Ballinrobe bumper winner; nice prospect and likely to make the market on his hurdles debut
9	Hypotenus ch J:Ben Harvey(3) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Ben Harvey(3) T:John C Mcconnell	154	ht	2P-2	-	144	121	17d	—	—	-15	13.9	15/8 35%
Lessons will have been learned from his Cork defeat and should go close here
4	Samui b J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	19-21	-	128	117	59d	—	—	-14	5.7	3 33%
Easily won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in June; progressive and shouldn't be far away here
5	Your Honor b J:Rachael Blackmore T:J A Nash	J:Rachael Blackmore T:J A Nash	161	—	5147-3	120	128	125	—	—	—	+14	23	12 8%
Overall form and rating entitles him to respect but others look a bit more likely
1	Dark Note ch J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Andrew Slattery	J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Andrew Slattery	161	—	5-3321	118	126	109	—	—	—	+13	18.4	20 5%
Tough ask here against unexposed and potentially good opponents but should run his race
2	Gordons Aura b J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan(7) T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	73U-44	116	123	93	23d	—	—	+13	17.9	25 4%
Not at his best in a Bellewstown novice hurdle last time; deserted by Jack Kennedy today
3	Jay Jay Zee b J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	161	—	1-32	-	114	75	15d	—	—	+5	7.7	50 2%
Probably stable third-string here and others much more likely
NR	Good Lad b J:TBC T:John Joseph Hanlon	J: T:John Joseph Hanlon	154	—	5	-	-	-	57d	—	—	-1	0.5	100 1%
Well beaten in a Kilbeggan bumper on debut last month; work cut out on his hurdles debut
12	Mercury Mission b J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Michael John Oconnor	J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Michael John Oconnor	154	—	23	-	121	106	17d	—	—	+5	6.9	100 1%
Good second in a Roscommon maiden on his hurdles debut; well adrift of Hypotenus at Cork
6	Blue Reed b J:Sean Flanagan T:W J Burke	J:Sean Flanagan T:W J Burke	154	t	76-	-	114	54	113d	—	—	-1	0.2	200 1%
Not beaten far in a Punchestown bumper and a Cork maiden hurdle; much more needed
7	Cosmic Blizzard b J:Phillip Enright T:S Curling	J:Phillip Enright T:S Curling	154	t	P44-8	-	-	-	25d	—	—	0	0.2	200 1%
Made little impression in a 2m bumper at Tipperary earlier this month; hard to fancy
11	Marksetgo b J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	154	—	07	-	-	-	11d	—	—	0	0.1	300 0%
Not beaten far after being hampered in a Killarney bumper 11 days ago; much more needed
10	Keeptellinemnuttin b J:A P Heskin T:Michael Mulvany	J:A P Heskin T:Michael Mulvany	154	—	60	-	95	47	10d	—	—	0	0.1	500 0%
Soundly beaten in both starts over hurdles and makes no appeal here
