This trip with an ease seems to suit him well and only up 3lb for Gowran win; contender
8 (2)	Bang Po Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Ross Osullivan	J:Leigh Roche T:Ross Osullivan	134	—	-09462	64	74	56	9d	—	—	+1	11.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Drop back to this trip not a positive and up 2lb but will contend on that Galway form

Lightly raced and not far behind Es Vedra at Navan; should do better upped in trip here
18 (21)	Tiktok Time Bay J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	124	h	96084	54	76	59	16d	—	—	-7	4.1	1.75/1	8 13%
Shaped at Cork as though stepping up to 7f would suit and one to keep in mind
4 (3)	Es Vedra Bay J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	136	v	9663	66	76	60	29d	—	—	0	9.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%

Scored in stylish fashion at Killarney; could go close off 9lb higher mark
NR (25)	Rhythm King Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Mark Fahey	J:NON-RUNNER T:Mark Fahey	148	—	7-1396	78	77	43	13d	—	—	+1	9.4	2.00/1	9 11%
Ran to new mark when third at Naas but shade disappointing at Galway; rain will help
17 (1)	Cherry Pink Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	124	p	353967	54	79	57	26d	—	—	-3	3.8	2.50/1	11 9%
Best run was when unlucky over this trip at Roscommon in June; cheekpieces tried here
9 (18)	Drop The Dip Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Thomas Gibney	J:Gavin Ryan T:Thomas Gibney	133	—	0-8014	63	74	63	59d	—	—	-3	5.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Drop in trip may well benefit if ridden positively here and could well go close
3 (20)	Bright Dick Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	136	—	235076	66	78	42	9d	—	—	+1	5.8	4.75/1	20 5%
No luck in running over 1m at Galway last time; each-way chance if things fall right
NR (15)	Law Lady Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Thomas Mullins	J:NON-RUNNER T:Thomas Mullins	127	—	6979-8	57	64	44	59d	—	—	-13	7.8	6.75/1	28 4%
Modest enough juvenile form and no real show on her seasonal bow at Leopardstown in June
19 (4)	Snowdonia Song Bay J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	123	p	834408	53	77	60	15d	—	—	-3	3	3.75/1	16 6%
Trio of respectable efforts in Gowran handicaps early in the summer; not discounted
12 (13)	Rough And Tough Grey J:Gary Carroll T:Michael Mulvany	J:Gary Carroll T:Michael Mulvany	133	—	856606	63	76	58	7d	—	—	-1	5	4.75/1	20 5%
Showed some ability in maidens and not disgraced in a 1m handicap at Galway; more needed
2 (22)	Biggerthanbigtime Bay J:Robert Whearty(7) T:Padraig Roche	J:Robert Whearty(7) T:Padraig Roche	144	—	6626-0	74	72	50	13d	—	—	+4	6.8	8.00/1	33 3%
Well beaten on his seasonal bow at Galway but should come on for that; others preferred
15 (14)	Lady Christa Chestnut J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Ms Sheila Lavery	130	—	5-9608	60	78	46	27d	—	—	-1	3.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Disappointing overall; only beat one home behind Ano Manna at Killarney; others preferred
6 (24)	Nyota Bay J:N G McCullagh T:M Halford & T Collins	J:N G McCullagh T:M Halford & T Collins	136	—	0734-	66	75	53	295d	—	—	+4	6.9	8.00/1	33 3%
Probably wants further and best watched after nearly 10 months off but worth watching
11 (16)	Phils Dream Brown J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C Mcconnell	J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C Mcconnell	133	t	650-9	63	50	33	29d	—	—	+1	4	8.00/1	33 3%

10 (8)	Net A Porter Queen Brown J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:Mrs John Harrington	133	—	9-7809	63	78	27	32d	—	—	+1	4	9.75/1	40 3%
Failed to build on initial promise last year, especially in handicaps; others preferred
25 (9)	Goldmoyne Bay J:Sean D Bowen(7) T:Timothy Doyle	J:Sean D Bowen(7) T:Timothy Doyle	119	—	0008	49	70	47	26d	—	—	-2	0.6	9.75/1	40 3%
May be more suited to this trip but others appeal much more; 2lb wrong
20 (19)	Bride Tree Bay J:Danny Sheehy(3) T:Sarah Dawson	J:Danny Sheehy(3) T:Sarah Dawson	122	p	0-9048	52	74	50	20d	—	—	-2	1.3	9.75/1	40 3%
Others more likely here but still quite unexposed and could outrun her likely odds
23 (17)	Benerville Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:T Hogan	J:Siobhan Rutledge(5) T:T Hogan	119	v	00060	49	74	62	16d	—	—	-2	0.6	19.75/1	80 1%
Well beaten when dropped to 6f at Cork last time; back to 7f here in a first-time visor
14 (7)	Trishuli River Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Shane Crawley	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Shane Crawley	132	—	6070	62	66	59	26d	—	—	+2	3.5	16.25/1	66 2%
Not much threat in four runs in maidens; initial mark probably stiff enough
22 (6)	Sunday Evening Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Paul W Flynn	J:Chris Hayes T:Paul W Flynn	120	p	00790	50	75	56	16d	—	—	-1	0.5	24.75/1	100 1%
Drops back in trip here but not much cause for optimism on current evidence
24 (11)	Coach Madden Bay J:Jamie Powell(5) T:David Marnane	J:Jamie Powell(5) T:David Marnane	119	v	67-00	49	61	36	26d	—	—	-1	0.4	24.75/1	100 1%
Has beaten one horse in four outings; first-time visor will need to be transformative
21 (23)	Cruzer Bay J:Cian Horgan(7) T:Paul W Flynn	J:Cian Horgan(7) T:Paul W Flynn	122	t	900-90	52	50	-	16d	—	—	-1	0.9	49.75/1	200 1%
Well beaten on both handicap outings for his current trainer; makes little appeal
