Smart hurdler with good strike rate, sets the standard following good chase debut over 3m
6	Loughglynn Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	166	—	P32-35	-	135	108	29d	—	—	-18	7.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Needs to improve on Navan effort, unlikely to reverse previous form with High Class hero
7	Mint Boy Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	166	—	17-370	134	129	88	51d	—	—	+9	26	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Useful hurdler has failed to build on a satisfactory chase debut, tame display on latest
2	Chigorin Brown J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	166	—	310-29	-	128	102	24d	—	—	-20	8.7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Good effort at Fairyhouse on chasing debut, failed to match that display at Gowran
5	Kalanisi Star Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	166	—	1575/8	-	-	-	24d	—	—	-16	6.8	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Campaigned at a high level over hurdles, should be better for his comeback run at Gowran
8	Cuta Des As Bay J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	159	—	1P7-49	-	122	95	29d	—	—	-9	3.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Jumped poorly at Navan last month, no appeal as the apparent outsider of three for stable
1	Catch The Beast Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Edward Cawley	J:Kieren Buckley T:Edward Cawley	166	—	1P55-0	-	68	16	36d	—	—	-8	3.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Course winner over hurdles, huge odds when in rear on chasing/seasonal debut at Fairyhouse
3	Committee Meeting Black J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	166	—	1-4366	-	-	-	49d	—	—	+1	9.3	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Point winner last season, modest hurdles form, likely to find this much too demanding
