Recent Punchestown third puts him in the mix; would appreciate some drying in the ground

Good recent form; back in trip here and could go well on ground he handles

Clear Cork second rates a big player again off 4lb higher if handling conditions
2	Lambay Island Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	165	—	0444-3	109	112	73	35d	—	—	+4	23.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Recent C&D novice third a potential improver entering handicaps and shortlisted

5yo with potential for more but opening mark high enough on what he's achieved
5	Miss Mini Bee Chestnut J:Alex Harvey T:Patrick T Foley	J:Alex Harvey T:Patrick T Foley	161	ht	2660-5	105	112	100	18d	—	—	+9	15.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Opening handicap efforts leave her with fair bit to find, entitled to come on for latest
13	Kazbek Chestnut J:Danny Mullins T:Peter Fahey	J:Danny Mullins T:Peter Fahey	150	b	868603	94	114	100	33d	—	—	+9	15.8	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Recent Limerick maiden third a career-best; returns to handicap ranks with claims

Back from brief stint chasing; trip no problem but ground could be
8	Arctic Piper Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	156	t	954F-0	100	117	100	194d	—	—	+9	13.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Handicap debut at Cork in May moderate, best watched on return from 6 months' absence

Hasn't looked progressive, cheekpieces reached for on second handicap attempt

Hard to fancy on recent form but worth a market watch all the same
