Improving 4yo on a roll and although 12lb higher now this year retains respect
10 (12)	Intellotto Chestnut J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	127	t	72/2-1	87	101	50	46d	—	—	+9	28.5	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Very useful juvenile hurdler; unexposed on the Flat, no surprise if he proved competitive
8 (1)	Lot Of Joy Bay J:James Doyle T:W P Mullins	J:James Doyle T:W P Mullins	128	—	/6800-	88	104	97	260d	—	—	-1	13.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Absent since midfield (fav) in Cesarewitch in October; ground to suit but wants further

Recent staying-on Cork third; interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs
11 (7)	Pinot Gris Grey J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	123	p	94112-	83	102	88	—	—	—	+17	28.3	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Back from hurdling; on a competitive mark and ground in his favour
1 (6)	Safecracker Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	141	ht	217-50	101	104	64	9d	—	—	+7	14.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Last year's winner off 4lb lower; never showed at Ascot but still respected
2 (5)	Star Harbour Bay J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	136	v	462444	96	107	85	25d	—	—	+8	15.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Couple of solid runs here lately; return to this trip to suit and has to be considered
7 (11)	War Correspondent Grey J:W J Lee T:R P Cody	J:W J Lee T:R P Cody	129	tp	5-0163	89	102	52	—	—	—	+7	10.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Not the easiest to win with; jockey booking encouraging but remains opposable
3 (9)	Dame Rapide Bay J:Luke McAteer T:James M Barrett	J:Luke McAteer T:James M Barrett	133	—	/140-6	93	107	87	25d	—	—	+9	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%

Did well under both codes for Willie Mullins; shown little for current yard though
NR (8)	Zoffman Bay J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	131	p	0-3302	91	106	70	16d	—	—	—	10.3	—	—
Last year's second just denied at Cork latest; big player off same mark
NR (3)	Ceallach Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER T:M Halford & T Collins	J:NON-RUNNER T:M Halford & T Collins	127	—	811-78	87	102	65	25d	—	—	—	9.3	—	—
