#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (1)	Passionate Chestnut J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	142	—	50-7	63	63	30	19d	—	—	-14	10.7	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Encouraging seasonal return; drop in trip to suit and possible improver on handicap debut
3 (11)	Manhattan Dandy b/br J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Thomas Coyle	J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Thomas Coyle	139	—	8-0613	60	68	58	15d	—	—	-9	6.9	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Recent C&D third considered again but more needed
9 (4)	Cage Rattler Chestnut J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:John Andrew Kinsella	J:Adam Caffrey(5) T:John Andrew Kinsella	127	p	0-0928	48	67	57	18d	—	—	-11	4.4	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Trip too short latest, previous Leopardstown second to Manhattan Dandy reads well
4 (2)	Arthur's Victory Bay J:Colin Keane T:J A Nash	J:Colin Keane T:J A Nash	136	b	07-000	57	76	44	10d	—	—	-6	4.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
No show on recent Flat return; blinkers now fitted and probably wants better ground
8 (10)	Adhuil Bay J:Rebecca Parsons(10) T:Aidan Anthony Howard	J:Rebecca Parsons(10) T:Aidan Anthony Howard	130	b	924-20	51	68	35	10d	—	—	-8	3.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Penultimate second over C&D puts him in the mix
11 (3)	Leviosa Chestnut J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Seamus Fahey	J:Oisin McSweeney(3) T:Seamus Fahey	126	—	29650-	47	73	63	225d	—	—	-5	3.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Absent since September and this trip on the short side
6 (5)	Hope And Innocence Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:T G McCourt	J:James Ryan(5) T:T G McCourt	132	—	600-76	53	75	54	15d	—	—	-4	2.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Bit more encouraging over C&D a fortnight ago but bit to find with a couple of rivals
7 (7)	Scarlet Dancer Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	132	h	3206-0	53	73	65	18d	—	—	-2	1.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Recent Curragh comeback run was poor (slowly away); others preferred
10 (9)	Bellick Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	126	—	00707-	47	70	51	141d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Both turf wins have been over shorter; back from a break and wants better ground
2 (8)	Viva Voce Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Tom McGuinness	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Tom McGuinness	141	—	1868-0	62	70	64	10d	—	—	-1	4.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Never sighted on recent yard debut; entitled to come on for that but still best watched
5 (6)	Esticky End Bay J:Luke McAteer T:Tom McGuinness	J:Luke McAteer T:Tom McGuinness	134	h	90R4-0	55	67	28	10d	—	—	0	1.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Recent Naas comeback run leaves him with plenty to find
