Navan winner going the right way and this straight and stiff six will suit him well
1 (1)	Rudi's Apple Chestnut J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	138	—	362	90	88	79	10d	—	—	+1	23.2	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Improving colt; concedes plenty of weight here but probably has a favourite's chance
2 (8)	Snapdragon Brown J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	131	v	464	83	85	78	10d	—	—	-6	14.4	0.75/1	3/1 25%
7lb better off with Rudi's Apple from their Fairyhouse meeting; not guaranteed to reverse
5 (3)	Hugo's Girl Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Thomas Dowling	J:Chris Hayes T:Thomas Dowling	121	—	436	73	85	73	48d	—	—	+4	9.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Solid efforts on her first two maiden starts; handicapper has not taken many chances
4 (7)	Withoutfurtherado Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch	J:James Ryan(5) T:Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch	122	—	693	74	89	64	29d	—	—	+6	10.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
This stiff six should suit him but needs to improve again to trouble the likely principals
NR (2)	Powerful Lady Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Miss Natalia Lupini	J:NON-RUNNER T:Miss Natalia Lupini	120	—	497	72	90	66	29d	—	—	—	5.5	—	—
No surprise if she was able to put her last two runs behind her on her handicap debut
NR (4)	Bamako Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:A Oliver	J:Andrew Slattery T:A Oliver	119	p	4875	71	85	57	29d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—
4lb wrong but probably fairly handicapped and there could be a bit more to come from him
NR (6)	In The Minus Bay J:Sean Davis T:Sean Davis	J:Sean Davis T:Sean Davis	119	—	079	71	78	54	10d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—
Three runs in maidens have shown gradual progression; 4lb wrong here and a bit more needed
