Remains on an okay mark, market possibly best guide on seasonal/yard debut

Inadequate trip both runs this term; will appreciate return to this longer trip; bad draw
2 (11)	James Henry Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	140	p	399-07	68	75	65	13d	—	—	-4	7.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Left with plenty to do over 6f at the Curragh on latest; now reverts to this longer trip
4 (12)	Escape Act Bay J:Jack Kearney(5) T:Richard John O'Brien	J:Jack Kearney(5) T:Richard John O'Brien	138	—	446-00	66	75	-	33d	—	—	-2	6.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
6f too short last time; down 4lb so don't rule out improved show here
13 (8)	Faoladh Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	126	t	6606-	68	66	62	188d	—	—	-1	6.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Relatively unexposed 3yo but stiff enough task on seasonal return against elders
9 (9)	Relevant Range Bay J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:Gillian Scott	J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:Gillian Scott	134	p	1000-4	62	71	62	20d	—	—	-3	5.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Bellewstown run encouraging; one to consider although doesn't want it soft
5 (15)	Free Solo Chestnut J:Ben Coen T:P J F Murphy	J:Ben Coen T:P J F Murphy	137	etb	224557	65	73	41	20d	—	—	-2	7.3	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Better AW performer nowadays; Bellewstown run leaves him with a fair bit to find
1 (14)	Chavajod Grey J:Ross Coakley T:D P Coakley	J:Ross Coakley T:D P Coakley	140	p	009-39	68	76	66	26d	—	—	0	6.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Wasn't helped by a wide draw at Leopardstown last time and similar scenario here
8 (7)	Nezeeh Bay J:Alan Casey(10) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Alan Casey(10) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	135	p	-80485	63	73	26	20d	—	—	-1	4.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Not discredited last time at Bellewstown but still hard to fancy

Veteran's fine comeback run at Bellewstown makes him a definite contender
11 (3)	Venetian Bay J:Sean Davis T:Sean Davis	J:Sean Davis T:Sean Davis	133	—	90-618	61	72	28	24d	—	—	0	3.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Wolverhampton winner last month held since at same track; turf return, others preferred
12 (1)	Is That Love Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:P Sweeney	J:Seamie Heffernan T:P Sweeney	132	—	009/99	60	70	-	70d	—	—	0	3.6	8.25/1	33/1 3%
No threat both AW runs over the winter; hard to be confident in back on turf
NR (4)	Finsceal Annie Chestnut J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Ciaran Murphy	136	tb	521-63	64	72	56	35d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Good AW run recently; acts on yielding so considered here with new headgear combination
NR (16)	Vega's Muse Chestnut J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	126	—	67-07	68	67	57	2d	—	—	—	4.5	—	—
Unable to justify market support on Wednesday's handicap debut at Gowran; drawn wide here
NR (13)	Rising Sky Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Anthony McCann	J:Leigh Roche T:Anthony McCann	123	—	068	65	68	-	35d	—	—	—	3.8	—	—
Handicap debut now switched to turf and draw does her no favours
NR (2)	Tofino Bay J:Robert Whearty(3) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Robert Whearty(3) T:Gavin Cromwell	123	—	0004-	65	68	59	208d	—	—	—	3.8	—	—
Curragh run last September gives cause for optimism on return to action

Leopardstown run encouraging, could go well if handling ground; reserve
