Last year's win in this race came on soft; quicker ground a major concern

Yard debut so worth a market check with yard continuing in good form
19 (19)	Epaulawn b/br J:Killian Leonard T:Noel G Hynds	J:Killian Leonard T:Noel G Hynds	124	t	-59543	47	70	58	21d	—	—	-7	7	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Longstanding maiden for whom recent Down Royal third augurs well
10 (9)	Question Of Class Bay J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	J:Rory Cleary T:J S Bolger	132	p	907-62	65	64	42	31d	—	—	-5	7.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Limerick second a big step up, cheekpieces now fitted and back in trip; should go well
21 (5)	Selective Power Chestnut J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Thomas Coyle	J:Robert Whearty(5) T:Thomas Coyle	124	—	560-00	47	74	46	35d	—	—	-4	1.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%

1 (17)	Numidia Bay J:Alan Persse(7) T:Peter Lawlor	J:Alan Persse(7) T:Peter Lawlor	142	v	4-2713	65	67	56	21d	—	—	-2	6.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
In the form of his life of late; 12lb aggregate rise partially offset by claimer here
3 (11)	Limestone Red Chestnut J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:M Halford & T Collins	J:Scott McCullagh(3) T:M Halford & T Collins	139	p	7-0077	62	68	54	21d	—	—	-1	4.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%

11 (20)	He Knows When Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Luke Comer	J:Robbie Colgan T:Luke Comer	127	t	984-43	50	69	43	23d	—	—	-4	1.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Nabbed for second by Doctor Grace at Leopardstown; not sure this extra 1f will suit
14 (2)	Nawraq Chestnut J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Kevin Michael Smith	J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Kevin Michael Smith	125	t	027-00	48	75	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Losing sequence on flat now extends to 18; recent hurdles form doesn't inspire confidence
7 (12)	Randall Poets Lass Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Seamus Fahey	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Seamus Fahey	136	p	0-0700	59	80	31	11d	—	—	-1	3.3	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Yet to hit form this season, of limited appeal
20 (3)	Lissadell Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Gavin Ryan T:Mark Michael McNiff	124	tb	/0707-	47	66	44	315d	—	—	-3	1.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Hasn't been seen since September and 4lb out of handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces
15 (24)	Thatboathassailed Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	J:Nathan Crosse T:Luke Comer	125	—	/095-6	48	73	43	6d	—	—	-3	1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Modest comeback run at Limerick 6 days ago, hard to see her making the improvement needed
16 (26)	Blackstone Cliff Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Gerard Keane	J:J M Sheridan T:Gerard Keane	124	tp	705-08	47	73	61	—	—	—	-2	0.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Recent hurdles form ordinary and new headgear combination now tried
9 (1)	Susiesparkle Chestnut J:Seamie Heffernan T:D Broad	J:Seamie Heffernan T:D Broad	133	ht	8090-0	56	77	50	35d	—	—	0	2.2	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Poor in handicaps so far, latest on last month's seasonal return over C&D; hard to fancy
22 (8)	Wee Jim Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Luke Comer	J:Chris Hayes T:Luke Comer	124	t	06542/	47	76	-	969d	—	—	+3	5.9	10.00/1	40/1 2%

Unexposed maiden; upped in trip for handicap debut and probably best watched
13 (4)	Hollywood Star Bay J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Luke Comer	J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Luke Comer	126	t	0-5000	49	79	45	9d	—	—	-2	0.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Well held in 1m6f handicaps of late; drops in trip and of limited appeal
4 (10)	Quick Blessing Bay J:Gary Carroll T:C Moore	J:Gary Carroll T:C Moore	139	—	080-90	62	68	51	169d	—	—	+2	3.3	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Shown very little in three runs for this yard, last of 14 when upped to this trip latest
18 (23)	Curzon Queen Bay J:Neve Bennett(7) T:H Smyth	J:Neve Bennett(7) T:H Smyth	124	b	569-00	47	73	43	21d	—	—	-1	0.2	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Form under both codes for present yard of little account; 5lb wrong here
NR (22)	Patrick Street Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:Patrick Martin	J:James Ryan(5) T:Patrick Martin	137	tp	2076-9	60	70	58	69d	—	—	—	2.5	—	—
C&D winner last October may want easier ground
NR (18)	Barretstown Bay J:W J Lee T:Conor O'Dwyer	J:W J Lee T:Conor O'Dwyer	133	—	2-3701	56	69	47	53d	—	—	—	5	—	—
Cork win over Doctor Grace augurs well; stiffer stamina test however
NR (15)	Game Phoenix Chestnut J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Paul Power	J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Paul Power	122	—	068	55	65	23	17d	—	—	—	1.3	—	—

NR (25)	Lord Park Bay J:TBC T:John C McConnell	J: T:John C McConnell	130	t	000-05	53	77	49	8d	—	—	—	0.8	—	—
Something to take from recent Bellewstown run so don't rule out if getting a run; reserve
NR (14)	Bang Po Bay J:TBC T:Liam McAteer	J: T:Liam McAteer	141	—	2001-0	64	71	55	8d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
