Dual winner here has run well the last twice and a solid chance off the same mark
5	Quest With Speed Bay J:Miss Fern O'Brien(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Miss Fern O'Brien(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	166	—	046-17	114	122	106	31d	—	—	+3	21.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Won a maiden hurdle here but disappointing in a handicap five days later; has to step up
12	Cosmic Rock Bay J:Miss J Townend T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	J:Miss J Townend T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	150	t	/81/55	98	108	91	36d	—	—	-1	17.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Course winner an eyecatcher on return but a poor run since; can do better under top rider
8	From The Ashes Bay J:Miss A L Fitzgibbon(7) T:C Byrnes	J:Miss A L Fitzgibbon(7) T:C Byrnes	160	—	515-08	108	115	82	34d	—	—	+7	17.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Well beaten in two hurdle starts lately but is surely capable of much better off this mark

Showed ability in bumpers; hasn't matched that in three maiden hurdles but is of interest
4	Ardera Ru Bay J:Miss Charlotte Butler(7) T:Eoin Doyle	J:Miss Charlotte Butler(7) T:Eoin Doyle	166	tp	12-164	114	115	-	27d	—	—	+11	17.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
In mostly good form over fences lately but hasn't much in hand off this hurdles mark
2	Young Dev Grey J:Ms H Phillips(7) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Ms H Phillips(7) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	170	—	00818-	118	118	56	347d	—	—	+20	25.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%

Has dropped plenty in the handicap so could go well if ready enough after his absence
7	Friends N Commerce Bay J:Miss L Costello(7) T:Patrick G Kelly	J:Miss L Costello(7) T:Patrick G Kelly	161	—	-48540	109	121	-	10d	—	—	+11	16.1	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Poor on handicap chase debut last time but could bounce back reverting to hurdles
1	Farmix b/br J:Miss E Cody(4) T:Liz Doyle	J:Miss E Cody(4) T:Liz Doyle	171	—	1/141/	119	118	-	1046d	—	—	+21	25.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%

Poor the last twice; however, could show up better now tackling handicaps, so considered
11	All Walks Of Life Bay J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:Michael Hourigan	J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:Michael Hourigan	151	p	98-9P9	99	116	69	89d	—	—	+10	13	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Disappointing since tackling handicaps; cheekpieces replace the hood; capable of better
13	Costaweefortune Chestnut J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Charles Coakley	J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Charles Coakley	140	—	40-707	88	105	51	36d	—	—	+8	10.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
