Unlucky in running close fourth here a week ago; potentially big player off same mark

Best form at 6f but recent run suggests this step up in trip worth a go
13 (5)	Poet's Pride Bay J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:David Marnane	J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:David Marnane	119	—	879864	47	85	58	14d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.25/1	14 7%
Fully exposed but C&D fourth to El Bello a fortnight ago was a fair effort; 1lb wrong
7 (7)	Western Cape Bay J:Emmet McNamara T:E McNamara	J:Emmet McNamara T:E McNamara	133	t	445240	62	79	-	103d	—	—	+1	7.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Absent since Galway festival; 2yo maiden form here would give him a shout

Prolific winner here but below best of late and others preferred

Seeking third C&D win within a fortnight; every chance although draw not as favourable

Yet to win obn AW and poor recent effort here doesn't augur well
3 (4)	Kiwi Kiss Brown J:Conor Maxwell T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Maxwell T:Gavin Cromwell	137	t	634000	65	78	68	5d	—	—	+2	5.3	8.00/1	33 3%
Probably needed the run on Irish debut here last Friday, probably best watched for now

C&D third back in April off 52 so not one to rule out despite poor recent form

Claiming winner here a week ago; only second try over this longer trip

Ex Halford/Collins-trained 3yo back from a break and opposable off this mark.

Beaten favourite over C&D last month from front; don't rule out with in-form claimer on

Ran okay in maidens this time last year but hard to fancy on more recent evidence

Now 0-14 and running from 7lb out of handicap here; can't fancy
