1lb higher here but is on a winnable mark once again and could take some stopping
7	Bossofthebus Bay J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	161	—	00900-	88	92	60	197d	—	—	0	13.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Showed some ability in a bumper here last year but very little since; best watched

Tried in a hood here and interesting to see what the market makes of him this time
NR	Brandt Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Cian Collins	J:Jordan Gainford T:Cian Collins	164	ht	7U417U	91	98	72	23d	—	—	-4	21.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Third reserve; set to win chase here when exiting at the last; 13lb lower hurdles mark
NR	Ilbdare Bay J:TBC T:Mark Michael McNiff	J: T:Mark Michael McNiff	163	—	-00358	92	97	78	27d	—	—	+6	14.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
First reserve; third in a C&D handicap hurdle in July and ran well over further at Galway
1	Malbas Bay J:Ben Harvey T:John C McConnell	J:Ben Harvey T:John C McConnell	168	—	062-63	95	98	68	25d	—	—	-1	16.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Some decent placed efforts to his name including a solid third at Roscommon; contender
2	Vintage Gold Chestnut J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:John Joseph Murphy	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:John Joseph Murphy	167	p	0-05U3	94	96	77	19d	—	—	+5	13.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Probably a non-staying third over 2m7f at Killarney earlier this month; should go well
14	Kilmacurkin Chestnut J:Jack Foley T:Aidan Anthony Howard	J:Jack Foley T:Aidan Anthony Howard	155	—	0093-2	82	97	14	155d	—	—	+7	15.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not seen since Limerick in May but not one to dismiss on his debut for Aidan Howard
8	Dontdooddson Bay J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Darren Collins	J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Darren Collins	160	—	53P38-	87	101	92	187d	—	—	+6	13.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Off since a moderate effort in a Tramore handicap chase in April and probably best watched
9	Hungry Rock Bay J:Philip Donovan(5) T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Philip Donovan(5) T:Mark Michael McNiff	159	—	680	88	89	55	21d	—	—	+3	12.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Could well be more at home in handicaps and worth a market watch for his local stable
10	Moulane West Bay J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Cian Quirke(5) T:Mark Michael McNiff	159	t	F33545	86	101	91	13d	—	—	+5	12.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Unlikely to be too far away; looks the first string of the stable quartet
11	Any Day Now Brown J:Philip Byrnes T:Edward Cawley	J:Philip Byrnes T:Edward Cawley	158	p	601-P0	85	98	-	65d	—	—	+3	11.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Only 4lb higher and coming here in similar form to when winning this last year
16	Danesfort Mayfly Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W J Lanigan	J:Danny Mullins T:W J Lanigan	153	tp	P0-U55	80	89	74	19d	—	—	+3	9.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Two reasonable efforts over further at Galway and Killarney; each-way chance back in trip
13	Manhattan Brook Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	156	—	000-0	83	79	30	91d	—	—	+5	9.4	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Soundly beaten in a quartet of maiden hurdles and makes no appeal here on her handicap bow
3	Lummi Island Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:D Deacon	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:D Deacon	165	—	570-70	92	98	32	139d	—	—	+7	11.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Showed ability in bumpers but yet to run to the same level over flights; others preferred
12	I'm For Home Chestnut J:Mike O'Connor T:R K Watson	J:Mike O'Connor T:R K Watson	158	h	88028-	85	95	22	288d	—	—	+10	13.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%

NR	Mr McWhinny Bay J:TBC T:Paul John Gilligan	J: T:Paul John Gilligan	161	tp	060877	88	91	51	10d	—	—	—	9.5	—	—
