#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (4)	Old Peculier Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Mark Fahey	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Mark Fahey	145	b	7521-1	73	67	40	4d	—	—	-13	29.9	0.23/1	10/11 52%
Has come good in recent months and now bids to complete a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty
5 (10)	Comfort Line Grey J:Cian MacRedmond T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Cian MacRedmond T:Adrian McGuinness	139	v	72411-	67	75	61	32d	—	—	+12	27.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Raised an aggregate 9lb for two C&D wins, still on a mark that gives him strong prospects
3 (5)	Rio Largo Bay J:Oisin McSweeney T:Luke Comer	J:Oisin McSweeney T:Luke Comer	140	—	77080-	68	72	65	41d	—	—	-2	6.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Two wins on turf over 7f; makes little appeal based on his last two starts at this track
6 (9)	Cyber Attack Bay J:Robert Whearty T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Robert Whearty T:Gavin Cromwell	138	—	/8965-	66	74	-	204d	—	—	-2	6.1	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Given an initial handicap mark of 81, now down to 66, should not be ruled out
7 (6)	Doctor Grace Bay J:Rory Mulligan(7) T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Rory Mulligan(7) T:M Halford & T Collins	136	b	44137-	64	74	53	34d	—	—	+6	12.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Two wins at this venue, third on penultimate start, seventh behind Old Peculier last time
8 (11)	Rhodesia Bay J:Paddy Harnett T:Miss Natalia Lupini	J:Paddy Harnett T:Miss Natalia Lupini	136	—	9/78-	64	72	-	172d	—	—	-2	5.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Lightly raced filly, AW/handicap debut, absent since last July but worth a market check
9 (1)	Arthur's Victory Bay J:James Ryan T:J A Nash	J:James Ryan T:J A Nash	134	p	6707-0	62	72	47	4d	—	—	-2	4.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Generally disappointing for this stable including when down the field here last Friday
2 (2)	Superior Force Grey J:Jake Coen T:Adrian Murray	J:Jake Coen T:Adrian Murray	142	—	0/470-	70	73	38	25d	—	—	0	6.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Won twice on turf for George Boughey, well below his best here last month after a break
11 (3)	Ha Long Bay Chestnut J:Wesley Joyce T:R P Burns	J:Wesley Joyce T:R P Burns	120	—	06977-	48	74	56	55d	—	—	-3	1.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Rated two stone higher at best, hard to be confident, but perhaps unwise to write him off
4 (7)	Wrecking Ball Paul Bay J:Calum Hogan(7) T:Paul Mulligan	J:Calum Hogan(7) T:Paul Mulligan	140	—	65700-	68	72	11	27d	—	—	+2	5.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Won a handicap hurdle last summer, each-way chance if reproducing his best AW form
10 (8)	Phil's Dream Brown J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:John C McConnell	J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:John C McConnell	126	tv	0/900-	54	69	30	32d	—	—	-1	1.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Well-fancied last month on AW debut, posed no threat in finishing tenth of 12 in 6f event
