#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
5	Cest Quelquun Black J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	166	—	P15-22	92	107	-	22d	—	—	-12	20.5	0.41/1	13/8 38%
Two seconds of late; lacks a gear and 1-11 chasing (three falls) but again hard to oppose
6	Rule Of June Bay J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Liam Casey	J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Liam Casey	164	—	0-352P	90	103	28	59d	—	—	+3	12.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Met an improver at Clonmel; saddle reportedly slipped latest; rider making fine impression
NR	Lesssaidthebetter Bay J:TBC T:P J Rothwell	J: T:P J Rothwell	146	p	3-4379	72	97	75	5d	—	—	+1	10.2	2.75/1	12 8%
First reserve; safely held recent months
4	Elegant Dan Chestnut J:Sean Flanagan T:David M Obrien	J:Sean Flanagan T:David M Obrien	167	p	0-016F	93	98	53	45d	—	—	+5	12.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
C&D winner here in June (three of these well held); that was weak race and vulnerable now
NR	Corrigaleen Brown J:TBC T:E Sheehy	J: T:E Sheehy	148	tp	7P-66P	74	95	37	1d	—	—	+2	7.7	3.75/1	16 6%
Declared 7.49 here last evening; struggled in sixth last twice
NR	Punters Poet Bay J:TBC T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J: T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	167	tp	8-0458	93	105	62	28d	—	—	+4	13.5	3.75/1	16 6%
Third reserve; 2-21 hurdling, 0-4 chasing, some promise; back in trip should help.
3	Sean Says Bay J:Ms S Verling(7) T:Rodger Sweeney	J:Ms S Verling(7) T:Rodger Sweeney	168	p	44-53U	94	102	70	—	—	—	+7	12.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Mixing it between chasing and Flat; running quite well without crying out for a bet here
R18	Father Jed Bay J:Philip Donovan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Philip Donovan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	157	—	00-001	83	104	-	24d	—	—	+2	10.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Second reserve; won hurdling from out of the blue at Ballinrobe; no idea what to expect
11	Shantou Sisu Chestnut J:Danny Mullins T:W J Lanigan	J:Danny Mullins T:W J Lanigan	156	—	-99439	82	106	66	28d	—	—	+4	12.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Veteran in and out, poor behind Elegant Dan here in June, though course winner in the past
1	Chelseas Friend Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:James Joseph Mangan	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:James Joseph Mangan	168	tp	2P-400	94	-	-	35d	—	—	+7	12.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Obvious chance on seconds on nice ground in February; poor since, including chasing
NR	Kilashee Bay J:TBC T:John Patrick Ryan	J: T:John Patrick Ryan	162	—	UR0U6-	88	-	-	301d	—	—	+6	10.8	9.75/1	40 3%
Both wins around this time of year hurdling in 2021; nothing chasing so far and no appeal
9	Shean Glory Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Sean Aherne	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Sean Aherne	159	—	056-P8	85	91	-	5d	—	—	+4	10.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Mare 2-34, 0-2 chasing; worth recalling C&D visit was encouraging; not entirely ruled out
13	General Ryan Bay J:Ciaran O'Shea(7) T:G Ahern	J:Ciaran O'Shea(7) T:G Ahern	155	p	98-3UU	81	101	82	45d	—	—	+4	9.1	4.25/1	18 6%
Far from disgraced, Downpatrick in May; seemed to be going OK both runs since (unseating)
15	Tiantu Brown J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:Paul Power	J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:Paul Power	149	tb	468-PP	75	-	-	76d	—	—	+2	7.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Local runner seemed to regress recent years; C&D winner nowhere near that form this year
8	Pepperocco Chestnut J:Keith Donoghue T:Ross Osullivan	J:Keith Donoghue T:Ross Osullivan	162	t	580-38	88	99	43	45d	—	—	+6	10.9	6.00/1	25 4%
Stable form the main positive; she has shown little ability but a great deal more required
2	Ciankyle Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:P Cluskey	J:Donagh Meyler T:P Cluskey	168	—	9-6267	94	87	13	29d	—	—	+7	12.4	4.75/1	20 5%
Veteran unable to build on Ballinrobe second in May hurdling, not disgraced at 22s latest
12	Deux Par Deux Bay J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Denise Foster	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Mrs Denise Foster	155	—	P80-P8	81	61	-	45d	—	—	+3	9.7	5.25/1	22 5%
Nearly impossible to fancy hold-up 9yo
14	The Inbetween Bay J:J J Slevin T:R P Rath	J:J J Slevin T:R P Rath	151	—	P/R0-0	77	63	-	59d	—	—	+5	7.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Lightly raced recent years; nothing positive to report
10	Gold Creek Bay J:Phillip Enright T:S Curling	J:Phillip Enright T:S Curling	156	tb	PP-PUP	82	-	24	11d	—	—	+6	8.7	16.25/1	66 2%
Nothing to take from this year's succession of letters in form; tongue tie and blinkers
