83 looks a fair mark although did not look last time as though he wanted a shorter trip
5 (10)	Semblance Of Order Bay J:Chris Hayes T:A Oliver	J:Chris Hayes T:A Oliver	135	b	-62312	82	91	88	26d	—	—	+12	27.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Fine Curragh run; effective over this trip and blinkers are tried; one of the ones to beat
2 (6)	Hero Blues Bay J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	138	—	841	85	90	62	13d	—	—	+8	23.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fairly handicapped but the step up to 1m should suit and more improvement is likely
9 (1)	Mere Accountant Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	129	v	21-34	76	94	76	32d	—	—	-4	10.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Form of her two runs at Cork and Naas ties in favourably with a couple of these
6 (4)	City Exile Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:David Marnane	J:Declan McDonogh T:David Marnane	130	b	45-283	77	96	58	23d	—	—	+1	9.1	2.50/1	11 9%
Third over just short of this trip at Tipperary; blinkers now fitted and place claims
1 (3)	National Emblem Bay J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:Mrs John Harrington	140	—	81-6	87	83	40	32d	—	—	-1	13.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
A bit disappointing on his return to action at Naas last month and capable of much better
8 (2)	Ninth Life Bay J:Jake Coen(5) T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Jake Coen(5) T:M Halford & T Collins	130	—	5-244	77	89	47	36d	—	—	+2	8.5	2.75/1	12 8%
Open to improvement and one of two for the stable here with similar chances
10 (5)	Slieve Binnian Grey J:Mikey Sheehy T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Mikey Sheehy T:M Halford & T Collins	128	—	00071-	75	88	63	223d	—	—	+13	17.5	5.25/1	22 5%
Bolted up in a Dundalk nursery when last seen in November; big run would not surprise
3 (9)	Cosmic Invasion Chestnut J:Gary Carroll T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Gary Carroll T:Henry De Bromhead	137	—	456-53	84	86	17	19d	—	—	+5	9.9	5.25/1	22 5%
Third in a conditions event at Listowel; down 5lb and no surprise should she run well
7 (7)	Encosta Bay J:Jamie Powell(5) T:Noel Meade	J:Jamie Powell(5) T:Noel Meade	130	—	3214-0	77	90	77	32d	—	—	+3	8.4	4.25/1	18 6%
No show in a Naas handicap first time and needs to step up but capable on last year's form
