C&D maiden winner; unexposed and could well have plenty to offer off this sort of mark

Best run this year when second in a 7f premier handicap at Cork; interesting back in trip
5 (4)	Heavenly Power Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:Edward Lynam	J:James Ryan(5) T:Edward Lynam	132	—	813-06	87	105	79	36d	—	—	+3	11.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%

100-1 winner here latest; up 6lb for that and should be a leading contender once more

Debuts for Fozzy Stack here; worth a market check but probably best watched

Good second at Fairyhouse; 8lb lower than when winning over C&D last year; interesting
15 (9)	Tai Tam Bay Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Nathan Crosse T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	119	—	44-130	81	99	70	35d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+5	8.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Back over her best trip today but has not been dropped and is 3lb wrong to boot
