3 (5)	Newfoundland Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Ryan Moore T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	137	p	219-76	88	92	68	34d	—	—	-3	14.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Cheekpieces tried and Moore stays on board; could go close on his first try at the trip
17 (15)	Grappa Nonino Bay J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	119	—	064-21	70	97	50	46d	—	—	-7	10	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Killarney winner 3lb wrong here but a thorough stayer and not to be underestimated
11 (7)	Immelmann Bay J:Gary Carroll T:W P Mullins	J:Gary Carroll T:W P Mullins	127	—	3283/	78	90	-	616d	—	—	+6	16.3	1.50/1	7 14%
Making a belated debut for Closutton here; absence is unlikely to be an issue; interesting
16 (17)	Extensio Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:P F Odonnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:P F Odonnell	119	—	242-02	70	102	41	16d	—	—	-1	7.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Staying second in a 1m7f handicap at Leopardstown last month; could go close
8 (6)	Sheishybrid Bay J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Noel Meade	J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Noel Meade	133	p	215-04	84	92	61	24d	—	—	+2	11.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Could well come on for her latest with a useful 7lb claimer aboard and the stable in form
2 (8)	Almuhit Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	138	p	23-002	89	93	69	24d	—	—	+5	11.5	3.75/1	16 6%
Step up to 2m should be right up his street and looks a live contender here
13 (2)	Marvelosa Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Richard John Obrien	124	—	744213	75	99	78	5d	—	—	+13	20.9	2.50/1	11 9%
Seemed to stay 1m5f at Ballinrobe on Monday; can be a factor if she sees out this trip
10 (1)	Dartan Grey J:Declan McDonogh T:Matthew J Smith	J:Declan McDonogh T:Matthew J Smith	128	t	/711-7	79	84	13	15d	—	—	+2	9.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Below his best latest; stays this trip well and would not be discounted on his best form
5 (13)	Ted Hastings Bay J:W J Lee T:Gordon Elliott	J:W J Lee T:Gordon Elliott	135	—	1-70	86	99	55	34d	—	—	+13	17.1	5.25/1	22 5%
Four-time winner over hurdles but off the boil in two Flat runs in May; much more needed
9 (4)	Foveros Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:W P Mullins	J:Wayne Lordan T:W P Mullins	129	—	20/00-	80	91	42	—	—	—	+5	8.3	6.75/1	28 4%
Five-time winner not seen well beaten in two of the big handicaps at Galway last summer
15 (14)	Crystal Caves Bay J:Jamie Powell(5) T:Thomas Gibney	J:Jamie Powell(5) T:Thomas Gibney	119	—	6541-4	70	98	76	15d	—	—	+2	6	5.25/1	22 5%
Has to prove she stays the trip but could be one to sneak into a place if she does
1 (11)	Magellan Strait Chestnut J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	140	tp	1210-8	91	99	61	43d	—	—	+8	11	6.00/1	25 4%
Never really got involved at Leopardstown in May; step up in trip could well suit
4 (9)	Kingswear Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	135	—	732676	86	97	67	15d	—	—	+7	12.5	4.75/1	20 5%
Only beaten a couple of lengths in the Cork Derby last time and interesting upped in trip
14 (16)	Coventry Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Gordon Elliott	J:Leigh Roche T:Gordon Elliott	119	b	20/90-	70	90	-	—	—	—	+3	5.8	9.75/1	40 3%
Stays well but lost his way over hurdles last season and hard to recommend
NR (12)	Firstman Bay J:TBC T:A J Martin	J: T:A J Martin	133	t	122056	84	97	58	24d	—	—	0	15.3	6.75/1	28 4%
Has not carried AW form to his efforts on turf of late, albeit in some competitive heats
6 (10)	Line Out Bay J:Ben Coen T:John E & Thomas Kiely	J:Ben Coen T:John E & Thomas Kiely	134	—	6181/	85	98	-	629d	—	—	+21	24.6	6.75/1	28 4%

12 (3)	Kendancer Bay J:Jack Kearney(7) T:C Byrnes	J:Jack Kearney(7) T:C Byrnes	126	—	5/6/75	77	88	32	27d	—	—	+6	7.1	24.75/1	100 1%
Not much to recommend since returning in April from 16 months off; others preferred
