Fairyhouse comeback third to Duffys Getaway augurs well; each-way claims
7	Kiln Time Bay J:Brian Hayes T:Michael J Bowe	J:Brian Hayes T:Michael J Bowe	160	—	00/212	94	106	60	14d	—	—	+3	14.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Fine form since returning from long absence; 9lb higher but could find more returned to 3m

Last month's Thurles comeback not without promise and should come on for it
3	No Fussing Bay J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	167	—	044753	101	108	76	54d	—	—	+9	18.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Thurles run suggests she has good chance of seeing this trip out and one to consider
10	Sarah's Soldier Bay J:Richard Condon(5) T:P A Fahy	J:Richard Condon(5) T:P A Fahy	156	—	P63066	90	107	57	26d	—	—	+5	13.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%

Bit too fresh on Limerick return so not one to rule out with rider's claim a positive
17	Elle Dorado Rock Bay J:Phillip Enright T:A J Martin	J:Phillip Enright T:A J Martin	153	t	0098P-	87	101	72	—	—	—	+4	11.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Modest maiden under both codes; likely to need this comeback run
4	Storm Mahler Chestnut J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	167	—	13-106	101	101	35	47d	—	—	+8	14.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%

9	Merry Moves b/br J:Ben Harvey(3) T:Mrs Grainne M O'Connor	J:Ben Harvey(3) T:Mrs Grainne M O'Connor	157	tp	67-003	91	107	57	18d	—	—	+7	11.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Recent Fairyhouse third over this trip encouraging; one to consider
12	Spice Diva Bay J:Mr S Connor(7) T:S R B Crawford	J:Mr S Connor(7) T:S R B Crawford	155	—	1-535U	89	105	67	32d	—	—	+13	18.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Wasn't out of it when unseating three out on handicap debut so not one to readily rule out
18	Our Jervis Brown J:Jody McGarvey T:Noel C Kelly	J:Jody McGarvey T:Noel C Kelly	153	t	8-05P0	87	103	32	32d	—	—	+5	10.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Entitled to come on from recent comeback run but still opposable
1	Tom Kelly Bay J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:Mrs Jayne Hearne	J:Liam Quinlan(5) T:Mrs Jayne Hearne	168	—	P-3447	102	106	80	40d	—	—	+11	13.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Bits and pieces of form but doesn't appeal as likely to make immediate impact in handicaps
22	Oldtown To Emly Bay J:Tom Kelly(7) T:K A Heffernan	J:Tom Kelly(7) T:K A Heffernan	146	—	67P074	80	97	61	21d	—	—	+5	8.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
More encouraging over this trip at Limerick latest, more needed though; reserve

Gowran second a big improvement but 3m here could test her stamina
15	I'm For Home Chestnut J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:R K Watson	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:R K Watson	154	—	700-88	88	103	26	32d	—	—	+7	10.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Two handicap efforts suggest he remains opposable
19	Seangoell Bay J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Norman Lee	J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Norman Lee	153	tp	75864-	87	107	70	250d	—	—	+7	10	7.00/1	28/1 3%

5	Ounce Of Gold Bay J:Sarah Kavanagh(7) T:P A Fahy	J:Sarah Kavanagh(7) T:P A Fahy	166	—	0-852P	100	104	67	88d	—	—	+10	13.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
C&D second in June but lifeless run afterwards at Ballinrobe raises doubts
6	Colleen Danu Bay J:Tom Harney(7) T:P A Fahy	J:Tom Harney(7) T:P A Fahy	165	—	-35200	99	99	57	19d	—	—	+13	16.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Dropped out quickly in first-time blinkers at Thurles; headgear left off for handicap bow
13	True Or False Bay J:Mark McDonagh(3) T:D McNamara	J:Mark McDonagh(3) T:D McNamara	155	p	-35895	89	86	69	12d	—	—	+8	11.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Back up in trip for handicap debut but others preferred

Wexford run encouraging; could have more to offer upped in trip here on handicap debut
20	Wanchu Bach Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Padraig Roche	J:Donagh Meyler T:Padraig Roche	151	—	8/3P0/	85	103	-	686d	—	—	+7	9.2	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Back from another long absence for third trainer and can only be watched
NR	Made In The Woods Brown J:TBC T:Norman Lee	J: T:Norman Lee	146	h	2147-0	80	104	-	47d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Back hurdling here off 15lb lower mark so warrants respect if getting a run; reserve
NR	Military Hill Bay J:TBC T:R K Watson	J: T:R K Watson	146	—	-9056U	80	106	45	32d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
