C&D runner-up on softer ground; not the most resolute finisher and opposable
15 (12)	Touted Plan Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	128	—	-89872	64	74	59	18d	—	—	-1	12.1	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Just denied at Naas latest; looks to be getting her act together so don't rule out
11 (9)	Senti Qua Grey J:Colin Keane T:K J Condon	J:Colin Keane T:K J Condon	133	p	77562	69	76	54	41d	—	—	+1	13.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Staying-on Dundalk second; looks an improver, could go well if staying
9 (13)	Nedita Bay J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	133	—	315098	63	71	56	18d	—	—	-2	7.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
More encouraging behind Star Mind at Naas on latest but good bit more required here
12 (8)	Zaraahmando Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	133	—	-45110	69	69	57	20d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+9	19.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Best form at 7f but easy mile here could be within his compass so don't rule out
R16 (4)	Daonethatgotaway Chestnut J:TBC T:Mark Fahey	J: T:Mark Fahey	142	tp	-12130	72	69	64	27d	—	—	+11	18.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
The draw his undoing at Galway, much better draw here if getting a run; reserve
5 (14)	Secret Magician Bay J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Martin Hassett	J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Martin Hassett	137	tp	047474	67	74	57	18d	—	—	-1	6.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Naas fourth one of his better efforts but remains opposable, especially from this draw
4 (7)	Darkdeserthighway Bay J:Leigh Roche T:M D O'Callaghan	J:Leigh Roche T:M D O'Callaghan	137	b	315-58	67	73	51	33d	—	—	0	6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Long losing run on turf; remains a bit high in the handicap
6 (15)	Speckled Meadow Brown J:Wayne Hassett(3) T:Don Browne	J:Wayne Hassett(3) T:Don Browne	137	—	200-80	67	77	56	24d	—	—	-1	6.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Wants it softer and wide draw doesn't help
3 (5)	Chavajod Grey J:Ross Coakley T:D P Coakley	J:Ross Coakley T:D P Coakley	139	v	917003	69	78	61	24d	—	—	+3	12.3	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Touched off over C&D last summer and back to form at Galway latest; respected
14 (6)	Brandon Creek Chestnut J:Jack Cleary(5) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Jack Cleary(5) T:Gerard O'Leary	130	—	8-7699	66	77	54	22d	—	—	-3	6.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Two handicap runs over mid-distances; down in trip here but still looks on a high mark
R18 (1)	Alto Sax Bay J:Ben Coen T:Peter Fahey	J:Ben Coen T:Peter Fahey	129	p	-02308	59	77	72	32d	—	—	+3	6.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Well below best of late, cheekpieces now replace blinkers; reserve
10 (17)	No Such Thing Bay J:Christine Worrell(10) T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Christine Worrell(10) T:Ross O'Sullivan	133	v	325683	69	79	51	37d	—	—	+6	10	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Limited appeal on handicap debut from a wide draw and inexperienced claimer
8 (18)	Linger For Longer Bay J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:Augustine Leahy	J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:Augustine Leahy	133	—	53-096	63	77	48	41d	—	—	+1	4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Best at shorter; twice well held over C&D, hard to fancy from wide draw too
1 (16)	Shelbourne Grey J:Chris Hayes T:Martin Hassett	J:Chris Hayes T:Martin Hassett	140	—	6-4500	70	76	36	18d	—	—	+3	5.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Hard to fancy on the back of poor recent yard debut effort at Naas
NR (10)	Star Mind Bay J:Nicola Burns(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Nicola Burns(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	140	—	002251	70	77	66	18d	—	—	—	19	—	—
Did well to get up at Naas; 8lb rise so career-best now needed but not ruled out
NR (3)	Still She Blooms Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Chris Timmons	J:NON-RUNNER T:Chris Timmons	135	h	392195	65	72	44	1d	—	—	—	10.3	—	—
All-the-way C&D winner last month; Naas run poor but better effort Leopardstown Thursday
