Just behind Liberated Light at Limerick last time; 4lb better off today and can go well

Won a Limerick handicap over this trip last time; cheekpieces retained and has a shout
2	Dumb Love Bay J:Aidan Kelly(5) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Aidan Kelly(5) T:Gerard O'Leary	163	—	4-3318	107	112	97	22d	—	—	+5	17.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Not a bad Leopardstown handicap effort last time but needs a more

Wexford maiden hurdle winner but was well below that level in a Leopardstown handicap
6	Bold Brook Chestnut J:Simon Torrens T:Miss Denise Marie O'Shea	J:Simon Torrens T:Miss Denise Marie O'Shea	158	—	5P6-40	102	115	90	228d	—	—	+8	15.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ran respectably on first two hurdle starts for former yard; has to be ready after a break
7	Crescent Moon Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Sean Flanagan T:Gavin Cromwell	158	—	22-580	102	105	76	22d	—	—	+7	15.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles but is surely capable of better; check the market

Beaten a long way on handicap/stable debut for this yard in November; has to bounce back
11	El Phenomeno Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	141	—	600-P	85	107	67	90d	—	—	+6	10	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Pulled-up on handicap debut in October so others make much more appeal

Well beaten in a novice on debut for this yard after racing keenly; hood added

Not much encouragement from three maiden hurdles and others make much more appeal
