Career-best when winning over C&D in July off 95; another high required off this mark

Unexposed and open to improvement though market likely best guide after 9 months off
11	Young Fitzy Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Norman Lee	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Norman Lee	153	t	664-66	93	117	81	18d	—	—	+4	13.3	1.75/1	8 13%
Handicapper relenting but still others preferred
1	Itsallabouteve Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Brendan Maurice Walsh	J:Phillip Enright T:Brendan Maurice Walsh	168	—	240-6P	108	117	63	149d	—	—	+8	17.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Best form here and likes soft/heavy; back from summer off and can't be ruled out
13	Go Gill Go Bay J:Conor Clarke(7) T:James Grace	J:Conor Clarke(7) T:James Grace	148	t	053-97	88	115	86	26d	—	—	+2	12.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Better for last month's comeback run but still hard to see her playing a major role
7	Cosmic Rock Bay J:Tom Kelly(7) T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J:Tom Kelly(7) T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	159	—	61/81/	99	113	-	756d	—	—	+8	13.9	3.25/1	14 7%
Fragile sort won two of three starts in 2021; ground to suit and runs well fresh
5	Derridae Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Moses Mccabe	J:Jordan Gainford T:Moses Mccabe	161	p	122P-9	101	117	108	10d	—	—	+8	14.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Tailed off on last week's Punchestown comeback and hard to see her featuring here
10	Everystep Oftheway Bay J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Oliver Mckiernan	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Oliver Mckiernan	153	—	0703-8	93	115	100	172d	—	—	+4	13.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Absent since May but not one to rule out off this mark on prior Naas third

Opening two handicap efforts this time last year leave him with plenty to find
2	Spring Meadow Bay J:Ryan Treacy T:E Mcnamara	J:Ryan Treacy T:E Mcnamara	167	t	3P44-0	107	116	91	33d	—	—	+8	16.5	2.25/1	10 10%
Hard to know what to make of him at the moment but yard's runners always respected here
15	Ventnor Bay J:Kieran Callaghan(5) T:James M Barcoe	J:Kieran Callaghan(5) T:James M Barcoe	140	—	9630-P	80	113	91	163d	—	—	+4	8.7	5.25/1	22 5%
Bits and pieces of form on soft so no forlorn hope

Major improvement needed on only previous handicap hurdle attempt but has time on his side
8	Dark Image Bay J:Richard Deegan T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	J:Richard Deegan T:Eoin Christopher Mccarthy	157	t	45O888	97	105	80	20d	—	—	+8	13.1	3.75/1	16 6%
Could have more to offer now entering handicaps but others preferred here
12	Black Vega Bay J:Mr P W Gleeson(7) T:John F Gleeson	J:Mr P W Gleeson(7) T:John F Gleeson	148	t	0900	89	11	36	28d	—	—	+7	11	5.50/1	22/1 4%
4yo has yet to make much of an impression; tongue tie fitted for handicap debut
14	Fly De Megaudais Brown J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J Mcdonagh	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J Mcdonagh	140	p	3PPP46	80	69	-	23d	—	—	+5	8.3	6.75/1	28 4%
Quite some time since he last won and would be a surprise winner
