Recent C&D third was encouraging; handles these conditions too

Recent all-the-way C&D winner in testing conditions; 8lb higher now in a better race
3 (17)	Greek Flower Bay J:Shane Foley T:John James Feane	J:Shane Foley T:John James Feane	137	p	695540	76	82	75	37d	—	—	-3	10.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
2023 winner hasn't won since; tough ask last time, back to his level here
13 (4)	Noble Nation Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Gerard O'Leary	J:J M Sheridan T:Gerard O'Leary	129	—	51-100	68	88	63	29d	—	1W/1P 1 run	-4	7.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Blew start last time; ground in his favour here and could step up on recent efforts
1 (13)	Jon Riggens Bay J:Ben Coen T:Edward Lynam	J:Ben Coen T:Edward Lynam	140	tv	053882	79	87	64	5d	—	—	+6	16	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Last year's winner finished a good second over C&D a week ago; big player
4 (6)	Staysound Susie Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	137	p	034043	76	88	73	5d	—	—	+4	12.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Close C&D third last week; has form on soft, definite contender
16 (1)	Rosato Bay J:N G McCullagh T:Charles Weld	J:N G McCullagh T:Charles Weld	124	—	014455	63	85	80	17d	—	—	+1	7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Consistent enough of late but likely testing ground probably not ideal
11 (5)	Mercurial Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:John J Nallen	J:Seamie Heffernan T:John J Nallen	131	p	-00084	70	83	53	28d	—	—	+1	6.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
C&D winner likes testing conditions and Listowel run was encouraging
5 (3)	Laugh A Minute Bay J:Colin Keane T:Stephen Thorne	J:Colin Keane T:Stephen Thorne	135	tp	136004	74	89	71	17d	—	—	+2	8.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Way off his prime but encouraging signs in headgear latest; Keane takes over
12 (14)	Salah Belle Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	131	—	549-09	70	87	67	29d	—	—	+1	6.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Returned from long absence for two middling runs last month, lots more required now
9 (10)	Storm Averted Bay J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	133	t	074187	72	87	76	13d	—	—	+6	12.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Form is over further; others preferred back in trip
2 (2)	Likedbymike Bay J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:M J Byrne	J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:M J Byrne	140	p	075023	80	92	81	10d	—	—	+11	15.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Knocking on the door of late in handicaps but stiffer stamina test may not be ideal
8 (11)	Mile End Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Ciaran Murphy	134	b	960-07	73	87	40	19d	—	—	+3	6.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Back in trip here and McMonagle booked but not an obvious one on recent form
17 (12)	Polar Bear Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mrs John Harrington	123	b	7494-0	62	70	78	45d	—	—	+1	3.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Entitled to come on for last month's comeback run and blinkers replace cheekpieces
15 (7)	Gordon Bennett Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Richard Brabazon	J:Gavin Ryan T:Richard Brabazon	125	p	770346	64	88	57	17d	—	—	+3	5.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Not that easy to win with but can't be ruled out with cheekpieces belatedly tried
7 (8)	Ardeur Brown J:Robyn Donaghue-Leahy(7) T:Patrick J Flynn	J:Robyn Donaghue-Leahy(7) T:Patrick J Flynn	134	p	775298	74	91	58	17d	—	—	+7	9.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Trips too far of late; back in trip here with cheekpieces tried
14 (9)	Evangelic Grey J:Adam Caffrey T:R K Watson	J:Adam Caffrey T:R K Watson	128	—	30-404	68	83	46	8d	—	—	+4	4.8	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Two poor recent runs for current yard over longer trips and now drops markedly in distance
