Winner over C&D in April; has got away with 3lb rise and should be very competitive
5 (2)	Bigz Belief Bay J:Jack Cleary(4) T:Matthew J Smith	J:Jack Cleary(4) T:Matthew J Smith	133	tb	1/2653	56	73	61	—	—	—	-5	14.2	3 33%
Won a claiming hurdle at Sligo; bang in form and a good run is likely from a good draw
14 (14)	Tory Reel Bay J:Cian MacRedmond T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J:Cian MacRedmond T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	126	—	0860-3	49	66	33	31d	—	—	-5	6.1	8 13%
May well have needed it at Gowran and the drop back in trip could suit; interesting runner
13 (19)	Notturno Bay J:Adam Caffrey T:Noel Meade	J:Adam Caffrey T:Noel Meade	126	b	9-5253	62	67	25	22d	—	—	-4	5.7	15/2 12%
Consistent performer in similar handicaps this year; likely to be on the premises again

Good runs last twice; ground versatile and a leading player here on that sort of evidence
NR (18)	Wild Shot Brown J:TBC T:John C Mcconnell	J: T:John C Mcconnell	131	—	687460	54	74	32	24d	—	—	-2	2.3	18 6%
Not at his best on AW this year, fair sixth at Gowran before a lesser display at Tipperary
NR (5)	Pinot Gris Grey J:TBC T:Gavin Cromwell	J: T:Gavin Cromwell	127	—	8094	63	63	37	32d	—	—	-1	4.9	20 5%
Encouraging display when fourth on handicap debut at Roscommon, cheekpieces may help
10 (3)	Dinamine Chestnut J:Cillian McConnell(7) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Cillian McConnell(7) T:John C Mcconnell	128	—	29506-	51	73	59	260d	—	—	-2	2.5	20 5%
Debuts for John McConnell here after eight months off and no surprise should he run well

Effective front-runner at his best but no trace of his best form this year; little appeal
9 (9)	Bear Claws Bay J:Calum Hogan(7) T:E Mcnamara	J:Calum Hogan(7) T:E Mcnamara	128	tp	050/0-	51	74	-	—	—	—	-2	1.2	33 3%
