Pick of last season's form came over C&D and declining mark becoming attractive

Didn't get home on handicap debut over 7f at Naas; back in trip here and one to consider

Didn't quite stay at Galway; trip here could suit, especially if ground softens

1m trip on soft probably too much of a stamina test on latest; claims back in trip

Seasonal-best when touched off over C&D in May; slow start didn't help at Navan latest.

Stiff task but ran to form on latest in Naas conditions; drops in trip and blinkers tried
4 (1)	Furnace Creek Chestnut J:Jack Kearney(7) T:Joseph Anthony Murray	J:Jack Kearney(7) T:Joseph Anthony Murray	139	—	041540	79	91	71	21d	—	—	+5	12.4	14 7%

Dual C&D winner but recent form not nearly good enough
16 (21)	Mercurial Bay J:Sean D Bowen(7) T:John J Nallen	J:Sean D Bowen(7) T:John J Nallen	129	—	38-760	69	83	69	11d	—	—	+2	6	25 4%
Tried over various trips this term to no great success; hard to be confident in
7 (5)	The Organiser Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:J F Levins	J:Donagh O'Connor T:J F Levins	137	—	863-50	77	92	59	99d	—	—	+3	8.4	20 5%
Two runs this year for current yard leave him with plenty to find despite reduced mark
1 (17)	Ice Cold In Alex Bay J:Jamie Powell(5) T:K J Condon	J:Jamie Powell(5) T:K J Condon	143	t	1-0249	83	93	79	42d	—	—	+7	18.6	7 14%
Likes this venue but needs to improve markedly on last month's C&D effort
14 (4)	Freedom Falls Bay J:Luke McAteer T:Jack W Davison	J:Luke McAteer T:Jack W Davison	130	p	5-4081	74	87	71	28d	—	—	+3	7.1	22 5%
Awarded Navan maiden last month but previous handicap form leaves her with plenty to find
10 (8)	Livingston Range Chestnut J:Oisin Murphy T:Leanne Breen	J:Oisin Murphy T:Leanne Breen	133	tb	1-0610	73	86	71	17d	—	—	+9	14.4	18 6%
9lb rise seemed to anchor him on soft at Naas; opposable for now
6 (2)	Super Over Chestnut J:Leigh Roche T:D P Coakley	J:Leigh Roche T:D P Coakley	138	p	151-30	78	14	22	41d	—	—	+5	7.8	33 3%

Wins at 7f; joined current yard after below-par run in Killarney claimer; hard to fancy
NR (12)	Shoebox King Bay J:TBC T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J: T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	127	—	060413	67	88	75	15d	—	—	+9	16.1	16 6%
Barely got home over this trip at Cork so stamina concerns over this stiffer track

Unlucky Scurry fifth a dual C&D winner on soft; big player given more luck in running
19 (10)	Un Bacio Ancora Bay J:Rory Cleary T:C W J Farrell	J:Rory Cleary T:C W J Farrell	122	t	338260	62	82	65	98d	—	—	+4	6.9	66 2%
