Improving sort who has two of his three handicap starts, could be in the mix again

Promising fourth in a 21-runner event at Leopardstown on handicap debut, could feature
10	Rusheen Brown J:Danny Mullins T:James Daniel Dullea	J:Danny Mullins T:James Daniel Dullea	159	—	908721	101	111	74	25d	—	—	+18	29.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%

An 8lb rise does not seem unduly harsh for 12l win at Limerick, same claimer aboard

Winner of two of his last three starts, stays well, only five and may keep on improving

Decent fourth in 3m handicap here in November, has failed to reproduce that form
5	From The Ashes Bay J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:C Byrnes	164	p	15-080	106	92	78	53d	—	—	+8	16.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Rated 16lb lower than over fences, interesting that trainer persists despite modest form

Hard to assess on his maiden form. improvement is feasible in his first handicap
11	He's Home Again Bay J:P J O'Hanlon(3) T:Edward Cawley	J:P J O'Hanlon(3) T:Edward Cawley	150	t	03-86P	92	108	59	52d	—	0W/1P 2 runs	+8	11.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Fair sixth at Down Royal in November, needs to rebound from disappointing Limerick run
