Beat Eruption at Navan two weeks ago; 6lb rise looks fair and should go close once more

Won a Cork handicap over five a week ago; up 6lb for that but unlikely to be far away

Up 14lb since the start of the season but likely to be a contender once more

Challenge faded late when a close fourth to Keke and Eruption at Navan; should go well
9 (2)	Marble Angel b J:Nathan Crosse T:A Oliver	J:Nathan Crosse T:A Oliver	121	—	5-376	56	90	70	13d	—	—	-4	3.4	12/1 8%
Good run at Navan; could improve over an extra furlong but well worth another go over five
3 (9)	Rathbranchurch ch J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Michael Mulvany	139	—	578325	74	81	64	7d	—	—	+3	14.3	15/2 12%
Could be interesting over this fast five but others look more likely
10 (11)	Havana Notion gr J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:John James Feane	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:John James Feane	120	—	689397	55	84	65	7d	—	—	-2	4.7	12/1 8%
Dual winner and while he has a chance at his best, others have more convincing claims
8 (7)	Realtin Fantasy b J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:W P Browne	J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:W P Browne	122	—	610-83	57	80	71	13d	—	—	-3	3.5	14/1 7%
Will be well suited by this faster five and no surprise if she went very close

Down another 1lb and a case can be made but one or two others look more likely
5 (3)	Tamazu b J:Killian Leonard T:Fergal Birrane	J:Killian Leonard T:Fergal Birrane	133	t	62004-	68	89	77	196d	—	—	+2	7.4	18/1 5%
Decent fourth in a Dundalk handicap in December when last seen but others preferred

Winner in Britain but little form to speak of in Ireland; makes little appeal; 6lb wrong
