Raised 11lb for Naas win over 2m4f, test of stamina could bring about more improvement

Progressing along the right lines until dropped in distance last time, this should suit
3	Paul Marvel gr J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	165	—	3-4542	126	129	80	19d	—	—	+10	25.5	5/1 17%
Second to a Paul Townend-ridden stablemate at Leopardstown, good chance for champion now

Two disappointing handicap displays, possible excuse both times, premature to write off

Drop to 2m4f may not have been ideal last time after two wins over further, should stay
4	Clonmeen ch J:Simon Torrens T:William P Murphy	J:Simon Torrens T:William P Murphy	162	t	P82113	123	129	93	34d	—	—	+29	36.9	10/1 9%
Up 18lb aggregate for two wins, third over a longer trip on latest, could be in the mix
10	Brucejack b J:Michael O'Sullivan T:P A Fahy	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:P A Fahy	145	—	-P4842	106	133	103	18d	—	—	+13	20.8	11/1 8%
Second in an ordinary contest at Thurles last time, this looks demanding on handicap debut
2	Folcano b J:Danny Gilligan(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan(5) T:Gordon Elliott	166	p	0/347-	127	133	-	483d	—	—	+15	20.9	20/1 5%
First two 2022 chase attempts were respectable, below best on third run, absent since

Badly hampered two out when 13l second of four finishers at Limerick in his first handicap

Fair hurdles run last time, only 2lb out of the handicap but hard to make a strong case
