15lb higher than last month but softer ground will suit and he sets a decent standard
3 (10)	Carnegie Hall Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:A P Obrien	J:Seamie Heffernan T:A P Obrien	133	—	442	80	88	61	23d	—	—	0	17.5	7/2 22%
Step up to 6f is likely to suit although potential soft ground is an unknown; contender
4 (1)	West Of Wichita Brown J:Nathan Crosse T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Nathan Crosse T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	130	—	403223	77	87	70	23d	—	—	+4	21.9	10/3 23%
Has gone close; handles any ground, looks fairly handicapped and likely to run her race
9 (5)	Sanshiro Chestnut J:Chris Hayes T:D J Bunyan	J:Chris Hayes T:D J Bunyan	125	—	5042	72	84	57	29d	—	—	+1	14.1	11/2 15%
No match for Jakajaro here last month; 15lb better off today and handles soft
8 (2)	Staysound Susie Bay J:Ben Coen T:Andrew Slattery	J:Ben Coen T:Andrew Slattery	126	—	459	73	81	71	53d	—	—	+1	7.7	12 8%
Soft ground would be a question but certainly an interesting runner in her first handicap
2 (3)	Prince X J Bay J:Colin Keane T:M D Ocallaghan	J:Colin Keane T:M D Ocallaghan	137	—	97108	84	85	63	29d	—	—	+8	15.6	10/1 9%
Well beaten last twice including behind Jakajaro here last month; best watched for now
7 (7)	Guest Star Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Ronan Whelan T:Mrs John Harrington	126	—	099	73	81	73	39d	—	—	+3	7	22 5%
Down the field in three maiden starts and not much chance taken with his opening mark
10 (9)	Duplantis Chestnut J:Leigh Roche T:G M Lyons	J:Leigh Roche T:G M Lyons	119	—	580	66	80	74	31d	—	—	-1	5.9	14 7%
Has failed to show any progress inhis last two runs; others preferred
12 (12)	Velvet Skies Chestnut J:Wesley Joyce(7) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(7) T:Michael Mulvany	119	—	4005	66	79	38	14d	—	—	+2	4.9	28 4%
Modest maiden form; 4lb wrong and does not make much appeal
6 (6)	Excel In Space Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Michael Mulvany	J:Gary Carroll T:Michael Mulvany	127	—	330	74	84	-	99d	—	—	+7	10.4	33 3%
Ran no race on soft at Navan when last seen in May and gelded since; best watched

Well beaten at Down Royal; cheekpieces tried here but needs to find more off this mark
