Bumper winner, 0-6 hurdling but edging closer to a breakthrough judged on Tipperary third

Second over 2m at this venue in April when 5l in front of Zolpharine, stiff task on latest

Two wins last term including at this venue, return to longer trip will suit after 2m runs

Gained third hurdles win in a 3m handicap at Tipperary in May, may need this after a break
1	Great Bear Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	166	—	5-3260	122	126	78	83d	—	—	+10	21.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Strike-rate of 1-19 over jumps is off-putting, big burden here, others preferred
3	Win Some Lose Some Bay J:Mark Walsh T:Padraig Roche	J:Mark Walsh T:Padraig Roche	160	—	7-1310	116	118	92	28d	—	—	+7	20.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Winner of two of his last four starts, not the most fluent jumper, no impact at Listowel
NR	Farmix b/br J:Sean Flanagan T:Liz Doyle	J:Sean Flanagan T:Liz Doyle	157	—	141/P-	113	125	-	302d	—	—	+11	17.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Looked a useful prospect in novice chases in 2020/21, pulled up on only start since
2	Drumgill Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Danny Gilligan T:John Patrick Ryan	165	—	115584	121	125	98	18d	—	—	+16	21.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Went up an aggregate 18lb for a summer hat-trick, has been too high in the handicap since
9	Cozone Bay J:James Smith(7) T:Matthew J Smith	J:James Smith(7) T:Matthew J Smith	155	b	P90610	111	126	95	9d	—	—	+16	24.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won a claiming hurdle here on penultimate start, 2024 handicap form has been unconvincing
4	Kaleosun Chestnut J:Mr J C Barry T:Eamonn O'Connell	J:Mr J C Barry T:Eamonn O'Connell	159	—	50P-79	116	119	91	114d	—	—	+13	17.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Disappointing since juvenile hurdle win for Gordon Elliott at Galway almost a year ago
7	Jeriko De Baune Grey J:Niall Moore(7) T:Philip Fenton	J:Niall Moore(7) T:Philip Fenton	156	—	4163-9	112	124	117	28d	—	—	+12	16.9	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Won two of his last five starts last season, likely to show the benefit of a Listowel run
12	Zolpharine Bay J:Philip Donovan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Philip Donovan(5) T:John Patrick Ryan	145	—	U80P35	101	126	60	11d	—	—	+11	15.2	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Modest handicap form this year apart from fair fourth over 2m here in May, chasing lately
