Third in a 2m4f handicap at Cork; 18-race maiden could get into the frame

17	The Diddler Bay J:Ricky Doyle T:P M Quinlan	J:Ricky Doyle T:P M Quinlan	148	t	0-3233	102	119	59	58d	—	—	+5	16.3	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Handicapper has not taken many chances but an interesting handicap debutante nonetheless
15	Londonofficecallin Grey J:Daniel King T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Daniel King T:Gavin Cromwell	148	t	6116-0	102	124	92	56d	—	—	+6	15.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%

Jumping remains a problem and let him down again at Navan last time; others preferred
11	Sammy Smart Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	153	—	200381	107	123	70	33d	—	—	+21	27.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Drop in trip not necessarily ideal but the best of him may yet be to come; respected
7	Paradise Lost Bay J:Gavin Brouder(3) T:Charles O'Brien	J:Gavin Brouder(3) T:Charles O'Brien	158	—	/255-4D	112	124	114	—	—	—	+11	17.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%

Not seen since running well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in March;should improve for it
9	Union Park Bay J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	155	t	3B-804	109	124	90	15d	—	—	+12	15.8	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Fine run over fences at Limerick; maybe a big run off his 14lb lower hurdle mark is due
13	Cozone Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Matthew J Smith	J:Danny Gilligan T:Matthew J Smith	150	t	327000	104	125	107	15d	—	—	+11	15.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Struggled on his last three starts but his mark is looking a bit more attractive
8	Mic Drop Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:David M O'Brien	J:Sean Flanagan T:David M O'Brien	156	—	341943	110	117	103	11d	—	—	+18	22	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Decent maiden hurdle run at Cork; may have found the ground too testing at Tramore; claims
