Bellewstown second a seasonal-best; sure to be thereabouts
12 (8)	Morning Approach Bay J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	J:W J Lee T:W Mccreery	131	—	496372	64	82	67	27d	—	—	+3	12.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Hold-up performer probably not the easiest of rides but on a nice mark and could go well
3 (12)	Mulgrave Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh(7) T:John C Mcconnell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(7) T:John C Mcconnell	138	ht	115000	71	85	33	13d	—	—	-3	11.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Terrific AW form early this year not transferred to turf; down 11lb
8 (1)	Mere Accountant Bay J:Wesley Joyce(7) T:J P Murtagh	J:Wesley Joyce(7) T:J P Murtagh	136	—	494843	74	83	54	15d	—	—	-1	13	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Recent Bellewstown third was arguably a seasonal best; could go well from a low draw
11 (11)	Perfect Poise Bay J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	133	—	-58302	71	88	49	13d	—	—	+2	15.8	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Just failed to get up in Navan handicap over this trip last month; major player
5 (7)	Akmaam Brown J:Donagh O'Connor T:J F Levins	J:Donagh O'Connor T:J F Levins	136	—	476540	69	82	69	13d	—	—	+1	6.4	2.75/1	12 8%
Recent Newcastle run modest, definite claims on previous close Curragh fourth at this trip
7 (14)	Kodiac Prince Bay J:Rory Cleary T:Thomas Cleary	J:Rory Cleary T:Thomas Cleary	136	p	370000	69	86	61	17d	—	—	+1	6.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Back at probably his best trip here so don't rule out; draw not great
10 (9)	Solar Breeze Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	134	—	5-1609	67	86	51	13d	—	—	+1	5.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Plenty to find on two runs this summer despite reduced mark
NR (10)	Ha Long Bay Chestnut J:TBC T:R P Burns	J: T:R P Burns	125	b	600-06	58	86	63	20d	—	—	-16	9.8	6.00/1	25 4%
Yet to feature in two starts for yard, blinkers tried; reserve

Weakened quite tamely on turf return at the Curragh last month and hard to fancy; reserve
14 (2)	Darkdeserthighway Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:M D Ocallaghan	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:M D Ocallaghan	129	b	202-08	62	81	59	110d	—	—	-2	4.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Absent since two runs back in May when not beaten far; 5lb lower so can't be ruled out
1 (5)	Church Mountain Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Ross Osullivan	J:J M Sheridan T:Ross Osullivan	142	t	0-7197	75	83	61	25d	—	—	+2	8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Hasn't stayed 1m2f of late; back at optimum trip for new yard and not one to rule out

Better on AW: tame turf return at Leopardstown raises questions and tried in cheekpieces
6 (3)	Exquisite Acclaim Bay J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Adrian Mcguinness	J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Adrian Mcguinness	136	v	640838	69	87	64	13d	—	—	+2	8.6	2.75/1	12 8%
AW winner is now 0-15 on turf and remains opposable off this mark

Out of form although excuses at Clonmel last week so wouldn't be one to readily rule out
2 (16)	Wild Mountain Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:J J Lambe	J:Gavin Ryan T:J J Lambe	139	—	/3P-00	72	82	12	29d	—	—	+4	5.9	24.75/1	100 1%
