5	Spillane's Tower Bay J:Mark Walsh T:James Joseph Mangan	J:Mark Walsh T:James Joseph Mangan	159	—	1/252-	130	151	-	193d	—	—	+2	38.8	0.34/1	11/8 42%
Top-class chaser, potentially thrown in here since he is 33lb higher over fences
6	Sysko Brown J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	155	—	4-172	126	139	122	43d	—	—	+6	24.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Second in a 2m4f contest at Listowel on handicap debut, likely to make his presence felt
14	The Nagger Reidy Bay J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Stephen Gerard Carey	J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Stephen Gerard Carey	140	—	U523-2	111	139	127	14d	—	—	+9	24.7	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Decent form in handicap of a weaker standard, interesting with rider claiming a useful 7lb
7	Sommesky Chestnut J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	154	—	/4176-	125	134	117	245d	—	—	+15	27.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Found 2m too sharp in a Grade 2 novice race here in March, respected on overall form
12	Letos Bay J:Danny Mullins T:Anthony Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:Anthony Mullins	148	—	7242-2	119	139	111	34d	—	—	+14	25.3	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Still a maiden but not a forlorn hope here, probably found 2m inadequate at Tipperary
8	Pour Les Filles Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	153	—	3/2-17	124	143	99	15d	—	—	+20	25	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Failed to stay 3m when unplaced favourite at Cheltenham 15 days ago, could do better now
10	Linden Arden Bay J:Brian Hayes T:David Harry Kelly	J:Brian Hayes T:David Harry Kelly	150	—	3-F9P1	121	139	110	25d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+16	21.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Exploited hlower hurdles mark in a Punchestown race over this trip, still below chase mark
2	Backtonormal b/br J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	164	—	/5961-	135	143	-	280d	—	—	+28	32.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Lacks a recent run but his hurdles mark is 8lb lower than his current chase rating
1	Staffordshire Knot Bay J:Carl Millar(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Carl Millar(5) T:Gordon Elliott	166	b	65099-	137	144	131	202d	—	—	+19	22.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Has become disappointing since the season before last, needs to find his form again
13	Positive Thinker Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	142	—	24/32-	113	142	63	371d	—	—	+13	16.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Better known as a staying handicap chaser, would go well if ready to do himself justice
11	Catch The Beast Bay J:E Walsh T:Edward Cawley	J:E Walsh T:Edward Cawley	148	t	5/0PF-	119	142	-	245d	—	—	+15	18	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Failed to take to chasing last season, 14lb above his winning mark, faces a stiff task
3	Eagles Reign Bay J:Shane Markey(7) T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Shane Markey(7) T:Ross O'Sullivan	159	p	7002-U	130	137	111	36d	—	—	+18	20.7	16.50/1	66/1 1%

Has had two runs over fences for Enda Bolger, up against it on return to hurdling
9	Digby Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	150	t	12U300	121	141	110	15d	—	—	+19	20.2	31.25/1	125/1 1%
A long way below his best in two races over hurdles last month, others much more appealing
