9	Sharjah Bay J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	155	t	32424-	155	174	150	69d	—	—	-2	49.7	0.17/1	4/6 60%
Not at his best last season but still sets the standard and shouldn't be far away.
5	Cash Back Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	155	h	2320-2	142	163	143	38d	—	—	+25	29.1	4.75/1	20 5%
Weighted to turn the tables from Ballinrobe; better suited by this more conventional track
10	Sole Pretender Bay J:J J Slevin T:Norman Lee	J:J J Slevin T:Norman Lee	155	h	3333-2	-	162	143	38d	—	—	-2	7.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Winner and second in this race in previous years; drops back in trip but is a contender
3	Fils Doudairies Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	159	—	145-F1	145	162	109	38d	—	—	+21	25	4.75/1	20 5%
Weighted to have the tables turned on him by Cash Back here but should go well
12	Tekao Bay J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	151	h	31303-	133	150	121	72d	—	—	+23	31	2.50/1	11 9%
Third in a graded handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival when last seen;could go well
1	Icare Allen Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	162	t	3/300-	140	153	104	113d	—	—	+19	26.8	2.00/1	9 11%
Well beaten in two big-field handicap hurdles; interesting that he is Townend's preferred
6	Jeff Kidder Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Noel Meade	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Noel Meade	155	—	/3/7-U	-	146	105	26d	—	—	-2	0.8	6.75/1	28 4%
Unlucky latest; more suited by the drop back to 2m and the stable continue in fine form
2	Da Capo Glory Bay J:Mike O'Connor T:Padraig Butler	J:Mike O'Connor T:Padraig Butler	159	—	/402-1	137	152	79	26d	—	—	+29	33	4.25/1	18 6%
Did not seem to be crying out for a drop in trip at Punchestown; respected for all that
NR	Shanroe Bay J:TBC T:Karl Thornton	J: T:Karl Thornton	155	—	/0/20-	136	154	116	—	—	—	-31	41.5	19.75/1	80 1%
Has a little to find on ratings but a bold showing would not be a major surprise
13	Effernock Fizz Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Cian Michael Collins	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Cian Michael Collins	148	tp	2-2433	132	154	-	16d	—	—	+22	24.6	16.25/1	66 2%
One of the pace angles here although unlikely to stay there in this company
11	Visionarian Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Peter Fahey	J:Sean Flanagan T:Peter Fahey	155	—	12263-	-	150	-	84d	—	—	+4	10.7	2.75/1	12 8%
Rated a stone inferior over hurdles but respected if he can run close to his chase mark
7	Magic Tricks Bay J:Jody McGarvey T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jody McGarvey T:Gordon Elliott	155	—	07232/	140	160	-	515d	—	—	+31	32.6	16.25/1	66 2%
Very consistent in big handicap hurdles; best watched on his first start for 17 months
4	A Wave Of The Sea Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	155	—	P03P9-	-	146	123	82d	—	—	-1	0.5	24.75/1	100 1%
Never dangerous ninth in the Grand National; best watched on a rare try over flights
14	Enfranchise Bay J:Brian Hayes T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Brian Hayes T:John Joseph Hanlon	148	—	0-54	118	146	95	—	—	—	+16	17.3	37.25/1	150 1%
Won the Ulster Oaks at Down Royal but has plenty to find on ratings back over flights
