10	Sixandahalf Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	158	—	21-12	140	147	136	49d	—	—	-11	40.4	0.17/1	4/6 60%
Strong traveller and a good jumper; hard to beat with a repeat of her Cheltenham second
8	Karoline Banbou Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	158	—	2-2146	132	140	127	11d	—	—	+16	27.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Something to find with Sixandahalf and will need to run better than at Fairyhouse latest
7	Karamoja Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	158	h	-3P173	133	137	123	11d	—	—	+21	32	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Third in a Grade 1 last time but she's held by Sixandahalf on their Cheltenham clash
9	Mozzies Sister Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Declan Queally	J:Shane Fitzgerald T:Declan Queally	158	v	213234	129	136	116	49d	—	—	+21	29.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Would have each-way claims if responding positively to the new headgear
3	Timetoshine Grey J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	161	—	111	-	132	113	26d	—	—	+15	24.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
3-3 over hurdles against inferior opposition; up in class but Flat ability is respected
2	Royal Hollow Chestnut J:Cian Quirke T:Andrew Slattery	J:Cian Quirke T:Andrew Slattery	161	—	112247	124	129	115	—	—	—	+22	25.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Progressive hurdler until below par last time; good Flat run since then; faces tough task
5	Dream On Baby Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	J:Donagh Meyler T:Emmet Mullins	158	tp	-01325	128	136	110	49d	—	—	+26	28.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Cheekpieces could bring something but wouldn't be the obvious answer to this
1	Cottesloe Sunshine Bay J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:J J Slevin T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	161	—	8U1310	126	131	110	88d	—	—	+29	30.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Ground too soft last time; a Listed winner before then but in a weaker race than this
6	Jane Eire Bay J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	158	ht	4210	122	129	114	49d	—	—	+26	28.2	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Lightly raced mare but has a lot to find with Sixandahalf on their Cheltenham clash
4	Beauforts Storm Chestnut J:Mr D Doyle T:Timothy Doyle	J:Mr D Doyle T:Timothy Doyle	158	—	221236	124	133	112	25d	—	—	+26	27.4	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Useful mare but on the balance of her form she'll probably be placed at best
