Staying sort, drop in trip here hardly likely play to his strengths
3	Gamigin Bay J:Alex Harvey(5) T:Noel C Kelly	J:Alex Harvey(5) T:Noel C Kelly	159	tp	01P9P4	102	112	103	28d	—	—	+1	18.5	9/2 18%
Encouraging recent Leopardstown comeback run puts him in the mix
2	Fool Me Once Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	162	—	630888	105	110	80	31d	—	—	+4	18.4	6/1 14%
First run under rules on decent ground so potential improver in third handicap
8	A Mere Bagatelle Bay J:Paddy Hanlon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Paddy Hanlon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	152	b	393FF2	95	111	90	17d	—	—	+6	19	6/1 14%
Just denied at Limerick; drop in trip probably not ideal but should give a bold showing
6	Chortal Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	157	t	4955	110	114	79	36d	—	—	+9	17.5	9/1 10%
4yo should appreciate this better ground and one of the least exposed here
1	Ciao Adios Bay J:Eoin G Kelly(7) T:Adrian Murray	J:Eoin G Kelly(7) T:Adrian Murray	166	t	36481	109	112	80	10d	—	—	+19	27.7	9/1 10%
Relished better ground for recent Cork win; could have more to offer despite 10lb rise
9	Telnobody Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	147	h	7-00F5	90	108	73	78d	—	—	+4	12.2	11/1 8%
Jumping has been an issue in maidens; hooded on handicap debut and hard to be confident in
10	Walk In The Sea Bay J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Caragh Monaghan(7) T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	144	t	474096	87	108	96	13d	—	—	+5	10.9	12/1 8%
Recent debut run not without promise; slightly shorter trip could suit too
11	I'm For Home Chestnut J:Mike O'Connor T:R K Watson	J:Mike O'Connor T:R K Watson	140	—	28-064	83	106	-	34d	—	—	+3	10.2	12/1 8%
Signs of return to form at Punchestown recently; 3lb wrong here however
4	Tankardstown Diva Grey J:L P Dempsey T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:L P Dempsey T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	158	p	70F84P	101	112	84	29d	—	—	+10	14	20/1 5%
Hasn't convinced over fences of late; drops in trip on hurdles return with cheekpieces on
5	Burren Song Bay J:E Walsh T:Ciaran Murphy	J:E Walsh T:Ciaran Murphy	157	t	2/0088	100	107	90	28d	—	—	+13	17.1	22/1 4%
Flat winner not as good a hurdler but better for recent run and don't rule out
