A 117-rated hurdler, 13lb lower over fences, second in a recent novice handicap at Clonmel
3	Money Heist Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	165	p	5/411-	120	116	109	339d	—	—	+5	22.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Is 2-2 in handicap chases last winter, probably capable of further improvement this term
1	Dont Go Yet Bay J:Carl Millar(5) T:Edward Cawley	J:Carl Millar(5) T:Edward Cawley	168	p	136-85	123	122	112	15d	—	—	+8	22.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Ran in a stronger race at Fairyhouse last time, must jump better but holds definite chance
8	Clonbury Bridge Brown J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:J P Dempsey	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:J P Dempsey	153	tb	027320	108	123	70	30d	—	—	+11	24.5	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Good run over fences at Clonmel before a moderate run over hurdles at Cheltenham last time
6	Clonshire River Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	157	t	F72263	112	122	73	35d	—	—	+16	25	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Point winner in 2021, runner-up three times in maiden hurdles; ordinary chase form so far
7	Someone's Wish Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	155	p	613282	116	124	119	24d	—	—	+20	29.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Youngster has taken well to chasing and and has fair prospects following Thurles second
10	A Great Buzz Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Robert Tyner	J:Simon Torrens T:Robert Tyner	140	t	7938-U	95	-	-	49d	—	—	+5	13.8	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Best hurdles run was over 2m4f, unseated in a 2m6f event on chase debut, 2m hardly ideal
2	Midnight It Is Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	165	—	14351-	120	123	112	323d	—	—	+26	32.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Helps to give Gavin Cromwell a strong hand although Money Heist is a little more appealing
4	Folly Master Chestnut J:Ben Harvey T:Tom Dreaper	J:Ben Harvey T:Tom Dreaper	163	—	0011F-	118	122	90	266d	—	—	+25	28.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Trip is probably too short since his wins last season were obtained over 2m7f and 2m5f
5	Starman Grey J:Jordan Gainford T:Anthony McCann	J:Jordan Gainford T:Anthony McCann	158	h	43-465	113	123	90	65d	—	—	+14	16.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Three-time hurdles scorer, three nondescript runs over fences, others preferred
