Highly progressive last year, back on song with a cracking fourth at Punchestown, feared

Shaped nicely on recent return and extra yardage could suit this former maiden winner
14	Junior Rattler Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	145	tp	222P-1	112	138	93	18d	—	—	+19	28	1.88/1	15/2 12%

A 3m winner in good order when last seen out in December, goes well fresh, a lively one

Handy sort when he gets his favoured good ground (3 wins) but a touch vulnerable
11	Linden Arden Bay J:Brian Hayes T:Michael J Bowe	J:Brian Hayes T:Michael J Bowe	149	—	1385-6	116	139	114	14d	—	—	+14	17.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Looked a little rusty at Kilbeggan 10-days ago, capable but might need another run to peak
7	Cato's Revenge Bay J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	151	p	13U90-	118	137	86	23d	—	—	+18	19.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
