Won over just short of 1m4f in France, runner-up won over hurdles at Pau on Christmas Eve

Probably does not need to improve much from Fairyhouse and and Navan run to score here
4	Immediate Effect Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	154	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-13	5.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Won twice on AW for Sir Mark Prescott, stablemate Wackestone has jumping experience

Won over 1m6f for Ballydoyle, half-brother to Capri and to Fred Winter winner Brazil

Mild promise in two runs over hurdles, will probably need to obtain a handicap mark

Best watched in a race in which stablemates Wackestone and Immediate Effect are preferred
1	Blue Moon Boy Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Andrew Kinirons	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Andrew Kinirons	154	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Two Flat wins, rated 76 at season's end, could feature with a clean round of jumping.
12	Louie's Folly Chestnut J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	147	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.5	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Best Flat run a second over 2m1f at Pontefract, best watched on Irish and hurdling debut.
8	Padre Bay Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:Thomas Cleary	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:Thomas Cleary	154	t	7	-	66	-	5d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Weak form on Flat, jumping was untidy when tailed off on hurdling debut at Limerick
10	Stone Rulya Bay J:Paddy Cody(7) T:Eoin Doyle	J:Paddy Cody(7) T:Eoin Doyle	154	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Not a likely debut winner over hurdles on the evidence of four Flat starts for Ger Lyons
13	Real Petite Bay J:Danny Mullins T:Thomas Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:Thomas Mullins	147	—	988	90	89	46	78d	—	—	+9	10.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Weak form on the Flat, the same in her first three starts over hurdles, can be ruled out.
3	Folk Warrior Chestnut J:Gavin Brouder T:J A Nash	J:Gavin Brouder T:J A Nash	154	—	—	-	72	40	57d	—	—	-1	0.3	50.00/1	200/1 0%
No sign of ability on the Flat, towards the rear at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut
