Last month's C&D winner up 5lb but remains in this grade so respected from a good draw
8 (11)	Mosaaheb Chestnut J:Gavin Ryan T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Gavin Ryan T:John Joseph Hanlon	132	p	744-43	55	76	54	40d	—	—	-5	3.8	2.25/1	10 10%
Best form here has been at 1m4f, not sure this return to shorter trip will suit
4 (8)	Bright N Shine Bay J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Terence O'Brien	J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:Terence O'Brien	134	t	249228	60	69	32	23d	—	—	-2	12.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Stamina test too much on latest so not one to rule out back in trip on better ground
7 (1)	Doctor Grace Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Ronan Whelan T:M Halford & T Collins	132	p	316084	58	69	50	47d	—	—	-9	9.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Good C&D fourth last time gives him claims; cheekpieces tried
NR (9)	Clever Capall Bay J:TBC T:Andrew Slattery	J: T:Andrew Slattery	124	—	0-6024	47	74	61	266d	—	—	-8	3.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Narrowly denied over C&D back in February; long-absent so may need this; reserve
12 (17)	Evening Verse Chestnut J:Ben Coen T:Miss Hilary McLoughlin	J:Ben Coen T:Miss Hilary McLoughlin	128	p	440467	51	75	69	84d	—	—	-6	2.6	2.50/1	11 9%
C&D winner last year who needs to improve on this year's turf form; wide draw a negative
6 (4)	Albatala Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	132	t	60-002	55	72	-	27d	—	—	-5	3.5	2.75/1	12 8%
Curragh second; interesting if she can transfer that form to AW here from a good draw
14 (3)	Curzon Queen Bay J:Mikey Sheehy T:Kieran P Cotter	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Kieran P Cotter	123	—	800983	49	70	43	26d	—	—	-1	4.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Recent C&D third to Neverfindanother U; good draw and could give another bold show
11 (12)	Bigz Belief Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Matthew J Smith	J:Gary Carroll T:Matthew J Smith	129	t	653069	52	71	-	21d	—	—	-4	3.6	2.50/1	11 9%

Three-time C&D winner below best on turf but can't be ruled out given his record here
5 (5)	Mysterious Maestro Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Thomas Cleary	J:Robbie Colgan T:Thomas Cleary	134	tb	796731	60	64	52	20d	—	—	+12	15.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Recent Chelmsford winner not fully proven at this trip but can't rule out
NR (10)	Shining Aitch Grey J:TBC T:T G McCourt	J: T:T G McCourt	131	t	654009	54	75	46	26d	—	—	-8	4.7	6.75/1	28 4%
Dual AW winner in Britain on a long losing run and plenty to find on last month's C&D run

Struggled despite much reduced turf mark this year; 12lb higher AW mark so has it to do
13 (2)	Crystal Pool Bay J:Wayne Hassett(7) T:Patrick Martin	J:Wayne Hassett(7) T:Patrick Martin	124	t	70-000	47	74	-	91d	—	—	-3	1	8.00/1	33 3%
Back with original trainer may spark a revival; 4lb wrong but rider's claim negates that
NR (13)	Sceptred Isle Bay J:TBC T:John G Carr	J: T:John G Carr	124	—	0780-9	47	72	-	—	—	—	-20	8.6	9.75/1	40 3%
Hard to fancy on just third AW start and from 2lb out of handicap; reserve
