Just one run since July 2023; 0-16 hurdling, he shaped OK on return, but another break
13	Gamigin Bay J:Gavin Brouder(2) T:Noel C Kelly	J:Gavin Brouder(2) T:Noel C Kelly	159	tp	-04391	90	103	96	15d	—	—	+12	25.5	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Won at Ayr, something seemed to click then in the tongue tie and cheekpieces (retained)
8	Gold Haven Chestnut J:Kieren Buckley T:Paul W Flynn	J:Kieren Buckley T:Paul W Flynn	162	b	925-62	93	107	88	16d	—	—	+2	14.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Yard in fine form; so was she when going down fighting at Cork recently; blinkers retained
11	St Denis's Well Chestnut J:Caragh Monaghan(4) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Caragh Monaghan(4) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	161	t	049P-1	92	102	87	37d	—	—	+13	23.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Revelation under this rider for young trainer when scoring well at Navan last month
2	Glenmalure Flyer b/br J:Daire McConville(4) T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Daire McConville(4) T:Henry De Bromhead	166	t	40-66	97	98	42	33d	—	—	+1	16.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Inexperienced rider replaces Rachael Blackmore, who partnered mare so far; 25s last thrice
1	Caoimhes Pet Bay J:Tom Kelly(4) T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	J:Tom Kelly(4) T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	166	—	68-136	97	101	54	35d	—	—	+7	13.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Shade below par last time but well-capable of good run for yard that had good year
18	Joker Du Chenet Brown J:Ben Bromley(2) T:S R B Crawford	J:Ben Bromley(2) T:S R B Crawford	156	t	F4-555	87	95	53	15d	—	—	+2	11.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Well-held at Ayr behind Gamigin, so not sure why he should win this much better race
7	We'llgowats Bay J:Liam McKenna(2) T:Liam G O'Brien	J:Liam McKenna(2) T:Liam G O'Brien	164	t	53-192	95	102	76	39d	—	—	+4	13.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
One of the more reliable and she should get good clip to sit off now; creeping up handicap
19	Be My Hero Bay J:Jake Coen T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jake Coen T:Gordon Elliott	154	—	285283	85	103	76	26d	—	—	+11	15.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Top yard's only runner; 0-19 but each-way chance; may prefer better ground
10	Baltinglass Hill Bay J:Paul Cawley(4) T:P J Rothwell	J:Paul Cawley(4) T:P J Rothwell	161	b	960283	92	102	87	33d	—	—	+13	17.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Stable fine run; two good runs recent months, one over hurdles when second to Caoimhes Pet
R21	Flashthelights Bay J:James Duggan(4) T:Noel C Kelly	J:James Duggan(4) T:Noel C Kelly	150	t	3P-790	81	106	94	198d	—	—	+4	9.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
First reserve; moved from one Ulster yard to another; has ability, so not ruled out
12	Stockdale Grey J:Shane Fenelon(4) T:B R Hamilton	J:Shane Fenelon(4) T:B R Hamilton	161	—	75565/	92	106	-	613d	—	—	+8	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Has shown enough to win one of these but local yard quiet this term and layoff
3	Falvio Bay J:Michael J Molloy(4) T:C A McBratney	J:Michael J Molloy(4) T:C A McBratney	165	p	273-00	96	106	-	37d	—	—	+9	12.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Chance on form earlier this year but not sure what to expect after shocker at Navan latest
20	Leylani b/br J:Cian Walsh(4) T:Mrs Lorna Fowler	J:Cian Walsh(4) T:Mrs Lorna Fowler	153	—	7408-0	84	98	48	85d	—	—	+6	9.3	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Yard respected and, early days, well-bred mare one to keep eye on wagering as has ability
15	Simply Shabra Bay J:Conor Brassil T:Anthony McCann	J:Conor Brassil T:Anthony McCann	158	p	0-P500	89	101	63	38d	—	—	+8	10.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Not easy to make case for 8yo on this year's form
17	Jacenry Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(4) T:D Harvey	J:Patrick M O'Brien(4) T:D Harvey	156	—	00000	87	87	47	17d	—	—	+8	9.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%
A little promise in maidens but probably best watched
6	Moulane West Bay J:Alan King(4) T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Alan King(4) T:Mark Michael McNiff	164	—	060-00	95	98	31	16d	—	—	+10	11.8	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Has not gone on from early promising form; neither run this winter was encouraging
5	Moneynabane Brown J:Ethan O'Sullivan(4) T:Neill McCluskey	J:Ethan O'Sullivan(4) T:Neill McCluskey	164	—	57100P	95	102	73	10d	—	—	+11	13.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Can lead; not sure where Downpatrick win in October came from, three shockers since
14	Lariat Chestnut J:Anna McGuinness(4) T:J J Lambe	J:Anna McGuinness(4) T:J J Lambe	159	—	U-6900	90	106	91	9d	—	—	+9	10.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Just 2-68, maiden cannot be fancied on this year's efforts
NR	Boola Boola Bay J:TBC T:Mrs John Harrington	J: T:Mrs John Harrington	164	t	7979-0	95	101	75	—	—	—	—	11.3	—	—
AW winner in April out of sorts since, including hurdling
NR	Lakomet Of Saints Bay J:TBC T:J P Flavin	J: T:J P Flavin	157	t	98U-40	88	106	72	136d	—	—	—	9.5	—	—
No great shakes but trainer coming a long way (landed gamble with horse here this year)
NR	Prince Quattro Bay J:TBC T:P J Rothwell	J: T:P J Rothwell	150	—	0O6998	81	86	60	75d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
Second reserve; well-held on handicap form, big prices
NR	Wee Jerry Bay J:TBC T:Neill McCluskey	J: T:Neill McCluskey	149	t	P80520	80	102	70	12d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Third reserve; probably needs his own way up front to have any chance, so surely not here
