12lb rise but only beaten half a length when sent off favourite here; should run well
6 (3)	Avatar Jet Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Mark Fahey	J:Gary Carroll T:Mark Fahey	131	—	610444	69	85	79	4d	—	—	-9	13.4	7/2 22%
Short of room when turning into the straight at Punchestown on Tuesday; big shout
11 (7)	Kiki Roberts Bay J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Noel Meade	J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:Noel Meade	122	b	688733	60	84	78	4d	—	—	-4	12.3	6/1 14%
Kept on late when 3rd at Punchestown on Tuesday; each-way possibilities turned out quickly
2 (2)	Anvika Chestnut J:James Ryan(3) T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:James Ryan(3) T:Ms Sheila Lavery	141	—	716969	79	83	67	7d	—	—	+3	11.5	9/1 10%
Down to a mark of 79 now and James Ryan takes off a further 3lb so is weighted to strike
10 (10)	Koniag Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Kieran P Cotter	J:Gavin Ryan T:Kieran P Cotter	125	—	69-172	63	85	81	10d	—	—	-3	5.8	11/1 8%
Up in grade here but will handle the ground and is proven over the trip
4 (11)	Whispersinthewind Chestnut J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	138	—	327-5	76	83	30	150d	—	—	+1	8.6	12/1 8%
Respectable fifth at Gowran off the back of a break; fair mark on handicap debut
8 (5)	Cornahilt Soldier Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Kevin Michael Smith	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Kevin Michael Smith	131	—	584307	69	84	72	25d	—	—	+2	8	16/1 6%
Excuses at Bellewstown; Kennedy excellent value for his 7lb claim and weighted to strike
7 (4)	Bella Colombia Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	131	v	044437	69	84	67	18d	—	—	+3	8.5	22/1 4%
Decent in handicaps at Roscommon and Bellewstown but poor at Gowran; probably needs softer
1 (8)	Goal Exceeded Bay J:Gary Halpin T:John S O'Donoghue	J:Gary Halpin T:John S O'Donoghue	142	—	-46387	80	83	62	10d	—	—	+7	9.9	33/1 3%
No good at Cork this month off the back of a gelding operation; needs to improve
9 (1)	Velvet Skies Chestnut J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Michael Mulvany	130	—	240490	68	84	65	54d	—	—	+3	5.2	50/1 2%
Form taken a nosedive since upped in trip and a first crack at 1m unlikely to help
5 (9)	Sinbad My Dad Bay J:N G McCullagh T:Seamus Fahey	J:N G McCullagh T:Seamus Fahey	136	p	9-4387	74	84	75	—	—	—	+4	6.6	50/1 2%
Beaten 1l into third on the Flat at Fairyhouse over 1m2f in May but he needed every yard
