott	J:Chris Hayes T:Gordon Elliott	139	—	1-7	89	95	60	12d	—	—	+14	17.9	5.25/1	22 5%
Never involved against some quality rivals at Killarney last time; has more chance here
7 (9)	Newfoundland Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	139	—	2219-7	89	92	74	38d	—	—	-2	14.8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Beaten favourite on return/stable debut but should have improved from that; Moore aboard
NR (5)	Phoenix Cowboy Bay J:TBC T:G M Lyons	J: T:G M Lyons	145	—	5000-4	95	94	80	60d	—	—	+9	12.2	8.00/1	33 3%
The ground was too testing for him on Navan return; run well if back to his best
14 (13)	Sheishybrid Bay J:Adam Caffrey(7) T:Noel Meade	J:Adam Caffrey(7) T:Noel Meade	135	b	53215-	85	90	56	—	—	—	+17	20	8.00/1	33 3%
Has a squeak on some of her best Flat runs last year; might find this trip a bit sharp
NR (21)	Rich Belief Bay J:TBC T:Karl Thornton	J: T:Karl Thornton	130	—	130-14	80	94	48	12d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-3	11.8	9.75/1	40 3%
Won at Navan over 1m5f before a solid run over 2m1f at Killarney off this mark
11 (20)	Kingswear Bay J:J M Sheridan(3) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan(3) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	137	—	-67326	87	91	52	21d	—	—	+9	16.2	4.75/1	20 5%
Below par in a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap last time but back to this trip will help
4 (17)	Dame Rapide Bay J:Luke McAteer(3) T:James M Barrett	J:Luke McAteer(3) T:James M Barrett	142	—	42700-	92	93	80	—	—	—	+9	13.1	6.00/1	25 4%
Won this last year; an excuse for a poor hurdle run last time; has to return to best
5 (10)	Almuhit Bay J:Mark Enright T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Mark Enright T:Denis Gerard Hogan	141	p	8123-0	91	96	79	16d	—	—	+7	11.5	4.75/1	20 5%
Couldn't get involved after a slow start in the Chester Cup; can't be ruled out
NR (16)	Mellow Magic Bay J:TBC T:Mrs John Harrington	J: T:Mrs John Harrington	138	—	328-18	88	93	72	25d	—	—	+5	11.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Disappointing in a Listed event at Gowran last time; seems stable's second-string
19 (2)	Last Ammo Chestnut J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	128	—	255-08	78	97	93	12d	—	—	+4	8.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Not at best in two starts for this yard; probably needs to drop further in the handicap
6 (14)	Golden Twilight Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	139	t	1261-0	89	100	57	21d	—	—	+6	11.1	4.25/1	18 6%
Solid sort; ground was too soft on seasonal debut and this will suit better
15 (19)	Morph Speed Bay J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	132	t	6707-7	82	98	77	37d	—	—	+3	10.1	2.50/1	11 9%
Encouragement on return for a new yard; player if improving from that with a tongue-tie on
17 (7)	Snapius Bay J:W J Lee T:J A Nash	J:W J Lee T:J A Nash	130	—	60/1-3	80	96	90	20d	—	—	+13	19.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Decent effort returned to the Flat at Ayr (1m2f); needs to find more; rise in trip a help
3 (11)	Bradesco Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	144	—	2/79-4	94	92	-	14d	—	—	+12	14.2	24.75/1	100 1%
Has a chance if improving from return but seems high in the weights
13 (12)	Bold Approach Bay J:Rory Cleary T:Brendan W Duke	J:Rory Cleary T:Brendan W Duke	136	—	353/0-	86	84	-	—	—	—	+4	10.7	24.75/1	100 1%
Disappointing over hurdles lately; poor on AW last Flat start and has to get back to best
21 (3)	Kingsofthemidlands Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:P A Fahy	J:Declan McDonogh T:P A Fahy	123	—	2044-9	73	97	76	12d	—	—	+5	6.2	37.25/1	150 1%
Well beaten in maiden hurdles for this yard and on recent Flat return; others appeal more
