Showed promise when fourth on debut in a valuable 17-runner Fairyhouse bumper in April
10	Zeus Power Bay J:Richard Deegan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Richard Deegan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	166	—	232	-	115	106	23d	—	—	-4	15.3	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Placed on both starts in bumpers, chased home favourite on hurdling debut, could go close
3	Luker's Tipple Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	166	b	262239	118	123	75	20d	—	—	+12	27.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Very experienced, runner-up on six occasions, may have to settle for minor honours again

Faded into fourth after a prominent run at Punchestown, 4 1/2l to find with Zeus Power

Fourth over 2m4f at this venue on second hurdles run, appears held by runner-up Zeus Power

Placed twice, third in a C&D maiden a month ago, this looks like a stronger race.
6	Moon Mission Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	166	—	386383	-	84	24	23d	—	—	+2	5.4	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Remote third behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance here last time, place chance
4	Maxicourt Bay J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Patrick J Duffy	J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Patrick J Duffy	166	—	572750	97	104	93	13d	—	—	+11	14.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Some promise earlier in the year but not enough to suggest he can play a leading part
12	Katie's Casper Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	159	t	6P-578	-	48	33	51d	—	—	-1	0.5	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Has struggled in bumpers and maiden hurdles since an initial bumper placing last year

Big price when always towards the back on debut over C&D, can be ruled out.
7	Mr Ed Chestnut J:Danny Mullins T:P A Fahy	J:Danny Mullins T:P A Fahy	166	—	—	-	64	31	25d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Never in the hunt on debut at Tramore, can be left out of calculations.

Best Flat efforts on the AW, rated 68, not an obvious contender on hurdles debut
2	Glin Road Boy Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Eugene M O'Sullivan	J:Phillip Enright T:Eugene M O'Sullivan	166	—	000P	-	48	11	18d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Three-figure odds for all three hurdle outings and has run accordingly, no apparent chance

First reserve, low-rated maiden on the Flat, down the field on hurdling debut at Navan
NR	Good Option Bay J:TBC T:Gavin Cromwell	J: T:Gavin Cromwell	166	—	2-9	-	78	32	14d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Second reserve, second in a point, may improve from his recent hurdling debut at Navan
NR	Max Meridius Bay J:TBC T:Thomas Mullins	J: T:Thomas Mullins	166	—	0-0	-	64	21	21d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Third reserve, good handicap run on the Flat in October, remote tenth on hurdling debut
