4	Ask Anything b J:Kieren Buckley T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Kieren Buckley T:Gavin Cromwell	162	t	422-FP	116	129	-	6d	—	—	+7	20.1	6/1 14%

Well below best last while and an opening mark of 119 looks harsh enough but respected
12	Cozone b J:James Smith(7) T:Matthew J Smith	J:James Smith(7) T:Matthew J Smith	156	t	610732	110	125	91	8d	—	—	+19	26.2	10/1 9%

16	Gabriel Ranger b J:Danny Mullins T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Danny Mullins T:Joseph G Murphy	151	—	85-416	105	122	103	59d	—	—	+8	16.1	11/1 8%
Beaten favourite at Listowel off 6lb higher; should have a chance if it doesn't turn soft
17	Stay Gold b J:Liam McKenna(5) T:C A Murphy	J:Liam McKenna(5) T:C A Murphy	151	—	764	105	122	92	27d	—	—	+8	16	12/1 8%

20	Depalma br J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:C A Murphy	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:C A Murphy	148	—	68-442	102	126	74	26d	—	—	+8	15.1	11/1 8%
Narrowly touched off in 16.5f Wexford maiden hurdle latest; should be a big player in this
15	Phils Choice b J:Tiernan Power Roche(7) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(7) T:P J Rothwell	152	—	82591-	106	123	95	333d	—	—	+21	27.2	14/1 7%
Stable is flying at present and Tiernan Power Roche is excellent value for his 7lb claim
14	Whatsafellatodo b J:Richard Deegan T:Richard James Daniels	J:Richard Deegan T:Richard James Daniels	153	—	426453	107	124	82	27d	—	—	+13	20.4	12/1 8%
Beaten 0.75l when third back over hurdles at Galway latest and the form has been boosted
3	Gold Speed b J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	165	—	621-85	119	123	102	56d	—	—	+13	18.9	16/1 6%
Only 1lb higher than last win but didn't show much of late and he's shoving on in years
8	Pax b J:Mark Walsh T:C A Murphy	J:Mark Walsh T:C A Murphy	159	—	8640-	113	118	100	237d	—	—	+12	17.4	16/1 6%
Looked a potential improver on handicap bow but that didn't work out; the jury is out
10	Thegraveyardbookie b J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	J:Conor McNamara T:E McNamara	158	—	416P-7	112	125	95	56d	—	—	+12	16.9	22/1 4%
Capable of better than what he has shown and yard having a fine season so watch the market
11	Grappa Nonino b J:Mr T Davies(7) T:D K Weld	J:Mr T Davies(7) T:D K Weld	157	—	015/0-	111	121	26	—	—	—	+13	16.1	22/1 4%
Doesn't look that well treated back over hurdles and hasn't looked a winner in waiting
19	Away To Milan b J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	149	—	5/412-	103	118	-	492d	—	—	+11	14.1	28/1 3%
Seems to be on the upgrade; well beaten on two starts around here would be the concern
5	Connors Cross gr J:Tom Kelly(7) T:Thomas Cooper	J:Tom Kelly(7) T:Thomas Cooper	162	h	271/6-	116	124	-	558d	—	—	+14	17.3	33/1 3%
Surprise winner here last year; 558-day absence to overcome; best watched on handicap bow
7	Farmix b/br J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Liz Doyle	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Liz Doyle	159	—	141/P-	113	119	-	332d	—	—	+13	17	25/1 4%
Pulled up at Limerick after 1,046 days off the track and has another absence to overcome
1	Getaway Charlie b J:Ambrose McCurtin T:Timothy Doyle	J:Ambrose McCurtin T:Timothy Doyle	166	—	12U-4P	120	123	38	140d	—	—	+16	18.2	33/1 3%
Has gone well fresh before but he looks high enough in the weights at present
13	Showman b J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	155	—	41200-	109	121	103	333d	—	—	+18	20.9	66/1 1%
Poor at Cheltenham and Leopardstown; off the track 333 days; hard to fancy on return
6	Camino Rock b J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:M F Morris	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:M F Morris	159	tb	-09617	113	121	58	59d	—	—	+21	23.3	66/1 1%
Failed to back up Kilbeggan win at Listowel; first-time blinkers added to tongue-tie
21	Mister Persistence b J:Daniel King T:E J O'Grady	J:Daniel King T:E J O'Grady	143	—	060	97	119	63	26d	—	—	+10	12.5	50/1 2%
He has shown limited ability in three starts over hurdles; best watched here
NR	Iamagetaway ch J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:James Andrew Fahey	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:James Andrew Fahey	158	t	46-551	112	120	92	35d	—	—	—	15.5	—
Form of win nothing to get excited about but he couldn't have been more impressive
