Punchestown second offers much-needed reassurance after Leopardstown flop, strong chance
8	Mickie Angel Grey J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	161	—	5-8461	115	120	77	24d	—	—	+4	21.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
A return to this trip did the trick at Fairyhouse, an 11lb rise makes this hard
3	Prophet's Corner Brown J:Mr D Allen(7) T:Sean Joseph Allen	J:Mr D Allen(7) T:Sean Joseph Allen	165	—	-13331	119	124	87	9d	—	—	+25	37.4	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Made all to beat a good current yardstick by 8l on handicap debut, stiff 2m4f should suit
15	Driveonwill Brown J:Brian Hayes T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Brian Hayes T:Ross O'Sullivan	142	—	36804	96	121	85	33d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+3	15.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Perhaps unlucky not to finish a little closer when fourth on handicap debut, may improve
4	Collaborative Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	163	—	5-4311	117	116	109	24d	—	—	+8	20.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
C&D winner in January, coped with drop in trip at Fairyhouse, further progress is feasible
14	Chosen Diamond Bay J:Philip Byrnes T:Edward Cawley	J:Philip Byrnes T:Edward Cawley	147	p	2P5-01	101	128	43	24d	—	—	+8	14.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Confirmed a liking for heavy ground when winning at Fairyhouse, can be in the mix again
9	Phils Choice Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:P J Rothwell	155	p	91-020	109	123	88	27d	—	—	+9	16.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Limerick second was encouraging, no impact in a stronger race at Leopardstown on latest
10	Reflectionist Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh(3) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(3) T:Gavin Cromwell	152	t	11-069	106	109	97	105d	—	—	+11	15.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Gained back-to-back wins May 2023, failed to sustain improvement in three 2024 runs
12	Jersey Des Brosses Chestnut J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	148	tp	3U-968	102	108	65	21d	—	—	+10	14.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Expensive purchase after a point-to-point second, makes handicap debut off a modest mark
2	Zoffanien Bay J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(5) T:Terence O'Brien	167	—	353F-0	121	122	87	—	—	—	+13	19.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Three-time hurdles winner, reasonable form on the Flat after joining this yard last summer
5	Chosen Thyme Chestnut J:Niall Moore(5) T:Philip Fenton	J:Niall Moore(5) T:Philip Fenton	161	—	44-370	115	122	72	14d	—	—	+14	17.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Mid-field at Gowran two weeks ago, may improve having been absent since last July
11	Pirate Island Chestnut J:Conor McNamara T:Philip Fenton	J:Conor McNamara T:Philip Fenton	151	—	44P-F0	105	121	29	14d	—	—	+13	14.1	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Promising form in maidens last season, plenty to prove now after two outings last month

Good staying handicap chaser for Gordon Elliott two seasons ago, lost his way, new yard
16	Great Island Bay J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:Eoin Griffin	J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:Eoin Griffin	140	—	33700-	94	123	-	357d	—	—	+11	13	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Ended last season with a few below-par performances, best watched after 12 months off
13	Walter Grey Grey J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:F G Hand	J:Patrick M O'Brien(7) T:F G Hand	148	t	540/0-	102	123	-	659d	—	—	+12	13.3	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Lightly raced since second in a 2021 Naas bumper won by Gerri Colombe, off for a long time

Has lost his form completely since winning at Thurles early last year, needs a revival
