Consistent 3yo and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well
5 (9)	Lope De Lilas Chestnut J:Gary Carroll T:W P Mullins	J:Gary Carroll T:W P Mullins	133	—	00-260	94	104	68	33d	—	—	+2	14.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Lightly raced and met with interference when behind some of these at the Curragh
4 (2)	Cheeky Wink Bay J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	135	p	2-3142	96	101	90	31d	—	—	+7	18.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Another notable effort when floored late by an outsider at Listed level last time
7 (4)	Fleetfoot Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:J S Bolger	J:Declan McDonogh T:J S Bolger	132	t	022-01	93	108	80	33d	—	—	+4	13.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Picked up well to win at the Curragh and a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world
6 (17)	Cloud Seeker Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	132	—	1-8122	93	105	82	33d	—	—	+10	20.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
In form and consistent, but stall 17 is hardly ideal for one who likes to be up there
17 (11)	Nans View Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Jarlath P Fahey	J:Leigh Roche T:Jarlath P Fahey	124	—	411-02	85	101	87	55d	—	—	+2	11.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Second of 21 runners last time and with course form in the book she's respected
16 (6)	Lord Church Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Emmet Mullins	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Emmet Mullins	124	—	32-379	85	103	79	33d	—	—	+1	11.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Prolific last season and not beaten far in competitive handicaps for current yard
1 (14)	Layfayette Brown J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	140	tp	0-6432	101	106	85	34d	—	—	+8	14.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
A long time since he contested a handicap but has plenty of class about him
10 (5)	En Or Bay J:Jimmy Dalton(10) T:A J Martin	J:Jimmy Dalton(10) T:A J Martin	130	t	071-70	91	101	84	82d	—	—	+6	12	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Six-time winner and latest run at Longchamp wasn't without promise
2 (12)	Mashhoor Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:J P Murtagh	J:Seamie Heffernan T:J P Murtagh	136	h	08-075	97	104	80	33d	—	—	+8	13.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention; excused latest defeat
13 (18)	Soaring Monarch Bay J:Nicola Burns(7) T:James M Barrett	J:Nicola Burns(7) T:James M Barrett	127	—	16-060	88	104	65	33d	—	—	+7	10.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Lightly raced since sole win in 2021 but others have far more pressing form claims
8 (19)	Extensio Bay J:J M Sheridan T:P F O'Donnell	J:J M Sheridan T:P F O'Donnell	131	—	/611-8	92	105	74	18d	—	—	+8	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Last season went well; would have found 1m much too sharp on his comeback run
9 (21)	Mo Ghille Mar Bay J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	131	p	545061	92	105	73	14d	—	—	+18	21.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Impressed at Down Royal but the 8lb rise for that could find her out
15 (3)	God Of Thunder Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	124	tp	595-10	85	101	85	4d	—	—	+7	9.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
12lb higher than for his Limerick win in June (1m4f) and was well held here on Monday
14 (16)	Weston Grey J:Gavin Ryan T:H Rogers	J:Gavin Ryan T:H Rogers	125	t	06-030	86	102	81	4d	—	—	+7	9.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
His penultimate third came in a small field and he was well beaten here on Monday
11 (15)	Qaasid Bay J:Dylan O'Connor(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Dylan O'Connor(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	130	v	80101-	91	106	87	—	—	—	+24	25.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Five-time winner in Britain but hasn't pulled up any trees over hurdles for this yard
3 (20)	Star Harbour Bay J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	136	v	943088	97	105	82	11d	—	—	+11	13.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Has the form to feature in a race of this nature but was well below his best last time
