5	Smiling Bess Chestnut J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	161	—	8127-3	101	110	91	18d	—	—	-1	23	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Course winner; should have improved from Cork return and be involved off the same mark
4	Pampar Lady Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	164	—	56-621	104	113	90	18d	—	—	+1	18.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Won at Cork (2m1f); up 6lb and in trip but looks as if she will stay so on the shortlist
8	Navy Guitar Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	160	ht	98-510	100	108	101	25d	—	—	+2	16.9	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Well beaten at Galway last time; dropped 2lb but tends to jump left and others preferred
9	Brave Soldier Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Phillip Enright T:Mark Michael McNiff	158	—	06-443	98	113	84	15d	—	—	+2	16	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; considered
2	Malbas Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Edward Buckley	J:Kieren Buckley T:Edward Buckley	166	—	01-410	106	109	88	25d	—	—	+7	16.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Won over 2m here two starts back but ran way below that level at Galway since
6	Flidais Brown J:Danny Mullins T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Danny Mullins T:John Patrick Ryan	160	—	148-66	100	117	82	40d	—	—	+6	14.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
C&D winner won a beginners' chase in March but has been poor on her last two hurdle runs
10	Minority Interest Bay J:Calum Hogan(7) T:P J Rothwell	J:Calum Hogan(7) T:P J Rothwell	146	p	/072-0	86	112	106	36d	—	—	+4	11.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Second over C&D in 2024; beaten a long way on return at Killarney so has to improve plenty
7	Hudson Grey J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Miss Ellmarie Holden	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Miss Ellmarie Holden	160	—	5F-84	103	105	74	29d	—	—	+8	15.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Doesn't look particularly well-handicapped but is one to keep an eye on in the market
3	Must Meet Cecil gr/b J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Cian Collins	J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Cian Collins	164	b	822703	104	115	103	15d	—	—	+15	20.4	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Has run well in some claimers lately but poor in two handicaps; blinkers added
1	Liceo Brown J:P J O'Hanlon T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:P J O'Hanlon T:Dermot A McLoughlin	166	—	687	106	106	74	29d	—	—	+11	15.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Unplaced in 3 maiden h'dles; likely to do better in handicaps and is worth a market check
