4-time Newcastle AW winner for Brian Ellison, bought for 7,500gns; interesting contender
3 (1)	Darkened Bay J:Killian Leonard T:Noel C Kelly	J:Killian Leonard T:Noel C Kelly	141	tb	-62431	64	69	45	21d	—	—	+4	22.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Last month's C&D winner just 3lb higher so could go well again
11 (7)	Anjah Bay J:Shane Foley T:H D McGuigan	J:Shane Foley T:H D McGuigan	125	tv	8-4342	48	69	56	21d	—	—	-12	5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Just a neck off Darkened over C&D latest, hanging right closing stages; definite contender
9 (2)	Power Drive Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Paul W Flynn	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Paul W Flynn	128	p	-85757	51	70	60	21d	—	—	-8	3.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Best forcing it and low draw here a positive so could step up on recent form
10 (5)	Miss Heartbreak Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:Luke Comer	J:Declan McDonogh T:Luke Comer	126	—	043-05	49	68	61	21d	—	—	-7	2.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
2.5l off Darkened over C&D latest; could go well if settling better from this lower draw
7 (16)	Humanitarian Bay J:Ben Coen T:R P Burns	J:Ben Coen T:R P Burns	131	ht	0677-5	54	71	56	91d	—	—	-6	3.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Mildly encouraging run on latest but fair bit more needed on first run for new yard
14 (4)	Selective Power Chestnut J:James Ryan(5) T:Thomas Coyle	J:James Ryan(5) T:Thomas Coyle	124	—	73560-	47	73	-	240d	—	—	-7	4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Sole win came here over 7f as a 3yo; absent since last August and may need this
13 (13)	Kartayaz Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	124	—	389-06	47	72	50	17d	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Three C&D wins off higher marks; 1m4f stretched him last month, back to optimum trip here
1 (8)	Jawhary Bay J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian McGuinness	142	—	/90/0-	65	61	-	325d	—	—	0	5.4	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Returns for new yard after 11 months absence off reduced mark and drops in grade
6 (9)	Albion Princess Bay J:W J Lee T:Donal Kinsella	J:W J Lee T:Donal Kinsella	131	ht	0060-0	54	69	41	17d	—	—	-3	2.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Plenty to find on recent form but reduced mark and Billie Lee booked so don't dismiss
12 (15)	Dr Patrick Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Luke Comer	J:Chris Hayes T:Luke Comer	124	—	639-90	47	68	38	17d	—	—	-3	1.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Sole win from 27 runs came over C&D in 2021; recent runs not encouraging
2 (3)	Lohengrin Chestnut J:Seamie Heffernan T:Eamonn O'Connell	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Eamonn O'Connell	142	t	5350-	65	69	28	174d	—	—	+1	7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Ultimately disappointing for Willie Haggas; 1,000gns buy in October
8 (14)	Dromore Glory Chestnut J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Paul W Flynn	J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Paul W Flynn	129	—	49000/	52	66	-	—	—	—	-1	1.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Absent for the guts of two years and seems best watched
4 (12)	Rushford Bay J:Cian Horgan(7) T:Thomas R Hughes	J:Cian Horgan(7) T:Thomas R Hughes	141	—	3/600-	64	67	44	203d	—	—	+3	6.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Trip inadequate on latest; this trip more to his liking but remains opposable
NR (11)	Lauroline Bay J:TBC T:J P Murtagh	J: T:J P Murtagh	142	—	6-3227	65	72	47	28d	—	—	—	3.8	—	—
Placed in three consecutive maidens, has a bit to find judged on handicap debut effort
NR (10)	Cloughaneely Mor Bay J:TBC T:E Sheehy	J: T:E Sheehy	124	t	0/709-	47	54	-	291d	—	—	—	0	—	—
