#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1	Leish Oscars Son Brown J:Conor Maxwell T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Maxwell T:Gavin Cromwell	168	—	/46F1-	95	98	-	—	—	—	+9	24.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Some promise under rules and kicks off for Gavin Cromwell after winning a point
10	Crafty Gael Bay J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Ross Osullivan	J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Ross Osullivan	161	p	0626-2	93	102	76	19d	—	—	+7	19.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Returning to further looks a good move after boxing on over 2m here last month
NR	Emily In Paris Bay J:TBC T:D E Fitzgerald	J: T:D E Fitzgerald	165	—	707-82	92	99	78	8d	—	—	+1	14.1	4.75/1	20 5%
RPR of 96 when an 11l second in her final maiden so this mark doesn't look beyond her
16	Brehon Star Bay J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:Shane Crawley	J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:Shane Crawley	158	b	5430-7	85	101	68	16d	—	—	+5	10.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Only 1-24 but Limerick last time may have been needed after a break
NR	Inaghs Gift Bay J:TBC T:Sean P Hennessy	J: T:Sean P Hennessy	153	—	69786-	80	102	70	241d	—	—	+4	8.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Longstanding maiden who has been chasing and makes limited appeal on return to hurdles
5	Serpolette Bay J:E Walsh(3) T:E D Delany	J:E Walsh(3) T:E D Delany	165	t	000-02	92	106	85	9d	—	—	+6	12.4	2.50/1	11 9%
Seems to need good ground and ran a solid race in defeat at Down Royal nine days ago
9	Depeche Mo Bay J:Hugh Morgan T:Eric Larkin	J:Hugh Morgan T:Eric Larkin	162	h	000-25	89	102	80	8d	—	—	+6	11.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Two solid runs in defeat of late but perhaps vulnerable once more
14	Doyen For A Drink Bay J:James O'Sullivan(5) T:Paul Nolan	J:James O'Sullivan(5) T:Paul Nolan	159	—	000-4	86	101	47	22d	—	—	+2	11.9	1.50/1	7 14%
Left maiden form behind to finish a 5l fourth in a 2m1f handicap at Wexford
24	Londonofficecallin Grey J:Daniel King(5) T:E Mcnamara	J:Daniel King(5) T:E Mcnamara	153	t	230P-6	80	102	74	16d	—	—	0	10.6	1.75/1	8 13%
Put in his place when failing to justify market confidence at Limerick
19	Flashthelights Bay J:Liam McKenna(5) T:Stephen Mcconville	J:Liam McKenna(5) T:Stephen Mcconville	156	tp	03P-79	83	105	88	11d	—	—	+6	9.2	6.75/1	28 4%
It was off a similar mark when winning a big-field handicap hurdle last year at Naas
3	Anyway Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:David Kenneth Budds	J:Shane Fitzgerald(3) T:David Kenneth Budds	165	—	800-6	92	98	67	11d	—	—	+8	11.4	6.00/1	25 4%
Struggled to land any sort of blow when 20-1 for his recent handicap debut at Wexford
21	Beat Of The Sea Bay J:Niall Moore(7) T:Seamus Fahey	J:Niall Moore(7) T:Seamus Fahey	153	p	0450-8	80	96	71	22d	—	—	+5	8.5	6.00/1	25 4%
Modest of late and an overall strike-rate of 2-58 further reduces her appeal
7	Unheralded Bay J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:T J Nagle Jr	J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:T J Nagle Jr	164	—	533-97	91	101	39	16d	—	—	+8	11.1	8.00/1	33 3%
Too keen and didn't last home over 2m6f at Limerick the last twice; each-way claims
11	Gamigin Bay J:Conor Orr T:Noel C Kelly	J:Conor Orr T:Noel C Kelly	160	—	7P50-0	87	94	83	37d	—	—	+7	10.2	5.25/1	22 5%
