6	Doyenna Bay J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Lorna Fowler	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Lorna Fowler	161	t	12185-	107	120	104	43d	—	—	+8	28.9	0.50/1	3 33%
Nicely progressive last season; feasible excuses for her last two defeats; respected.
2	Set Point Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gordon Elliott	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gordon Elliott	167	p	6604-1	113	112	90	14d	—	—	+15	30.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Nicely on top at Down Royal but a 9lb rise for that spells some danger.
4	New Ross Bay J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	164	p	P/149-	110	116	94	90d	—	—	+5	19	1.63/1	13/2 13%
High mark since his win at Thurles and probably needs cheekpieces to give him a lift.
5	Starman Grey J:Simon Torrens T:Declan Queally	J:Simon Torrens T:Declan Queally	162	h	875U-2	108	124	104	21d	—	—	+13	22	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Perhaps has his quirks but up to winning off this mark as he showed at Kilbeggan.
7	Laser Focus Bay J:Mike O'Connor(5) T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Mike O'Connor(5) T:Henry De Bromhead	160	t	4272-5	106	117	93	21d	—	—	+6	17.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Has form here; had Doyenna behind when just missing out at Kilbeggan in April.
9	Craic Eile Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:David Kenneth Budds	J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:David Kenneth Budds	153	t	5006-0	99	116	102	22d	—	—	+6	14.5	2.00/1	9 11%
Both wins here and won't mind returning to drier ground, but others are in better form.
8	Frontline Worker Brown J:Conor McNamara T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Conor McNamara T:Henry De Bromhead	159	—	/14U8-	105	116	98	257d	—	—	+10	17.8	3.25/1	14 7%
Maiden winner; perhaps 2m4f was too far in her first completed handicap.
3	Tom Mcgreevy Bay J:Cian Quirke(7) T:Liz Doyle	J:Cian Quirke(7) T:Liz Doyle	167	ht	22FF4-	113	120	101	237d	—	—	+12	18.2	3.75/1	16 6%
Runner-up in this 12 months ago off only 2lb lower; likely contender if fit enough.
1	Fascinating Shadow Bay J:Brian Hayes T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Brian Hayes T:John Joseph Hanlon	168	—	1750-	114	115	81	36d	—	—	+14	20.9	2.50/1	11 9%
Cork maiden winner last year; 33-1 when down the field on April's handicap debut.
10	Take My Hand Grey J:Sean Flanagan T:Michael Mulvany	J:Sean Flanagan T:Michael Mulvany	149	—	7382-7	95	120	103	31d	—	—	+7	12.9	3.75/1	16 6%
Four-time Flat winner; 0-8 over hurdles but competitive form; last run too bad to be true.
11	Breezy Bell Brown J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Edward Cawley	J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Edward Cawley	146	t	/7000-	92	113	56	89d	—	—	+7	11.7	6.00/1	25 4%
Four career wins but thoroughly exposed and ended last season on a low note.
