Won easily over 2m7f at Thurles and the 6lb rise could have been worse
4	Themanintheboots Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	164	p	P1143-	111	125	86	23d	—	—	+21	27.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
2m4f/3m handicap winner; below par here latest but that was after a lengthy break
11	Ranger Billy Bay J:Michael O'Sullivan T:Eoin Doyle	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:Eoin Doyle	143	—	1524P-	90	124	78	239d	—	—	+9	14.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%

Lightly raced since his course win in 2022 but possibilities if seeing out the trip

Quiet handicap debut but over 2m3f; raised to 3m and has a pointing background

Insufficient promise in his maidens (1m7f-3m) to be overly enthusiastic on handicap debut
NR	Meyo Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	164	—	5610-	111	116	57	83d	—	—	—	22.3	—	—

Pulled up chasing last time; capable hurdler for him drying ground would be a plus
NR	Walkonthebriteside Bay J:Daniel King T:John C McConnell	J:Daniel King T:John C McConnell	142	t	89700-	89	104	88	22d	—	—	—	9.8	—	—
No closer than 25l in his six runs; 3m could suit as there's stamina in his pedigree
NR	True Or False Bay J:TBC T:D McNamara	J: T:D McNamara	140	—	58950-	87	101	77	158d	—	—	—	9.3	—	—
