Got the job done last week, another big run likely providing the ground does not turn
NR	Be My Hero Bay J:TBC T:Gordon Elliott	J: T:Gordon Elliott	155	—	7-6285	82	102	86	10d	—	—	-7	14.2	—	—
Fifteen-race maiden stuck to the task well when 5th at Sligo, looks poised to go close
3	Leroy Leroy Bay J:Jody McGarvey T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Jody McGarvey T:John Joseph Hanlon	163	—	P-0365	90	99	81	26d	—	—	-2	15	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Knocking on the door on his recent starts, unlikely to be a pushover here
NR	Portarlington Bay J:TBC T:David Kenneth Budds	J: T:David Kenneth Budds	165	—	097-FF	95	101	-	—	—	—	-15	23.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Hit the deck on last two hurdle starts, although fancied on the latter of those two runs
13	Mullins Cross Bay J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	153	—	-P5P48	80	99	87	7d	—	—	-5	12.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Shaped well at Wexford, not so at Downpatrick and appears to be the stables second-string
8	Magnetic Pulse Bay J:Michael O'Sullivan T:P A Fahy	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:P A Fahy	157	b	00/0P-	84	62	-	—	—	—	+3	10.5	2.50/1	11 9%
Tuned up on the flat here on Thursday but found life difficult, hurdle form also poor
4	Barbaha Queen Bay J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	162	—	9430-7	89	100	69	8d	—	—	-1	14.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Respectable seventh at Kilbeggan on return from a 263-day absence, sharper now, noted
5	Davids Lad Bay J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Conor Odwyer	J:Shane O'Callaghan(7) T:Conor Odwyer	159	—	9890-	86	88	79	290d	—	—	+5	10.6	3.25/1	14 7%
Put firmly in his place on handicap debut at Thurles, needs to have come on a packet
NR	Howsthewoman Bay J:TBC T:John G Carr	J: T:John G Carr	153	t	0-005F	80	91	61	10d	—	—	+2	9.6	2.50/1	11 9%
Consistency not one of her stronger suits and will need a personal best effort
14	Prince Of Air Bay J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	153	tp	83-506	80	100	53	6d	—	—	-8	14.2	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Not a bad run in today's headgear combination (first time) when sixth at Ballinrobe
15	Self Assessed Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Sean Aherne	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Sean Aherne	153	—	75/0/0	80	59	47	7d	—	—	+2	9.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Poor all five starts so far over hurdles, difficult to see him staking a major claim
6	I Am The Sea Bay J:J J Slevin T:P M Cloke	J:J J Slevin T:P M Cloke	159	—	058	89	91	63	37d	—	—	+5	11.5	4.75/1	20 5%
Handicap debutant sent to post a big price all three starts so far over hurdles
NR	The Cooleen Bay J:TBC T:J P Flavin	J: T:J P Flavin	158	—	00-090	88	95	75	8d	—	—	+6	10.8	9.75/1	40 3%
0-6 hurdler and no signs of him improving his record anytime soon on latest evidence
9	No Show Chestnut J:Phillip Enright T:James Joseph Mangan	J:Phillip Enright T:James Joseph Mangan	156	p	0-700	83	97	21	30d	—	—	+5	9.6	4.75/1	20 5%
Pretty much a 'no show' on any of his starts so far over hurdles; weak betting proposition
NR	Ofaolains Glory Bay J:TBC T:N Dooly	J: T:N Dooly	156	—	0-6706	83	101	67	2d	—	—	—	8.3	—	—
