In front of shorter-priced rivals Destivelle and Getaway Henry over C&D, each-way chance

Now 0-16 over hurdles, not a lost cause on the evidence of recent C&D third placing

Finished behind Midnight Eagle and Destivelle here last time, not beaten far, blinkers now

Returned from a long layoff with a pleasing run at Listowel, pulled up since at Killarney
6	Tudorista Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	160	—	4489	92	99	80	41d	—	—	+5	12.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Fourth in two of her three maiden hurdle starts, every chance she can be competitive here
2	I Feel Fine Black J:Daniel King T:M A Molloy	J:Daniel King T:M A Molloy	164	—	88-0	95	98	44	40d	—	—	+8	12.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Soundly beaten in three maidens, showed enough to suggest he could be competitive now
13	Nusra Bay J:J J Slevin T:G Ahern	J:J J Slevin T:G Ahern	148	p	P/32-7	79	103	73	169d	—	—	+4	8.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Three-time Flat winner, two decent handicap hurdle runs in April imply a definite chance
R20	Bay Brook Bay J:Eoin G Kelly(7) T:Adrian Murray	J:Eoin G Kelly(7) T:Adrian Murray	161	—	940-P8	93	105	64	18d	—	—	+8	12	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Second reserve, one promising maiden hurdle run as a juvenile, has failed to build on that
4	Struck Oil Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	163	—	70-00	95	100	50	19d	—	—	+8	12.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Big price on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, well held by The Border Boy on that running
8	Dalmatic Bay J:Philip Byrnes T:W J O'Doherty	J:Philip Byrnes T:W J O'Doherty	156	—	00348-	87	101	-	188d	—	—	+8	12	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Best form has been in races over 2m3f at Naas and 3m at Clonmel, this may be too short
10	Maralinga Bay J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	155	t	0-0900	86	103	77	14d	—	—	+6	10.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Sole win gained in 2021 on his second start; recent efforts do not inspire confidence
1	Answering Bay J:Cian Quirke T:Timothy Doyle	J:Cian Quirke T:Timothy Doyle	168	—	F-098U	99	104	77	40d	—	—	+10	13.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
C&D winner, has run well here on other occasions, hard to make a case for him on 2025 form
5	Friar Hogan Bay J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Donal Hassett	J:Eoin Staples(7) T:Donal Hassett	160	—	0-06	92	92	20	24d	—	—	+8	11.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Ordinary form in maidens, does not seem well handicapped but in good hands, may improve
9	Park Rules Bay J:Danny Mullins T:Ian O'Connor	J:Danny Mullins T:Ian O'Connor	156	h	500-00	87	101	16	52d	—	—	+7	10.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
