Second on both starts over fences last month, definite chance of a breakthrough win
11	Blue Reed Bay J:Mr K P Healy(2) T:Cian Collins	J:Mr K P Healy(2) T:Cian Collins	158	t	6-8456	94	113	95	94d	—	—	+3	14.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Second in handicap hurdles over C&D and Punchestown early this year, modest overall form
10	Cosmo Renfro Bay J:Mr J M Halford T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Mr J M Halford T:Gavin Cromwell	159	p	P50-PP	95	112	-	163d	—	—	+4	14.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Makes debut for Gavin Cromwell, 4lb below his last winning mark; worth a market check
2	On Your Way Brown J:Mr A D Bustin(2) T:C Byrnes	J:Mr A D Bustin(2) T:C Byrnes	168	—	79641-	104	103	59	287d	—	—	+15	26.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Signed off last season with a 2m win at Limerick, could feature if fit and ready
3	Dgalwaygallivantor Bay J:Mr B M Coonan(2) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Mr B M Coonan(2) T:Gavin Cromwell	166	t	69/13-	102	105	10	409d	—	—	+4	16.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Good chance if reappearing in the same form as when third at last year's Listowel festival
6	Are You Busy Bay J:Mr J P Collins(4) T:Rodger Sweeney	J:Mr J P Collins(4) T:Rodger Sweeney	164	—	64418-	100	110	97	222d	—	—	+13	21.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Down the field over 3m in his first handicap, maiden win was gained at around this trip
4	Fool Me Once Bay J:Miss C O O'Brien(2) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Miss C O O'Brien(2) T:Gavin Cromwell	166	t	254305	102	106	90	23d	—	—	+9	16.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Yet to score in 12 runs over hurdles, seems best suited by good going, tongue-tie may help
8	Rowdy Bay J:Mr Alan O'Sullivan T:Eugene M O'Sullivan	J:Mr Alan O'Sullivan T:Eugene M O'Sullivan	161	—	F6-584	97	107	38	23d	—	—	+7	13.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Poor run over 2m at Listowel, remote fourth over 3m at Limerick last time, 2m4f may help
9	Carlas Big Jim Grey J:Mr Andrew Burke-Ott T:L J Archdeacon	J:Mr Andrew Burke-Ott T:L J Archdeacon	159	—	550560	95	105	51	5d	—	—	+4	14	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Two wins over hurdles, not much in his recent chase form to encourage support
12	I Feel Fine Black J:Mr C J Shine T:M A Molloy	J:Mr C J Shine T:M A Molloy	156	—	88-08	92	106	41	12d	—	—	+1	14.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Never seriously involved at Thurles in his first handicap, still early days, may improve
7	Hatfield Hammer Bay J:Mr E P Cloke(4) T:Paul Nolan	J:Mr E P Cloke(4) T:Paul Nolan	162	p	-1256P	98	107	96	41d	—	—	+10	15.6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Reverts to hurdling after two poor displays in chases, stablemate of less exposed Sean Mc
15	Sean Mc Bay J:Mr S Cotter(2) T:Paul Nolan	J:Mr S Cotter(2) T:Paul Nolan	153	—	7090-	89	99	64	222d	—	—	+5	11.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Could slot into handicaps effectively, highly capable young point-to-point rider booked
5	Matter Of Opinion Bay J:Ms L A Byrne(2) T:William Harvey	J:Ms L A Byrne(2) T:William Harvey	166	tp	0-96P5	102	111	70	23d	—	—	+7	15.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Remote fifth at Limerick last month, has almost 4l to find with fourth-placed Rowdy
13	Mullanour Bay J:Mr D Doyle T:W J Martin	J:Mr D Doyle T:W J Martin	156	—	42-FP9	92	108	-	33d	—	—	+6	12.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Uneven form in low-grade handicaps over hurdles, twice runner-up, others much preferred
1	Teescomponentsyess Bay J:Ms K M Ryan(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Ms K M Ryan(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	172	tp	32715/	108	109	-	614d	—	—	+20	24.8	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Has a long absence to overcome and is probably best watched in the circumstances
R18	Ladyeze Man b/br J:Mr J C Canavan T:J P Flavin	J:Mr J C Canavan T:J P Flavin	147	t	006P-P	83	102	-	16d	—	—	+3	10.3	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Pulled up on final start last season and again on reappearance at Wexford, 5lb wrong
R17	Shanroe Act Chestnut J:Mr B Barry(2) T:Karl Thornton	J:Mr B Barry(2) T:Karl Thornton	147	—	0/850/	83	98	-	643d	—	—	+4	9.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Absent since last of 16 over C&D in February 2024, transformation required to feature

Pulled up or tailed off since a long-priced Ballinrobe win early last season, no appeal
