Grade 2 winner at 2m7f, arguably sets the standard with her second in the Albert Bartlett
1	Air Of Entitlement Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	159	—	117-11	-	146	136	38d	—	—	-15	6.2	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Fine effort to beat Sixandahalf at Cheltenham, trainer's The Big Westerner may be too good
6	Karoline Banbou Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	159	—	12-214	132	139	126	38d	—	—	+12	23.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Fourth behind Air Of Entitlement at Cheltenham, softer ground and longer trip should help
9	Maughreen Bay J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	159	h	1-10	-	129	63	38d	—	—	+1	9.5	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Lost all chance at the start at Cheltenham, should not be out of place in this grade
2	Aurora Vega Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	159	—	-1P110	135	141	117	38d	—	—	+30	36.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Smart mare, plenty to prove after mid-field finish behind Air Of Entitlement at Cheltenham
12	Tareze Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Sean Flanagan T:Henry De Bromhead	159	—	P-121F	130	133	102	38d	—	—	+16	21.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Showed a good standard of form before Limerick fall, stable has two stronger candidates
4	Hey Sunshine Bay J:Phillip Enright T:W P Mullins	J:Phillip Enright T:W P Mullins	159	—	23111	130	137	84	131d	—	—	+42	44.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
3-3 over hurdles including a 2m4f defeat of stablemate Tareze, might prefer better ground.
16	World Of Fortunes Chestnut J:Jordan Gainford T:Liam Kenny	J:Jordan Gainford T:Liam Kenny	159	p	111461	130	137	116	50d	—	—	+33	35.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Has been a credit to her trainer with 4-6 record over hurdles, deserves a shot at this
13	That'll Do Moss Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Jonathan Burke T:Fergal O'Brien	159	—	-17122	-	127	119	44d	—	—	+14	16	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Beaten at long odds-on at Ayr last time, this is highly ambitious against that background
5	Karamoja Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:W P Mullins	J:Keith Donoghue T:W P Mullins	159	h	3-3P17	128	136	120	38d	—	—	+20	22.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Fair seventh at Cheltenham but will need to reverse form with winner, second and fourth
15	Venusienne Brown J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	159	—	2-0	-	121	104	38d	—	—	+3	3.8	25.00/1	100/1 1%
33-1 when down the field behind Air Of Entitlement, no apparent chance on that evidence
8	Kom Tu Voudras Brown J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	159	—	3-	-	-	-	584d	—	—	+2	3.4	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Helps to make up the numbers for Willie Mullins, faces a huge task on Irish debut
11	Swing Davis Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	159	—	-332F1	121	129	89	50d	—	—	+30	30.9	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Costly to follow before maiden hurdle win on latest, not a likely contender at this level
7	Kmil Du Seuil Bay J:Ricky Doyle T:W P Mullins	J:Ricky Doyle T:W P Mullins	159	—	3-	-	-	-	680d	—	—	+2	3.2	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Form of her only French run is attractive, thrown in at the deep end after a long absence
NR	Dream On Baby Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	159	t	-01325	128	135	109	38d	—	—	—	27.5	—	—
Second to Aurora Vega in a 2m2f Grade 3 event at this venue, faded in 2m6f Limerick event.

Strong stayer on the Flat, pegged back by Air Of Entitlement at Cheltenham, strong chance
