1	Magical Zoe Bay J:A P Heskin T:Henry De Bromhead	J:A P Heskin T:Henry De Bromhead	161	—	/1125-	136	145	124	173d	—	—	+2	48.4	0.23/1	10/11 52%
Useful bumper winner; smart novice last season, excused Fairyhouse performance; can win
6	Say Goodbye Brown J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	151	t	2P/11-	-	147	-	490d	—	—	-7	2.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Off since May 2022, so somewhat risky, and had been chasing (classy form); note market
2	Anna Bunina Bay J:Ben Harvey T:John C Mcconnell	J:Ben Harvey T:John C Mcconnell	158	t	2932-6	142	154	131	138d	—	—	+10	28.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
This mark justified so should win; main concern is proper deep ground which will not suit
3	Hidden Land Chestnut J:Sean Flanagan T:Andrew Kinirons	J:Sean Flanagan T:Andrew Kinirons	151	h	420F7-	-	147	-	—	—	—	-2	1.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Winning hurdler, won lately Flat; needs others to under-perform, which she likely will too
4	Lady Of The Vale Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:Andrew Slattery	J:J J Slevin T:Andrew Slattery	151	—	252P41	114	139	110	30d	—	—	+22	28.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Deserved recent Bellewstown win; all wins on good (to yielding) and probably vulnerable
7	Air Drop Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	147	—	-42521	-	134	117	28d	—	—	+10	17.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Only ran on yielding or better; found plenty to beat subsequent winner at Down Royal
5	Natural Look Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Declan Queally	J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Declan Queally	151	—	0123F2	114	129	118	2d	—	—	+21	26.6	2.75/1	12 8%
Very consistent recent months; another whose wins came good (to yielding); hard to fancy
