#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
2	Pats Choice Bay J:Danny Gilligan(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan(5) T:Gordon Elliott	166	b	251431	127	128	93	19d	—	—	+20	40.5	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Will be suited by trip and ground; Gilligan's claim negates rise for Galway win
5	Jody Ted Chestnut J:Mark McDonagh(3) T:Eoin Griffin	J:Mark McDonagh(3) T:Eoin Griffin	164	—	P42F2-	125	135	123	177d	—	—	+9	31.6	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Decent record after a break and will handle ground; plenty of creditable efforts last term
4	Sit Down Lucy Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Peter Fahey	J:Sean Flanagan T:Peter Fahey	165	—	58-30U	126	133	87	57d	—	—	+8	23.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Creditable third in Wexford handicap and not done with when departing two out at Killarney
7	Hope Des Blins Bay J:Danny Mullins T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Danny Mullins T:John Patrick Ryan	155	—	3F0331	116	129	115	25d	—	—	+23	32.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Took her long time to win a beginners' chase which she managed at Sligo; stiffer task
1	Mica Malpic Chestnut J:Mark Walsh T:E Bolger	J:Mark Walsh T:E Bolger	166	—	-73135	127	132	68	29d	—	—	+16	31.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Cheekpieces worn for all wins are missing; goes on soft but doesn't want it this heavy
3	All Those Years Bay J:Simon Torrens T:C Byrnes	J:Simon Torrens T:C Byrnes	165	p	U-964F	126	133	70	57d	—	—	+14	21.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Won over fences here in March; held in handicaps since but handles heavy and not ruled out
6	Battle Of Mirbat Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J Mcdonagh	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J Mcdonagh	156	—	2-5416	117	127	86	19d	—	—	+14	22.8	2.25/1	10 10%
Weakened tamely behind Pat's Choice at Galway but probably needed the run; stays further
