Recent hurdles winner and Curragh second in July over 2m puts him right in the mix
8 (1)	Grappa Nonino Bay J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	128	—	210816	73	90	82	15d	—	—	-1	21.4	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Ground at York plenty quick but taking his racing well and seems sure to be thereabouts
NR (6)	Plains Indian Chestnut J:TBC T:Andrew Slattery	J: T:Andrew Slattery	125	—	3-87	70	92	44	—	—	—	-1	10.2	2.00/1	9 11%
First Flat handicap here off what appears a high enough mark
1 (2)	Prairie Dancer Bay J:Hugh Horgan(7) T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	J:Hugh Horgan(7) T:Joseph Patrick Obrien	140	b	51606/	85	85	-	—	—	—	+7	13.7	2.75/1	12 8%
Out of form this year; marked step up in trip here and others preferred
9 (4)	Takarengo Bay J:Ben Coen T:Thomas Mullins	J:Ben Coen T:Thomas Mullins	126	p	00-534	71	95	72	—	—	—	-1	7.8	2.75/1	12 8%
2021 winner hasn't won since under either code; opposable despite reduced mark
3 (8)	Sheishybrid Bay J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	138	p	15-045	83	87	56	68d	—	—	0	11.6	1.50/1	7 14%
Probably not seen to best effect under hold-up tactics of late; Keane back on now
6 (3)	Marvelosa Bay J:W J Lee T:Richard John Obrien	J:W J Lee T:Richard John Obrien	135	—	134233	80	91	67	14d	—	—	+6	19.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Series of solid runs of late; remains on a competitive mark and should be thereabouts
2 (10)	In From The Cold br/gr J:Jack Kearney(7) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kearney(7) T:Gordon Elliott	139	—	77-310	84	92	49	—	—	—	+6	9.4	6.00/1	25 4%
No show over hurdles latest but not one to rule out back on the level, stays the trip
4 (7)	Vischio Bay J:Mikey Sheehy T:R Donohoe	J:Mikey Sheehy T:R Donohoe	138	—	49-511	83	91	68	—	—	—	+5	9.6	4.25/1	18 6%
Didn't quite get home when fourth in this race last year after setting a steady pace
5 (9)	Female Soldier Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Thomas Mullins	J:Shane Foley T:Thomas Mullins	137	p	774976	82	96	72	14d	—	—	+3	9.9	2.75/1	12 8%
Struggling to make her mark in handicaps albeit some creditable runs; others preferred