Both wins came on the Flat at Sligo; recent form has been thoroughly uninspiring
NR	Cathys Quest Bay J:TBC T:Terence Obrien	J: T:Terence Obrien	156	—	0/P9-0	83	81	68	11d	—	—	+5	9.5	12.25/1	50 2%
Nicely bred but beginning to look exposed as moderate after a quiet handicap debut
8	Attitash Bay J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	162	t	000-04	89	101	86	9d	—	—	+7	10.7	5.25/1	22 5%
Off a reduced mark he ran better at Down Royal (2m4f, good) when just behind Serpolette
R28	Applejack Poet Bay J:John Shinnick(7) T:Liz Doyle	J:John Shinnick(7) T:Liz Doyle	168	—	08900-	95	98	62	243d	—	—	+9	12.1	6.75/1	28 4%
Reserve; still early days and with a new yard but has to step up on his handicap form
22	Close Enough Bay J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:B J Hallahan	J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:B J Hallahan	153	—	30/P-8	80	98	51	27d	—	—	+6	8.2	8.00/1	33 3%
Form claims if going back far enough; this more suitable than latest assignment
R26	Sarahs Soldier Bay J:Corey McGivern(7) T:P A Fahy	J:Corey McGivern(7) T:P A Fahy	166	—	0090-P	93	103	4	16d	—	—	+8	11.7	8.00/1	33 3%
Promise in Naas maiden in February (beaten 22l in mid-field); pulled up on handicap bow
6	Maggie Walsh Bay J:Aidan Kelly(7) T:Michael J Bowe	J:Aidan Kelly(7) T:Michael J Bowe	164	—	1680-1	91	102	82	8d	—	—	+13	23.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Didn't win doing handsprings at Tramore and has gone up 6lb, but at least in form
20	Poker Night Bay J:Mike O'Connor(5) T:R P Cody	J:Mike O'Connor(5) T:R P Cody	156	t	580-08	83	98	56	9d	—	—	+7	8.7	19.75/1	80 1%
Beaten 16l+ in her three handicaps and has a lot to find on those efforts
23	Darkest Dawn Bay J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:J F Oshea	J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:J F Oshea	153	b	048P-0	80	65	-	16d	—	—	+6	7.9	19.75/1	80 1%
Eight-race maiden who doesn't appear to be going anywhere; shown nothing in the blinkers
2	Iurkash Black J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:Sean Thomas Doyle	J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:Sean Thomas Doyle	167	—	7070-3	94	101	84	8d	—	—	+7	16.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Beaten under 3l at Tramore (2m1f, good) last week when not unfancied in the market
12	Nasee Bay J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	160	p	0/7P-2	87	107	45	19d	—	—	+8	16.6	3.25/1	14 7%
No match for the winner over C&D 19 days ago but that was a fine run after so long out
13	Rathnaleen Zoey Bay J:Ambrose McCurtin T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J:Ambrose McCurtin T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	160	—	4500-8	87	94	73	31d	—	—	+8	9.7	16.25/1	66 2%
Testing ground perhaps not ideal the last twice; there's been a bit of good-ground promise
15	Plusthevat Chestnut J:Sarah Kavanagh(7) T:P A Fahy	J:Sarah Kavanagh(7) T:P A Fahy	159	—	4/00-0	86	101	-	16d	—	—	+8	9.4	31.00/1	125 1%
Tailed off in a hood at Limerick (2m3f) and that aid is now left off; unconvincing
17	Share The Joy Bay J:Richard Condon(5) T:W J Lanigan	J:Richard Condon(5) T:W J Lanigan	157	—	0/FP8-	84	85	20	51d	—	—	+7	8.9	19.75/1	80 1%
Precious little to shout about in a bumper and five maiden hurdles
25	Social Distancing Bay J:Ben Bromley(5) T:Neill Mccluskey	J:Ben Bromley(5) T:Neill Mccluskey	153	—	4PP-70	80	90	57	16d	—	—	+6	7.9	31.00/1	125 1%
50-1 for her recent handicap debut at Limerick and ran accordingly
