Probably the one to beat on her best form and has run well fresh

Strong-finishing Wexford second should appreciate longer trip; big player
2	March On Dave Bay J:Cian Quirke T:M O Quigley	J:Cian Quirke T:M O Quigley	158	—	F356	-	103	86	12d	—	—	-5	3.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Has run respectably in both maidens; can't be ruled out but of more interest in handicaps
1	Courtbrack Boy Bay J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	158	h	08	-	99	48	13d	—	—	-1	0.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
None too fluent on both maiden outings; hood now tried but may need more time
5	Ballydrum Brown J:Daniel King T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Daniel King T:John Patrick Ryan	151	—	5	-	88	43	10d	—	—	-2	0.8	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Didn't count on Sligo debut 10 days ago when a 16-1 shot; may need more time
3	Nohilltoosteep Bay J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:James M Barcoe	J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:James M Barcoe	158	tp	7P89-0	-	-	-	43d	—	—	-1	0.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Well beaten in bumpers and pulled up on hurdles debut last winter

Too keen when well beaten on Kilbeggan debut last month (3m); best watched for now
