5	Echoing Silence Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	151	—	1/51-1	-	141	105	37d	—	—	-3	23	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Point/bumper winner, much too strong for Divaboriva at Cork, can continue to prosper
3	Chosen Comrade Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	151	—	1-11	-	132	56	51d	—	—	-10	14.3	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Unbeaten in a point/bumper/maiden hurdle, not an easy task against six older rivals
7	Switch From Diesel Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh Meyler T:Ross O'Sullivan	151	—	2112-2	-	137	28	23d	—	—	-13	13	0.63/1	5/2 29%
Very smart in bumpers, Flat winner, may find the improvement required after Navan defeat
1	Amen Kate Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Thomas Cooper	J:Sean Flanagan T:Thomas Cooper	151	—	444-31	-	130	77	44d	—	—	-8	3.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Useful in bumpers, satisfactory hurdling debut before a straightforward task at Galway
6	Neon Diamond Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	151	p	73P-14	118	139	102	121d	—	—	+12	18.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Stable is in superb form but this one is likely to find a few too good at this level
4	Divaboriva Grey J:Mr A P Ryan T:Jonathan Sweeney	J:Mr A P Ryan T:Jonathan Sweeney	151	—	63-225	118	140	100	2d	—	—	+13	18.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%

Won twice in points, fair form over hurdles, others have much superior credentials
