Point and bumper winner; good second over 2m6f last time; drop back in trip is of concern
9	October Hill Brown J:Sean Flanagan T:Colin Bowe	J:Sean Flanagan T:Colin Bowe	151	—	5-9332	100	118	89	35d	—	—	+3	16.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Chased home the favourite at Tramore last month and that form brings her into this
2	Sea Eagle Brown J:Thomas O'Connor(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Thomas O'Connor(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	166	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-10	4	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Rated 83 on Flat with three wins; big contender if he can transfer his ability to hurdles
6	North Winterfell Bay J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	156	—	64	-	105	74	21d	—	—	-7	2.7	1.88/1	15/2 12%
69-rated on Flat; keen last time when fading late; return to shorter may suit
4	Scary Askari Bay J:Mr N McParlan T:S McParlan	J:Mr N McParlan T:S McParlan	158	—	PP/62	-	-	-	40d	—	—	-7	2.7	4.00/1	16/1 6%
PU in two French hurdle starts; bumper run here last time was okay; others preferred
12	Imperial Miss Bay J:J J Slevin T:Thomas Gibney	J:J J Slevin T:Thomas Gibney	149	t	U50	-	114	77	78d	—	—	-5	1.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Rated 46 on Flat; best of three maiden starts came here when fifth over 2m6f; unlikely
14	Trixaboutmaisie Bay J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Colin Bowe	J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Colin Bowe	149	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Half-sister to three winners; dam unraced half-sister to Cousin Vinny; check market
15	Tudorista Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	149	—	448	-	110	91	44d	—	—	-4	1.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Pick of three runs was an 8.5l fourth on penultimate; needs to improve
11	Boston Queen Chestnut J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	149	—	99	-	88	58	68d	—	—	-2	0.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Unsighted in two maiden hurdle starts; similar story likely
13	Notmiwadi Bay J:Alex Harvey(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Alex Harvey(3) T:John C McConnell	149	—	0-97	-	96	-	25d	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Struggled in two bumper outings; same story in a maiden hurdle over C&D last month
R16	Owl's Delight Grey J:Danny Mullins T:Alan McIntyre	J:Danny Mullins T:Alan McIntyre	158	—	9	-	-	-	57d	—	—	-2	0.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Tailed off on debut; hard to recommend based on that; makes stable/hurdle debut; reserve
3	Mount Hotham Chestnut J:Paddy Hanlon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Paddy Hanlon(7) T:John Joseph Hanlon	158	h	7	-	41	14	33d	—	—	-2	0.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Placed in three runs for Andre Fabre; back from mammoth absence when tailed off last time
8	Hello Yes Chestnut J:Richard Deegan T:S McParlan	J:Richard Deegan T:S McParlan	151	—	0-05	-	90	53	21d	—	—	-2	0.6	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Hasn't been involved in bumper and two maiden hurdle starts and unlikely to do it now
10	Wings Of Eve Bay J:Alix Balfe(7) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Alix Balfe(7) T:Gavin Cromwell	151	—	00	-	66	42	14d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Well beaten in two maiden hurdle starts; trainer also runs Tudorista
7	Annie Grey Grey J:Simon Torrens T:Noel C Kelly	J:Simon Torrens T:Noel C Kelly	151	t	P3	-	38	40	30d	—	—	+1	2.3	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Big prices for two maiden starts and ran like it; ruled out
NR	First Ascent Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	156	t	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Good efforts in defeat on Flat giving rating of 77; of obvious interest given partnership
NR	Shanliss Tricks Bay J:Eoghan Finegan(7) T:P E Collins	J:Eoghan Finegan(7) T:P E Collins	149	h	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Half-sister to two winners; hooded for debut and probably best watched; reserve

Good bumper debut but not same level since and tailed off over hurdles last time; reserve
