In decent form; is best off a strong pace and is a player if the race pans out for him
5 (9)	Nedita Bay J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:David Marnane	J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:David Marnane	139	—	90691-	67	70	58	39d	—	—	+1	20	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Won over C&D last time; raised 8lb for that but seems to be going the right way
2 (11)	Morning Approach Bay J:Jack Kearney T:W McCreery	J:Jack Kearney T:W McCreery	142	—	70341-	70	72	64	39d	—	—	+6	20.9	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Bolted up over C&D last time under this rider; raised 9lb but has to be taken seriously
7 (2)	Tribal Moon Bay J:Paddy Harnett T:Daniel James Murphy	J:Paddy Harnett T:Daniel James Murphy	139	tp	80126-	67	71	54	25d	—	—	+2	17.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
C&D winner wasn't as good last time in first-time blinkers and cheekpieces are back
9 (7)	Si Senior Bay J:Patrick McGettigan(7) T:Patrick Magee	J:Patrick McGettigan(7) T:Patrick Magee	131	t	90089-	59	73	49	101d	—	—	-4	4.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Regressive in 2024; seemed to handle this surface on sole try but others appeal more today
1 (4)	Brains Bay J:Keithen Kennedy T:R Donohoe	J:Keithen Kennedy T:R Donohoe	142	tb	09680-	70	75	57	25d	—	—	-1	7.4	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Has to do much better than recent starts even dropping in the handicap
11 (12)	Zahee Bay J:Rory Mulligan(4) T:John C McConnell	J:Rory Mulligan(4) T:John C McConnell	126	ht	9700-7	54	72	52	4d	—	—	-4	2.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not in the best of form on recent starts, including 4 days ago; still not dismissed
12 (3)	Saxon Kingdom Bay J:Jimmy Dalton(7) T:Thomas Dowling	J:Jimmy Dalton(7) T:Thomas Dowling	119	t	00053-	47	70	54	—	—	—	0	4.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Ran well over C&D off this mark; needs to find a bit more in a stronger contest
6 (1)	Star Mind Bay J:Jack Cleary T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Jack Cleary T:Gerard O'Leary	139	—	27000-	67	73	47	27d	—	—	+4	5.8	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Two UK AW wins; 1m2f was too far last time and dangerous to dismiss back in trip
3 (5)	Super Over Chestnut J:Yudish Geerdharry(7) T:Sean Davis	J:Yudish Geerdharry(7) T:Sean Davis	142	—	17000-	70	73	-	62d	—	—	+5	7.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Was poor in a C&D claimer on debut for this yard but that was too bad to be true
NR (10)	Trishuli River Bay J:Hugh Horgan T:Shane Crawley	J:Hugh Horgan T:Shane Crawley	141	t	07113-	69	69	68	27d	—	—	—	19.8	—	—
In fine form over further but has won over this trip; up 2lb and should be a player
NR (6)	Man Is King Bay J:Wesley Joyce T:Thomas Dowling	J:Wesley Joyce T:Thomas Dowling	129	t	92322-	57	73	65	32d	—	—	—	13.3	—	—
Consistent in defeat over C&D on his last four starts; needs to find a bit more to score
