Hiked up cumulative 13lb for two wins, go well again but yet to race on left-handed track
2	Stone Forest Bay J:John Shinnick(3) T:Eoin Doyle	J:John Shinnick(3) T:Eoin Doyle	165	b	-83314	97	98	79	29d	—	—	+10	25.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
C&D winner on penultimate, well held at Listowel latest, return to this track offers hope

Decent runs first two handicaps, 2m6f possibly stretched latest, this trip could suit
9	Duce Bigalow Bay J:J J Slevin T:Seamus Neville	J:J J Slevin T:Seamus Neville	152	—	08070-	82	100	76	223d	—	—	+1	10.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Modest form in maidens and in first two handicaps, down 3lb, off since March, needs more
3	The Toothpicker Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:David Kenneth Budds	J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:David Kenneth Budds	164	h	/0/7/4	94	98	12	22d	—	—	+4	13.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Nice effort after mammoth layoff at Gowran, chance if he comes on for that run
11	Ladyeze Man b/br J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:J P Flavin	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:J P Flavin	151	p	6006P-	81	92	-	213d	—	—	+3	9.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Pulled up when last seen at Clonmel in March, cheekpieces tried, others preferred
12	Avandra Bay J:Peter Smithers(7) T:P J Rothwell	J:Peter Smithers(7) T:P J Rothwell	147	—	46-577	77	101	74	103d	—	—	+1	9.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Below par in cheekpieces last twice (discarded), off 103 days, needs to rebound
13	Ballinaboola Jet Bay J:Richard Deegan T:R Donohoe	J:Richard Deegan T:R Donohoe	146	—	098P97	76	100	94	12d	—	—	+3	7.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Improved run at Punchestown latest, down 1lb, place chance if builds on that
7	Roccabaker Bay J:Cian Quirke T:David Harry Kelly	J:Cian Quirke T:David Harry Kelly	155	t	07F7/9	85	99	19	30d	—	—	+5	10.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Strip fitter for h'cap and stable debut after long layoff, bred to stay
5	Halsafari Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:James M Barcoe	J:Donagh Meyler T:James M Barcoe	160	—	2/003/	90	100	-	735d	—	—	+11	14.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Off the track a long time, will surely need this on stable bow, best form on softer ground
1	Amboyna Bay J:Niall Moore(5) T:John E & Thomas Kiely	J:Niall Moore(5) T:John E & Thomas Kiely	168	—	-664U5	98	96	61	17d	—	—	+10	12.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Handicap debutante, below par recently, opening mark doesn't look a gift
8	Cruisin Susan Bay J:Mr J P Berry(7) T:J A Berry	J:Mr J P Berry(7) T:J A Berry	152	—	09-0P5	82	96	18	23d	—	—	+6	8.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won twice in 2024, 7lb below her last win but hard to fancy on this year's form
NR	Alright George Chestnut J:Kieren Buckley T:P J Rothwell	J:Kieren Buckley T:P J Rothwell	151	p	00060-	81	91	54	272d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
Well held in first two h'caps, eased 3lb but more needed down in trip, lacks a recent run
