Unlucky at this venue last time; improving sort and could be a hard one to beat here
3	Heliko Conti b J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:Paul Nolan	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:Paul Nolan	161	p	9-4722	118	128	111	31d	—	—	+5	22	4/1 20%
Good run at Leopardstown; trip should be ideal and he looks like playing a strong hand
7	American Money b J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	154	—	P-0251	111	121	78	16d	—	—	+7	18.6	6/1 14%
Up 7lb for latest win but becoming a consistent horse and will be thereabouts at his best
9	Upping The Anti b J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	154	t	F-0F7F	111	125	-	32d	—	—	+10	17.2	12/1 8%
26lb lower mark over hurdles brings him into play although Blackmore prefers Miss Tempo
4	Miss Tempo b J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	160	—	1-1P57	117	130	61	42d	—	—	+18	26	12/1 8%
Soundly beaten last twice but Blackmore prefers her to Upping The Anti; not dismissed
14	Rockbrook b J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	140	—	0-2269	97	129	101	31d	—	—	+6	14.1	10/1 9%
Below her best last twice and might just be best watched for now; 1lb wrong
8	Arabian King ch J:Tom Harney(7) T:Cian Collins	J:Tom Harney(7) T:Cian Collins	154	t	-68750	111	129	106	72d	—	—	+10	17.4	12/1 8%
Hard to assess and a market watch might prove the best guide back in trip
5	Big Debates ch J:Phillip Enright T:Robert Tyner	J:Phillip Enright T:Robert Tyner	157	—	-0002F	114	128	98	31d	—	—	+12	20.4	10/1 9%
Considerably better treated over hurdles; others preferred but has an each-way chance
10	Millstream Lady gr J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	152	—	-011P2	109	130	92	33d	—	—	+22	28.3	12/1 8%
Up another 4lb for Limerick defeat but clearly in form and unlikely to be far away
6	Quest With Speed b J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Shane Fenelon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	156	—	46-177	113	132	116	32d	—	—	+13	16.8	18/1 5%
Well beaten but did not run badly in a pair of handicaps last twice; more needed here
2	Champion Green b J:Aidan Kelly(5) T:Padraig Roche	J:Aidan Kelly(5) T:Padraig Roche	161	h	10/F-0	118	108	35	57d	—	—	+14	18.1	18/1 5%
Probably ran better than his finishing position at Fairyhouse last month; more needed here
13	Dragon's Pass b J:Sam Ewing T:Mrs Denise Foster	J:Sam Ewing T:Mrs Denise Foster	146	—	242178	103	125	113	47d	—	—	+17	20.7	25/1 4%
Well beaten off this mark since winning at Thurles and others look more likely
1	Freedom To Dream b J:Eamonn Fitzgerald(7) T:Peter Fahey	J:Eamonn Fitzgerald(7) T:Peter Fahey	166	b	P0-7P0	123	105	17	63d	—	—	+16	19	28/1 3%
Down to a workable mark at his best and blinkers are tried but hard to fancy at the moment
12	Welsh Saint b J:A P Heskin T:C A McBratney	J:A P Heskin T:C A McBratney	148	p	5P-600	105	120	25	43d	—	—	+13	14.1	100/1 1%
Losing run since 2020 and shown nothing this season; trip probably too short for him
