Just denied on recent comeback over C&D; 6lb rise plenty fair and leading player

Progressing nicely and 8lb rise for Limerick win looks fair; definite contender

Highly-tried juvenile last season; potentially well treated now in first handicap

Better chaser; recent hurdle efforts underwhelming but not one to readily rule out
12	Union Park Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:P J Rothwell	J:Sean Flanagan T:P J Rothwell	145	t	F4-615	101	126	-	42d	—	—	+6	15.3	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Progressive chaser of late greatly respected back hurdling off 21lb lower mark
4	Cerberus Chestnut J:Eamonn Fitzgerald(7) T:Augustine Leahy	J:Eamonn Fitzgerald(7) T:Augustine Leahy	160	t	-45298	116	132	116	56d	0W/0P 1 run	—	+15	20.4	3.75/1	16 6%
One-time Grade 3 winner has regressed and hard to be confident in despite reduced mark
1	Whatsavailable Bay J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:M F Morris	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:M F Morris	166	tp	-47923	122	125	52	17d	—	—	+19	26.6	3.75/1	16 6%
Probably has a bit to do here under top-weight
2	Caldwell Diamond Bay J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Kieren Buckley(3) T:Gordon Elliott	161	t	/4108-	117	128	85	306d	—	—	+17	23.5	4.25/1	18 6%
Back from 10 months absence for handicap debut with questions to answer

Modest efforts in handicaps last month; down 6lb for those but still others preferred
7	Pakens Rock Chestnut J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Barry T Murphy	J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Barry T Murphy	158	—	211065	114	120	93	21d	—	—	+18	22	8.00/1	33 3%
Not discredited back hurdling here recently over inadequate 2m; don't rule out

Yet to fire for new yard although return to this trip should suit
