2	Gamigin Bay J:Mr O McGill(5) T:Gary McGill	J:Mr O McGill(5) T:Gary McGill	167	tp	453-00	98	104	58	38d	—	—	-1	17.2	1.00/1	4/1 20%
C&D winner; recent form none too encouraging and remains on a high enough mark
7	I Feel Fine Black J:Daniel King T:M A Molloy	J:Daniel King T:M A Molloy	161	—	8-08U6	92	97	36	22d	—	—	+1	14.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
May not have stayed 2m3f last time; drop back in trip should suit and remains of interest
12	Might Be The One Brown J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Andrew McNamara	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Andrew McNamara	155	—	098742	86	96	82	22d	—	—	+6	17.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Narrow 2m3f Limerick defeat augurs well but drop in trip may not be ideal
8	Kingdom Calling Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	J:Simon Torrens T:Eoin Christopher McCarthy	161	t	-0F497	92	102	84	25d	—	—	+3	13.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Okay C&D effort at Christmas behind Boston Bobby but hard to see him reversing that form
5	Aswellasabentley Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	164	—	P4-40P	95	99	62	25d	—	—	+4	13.9	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Favourite over C&D but never landed a blow and pulled up latest; questions to answer
1	Tsavo Park Bay J:Gavin Brouder T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Gavin Brouder T:John Joseph Hanlon	168	t	50-533	99	98	66	36d	—	—	+5	15.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Recent Naas third his best run yet; down in grade here so top-weight respected
19	Sekifi Bay J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Matthew J Smith	J:Michael Kenneally(7) T:Matthew J Smith	144	t	P/4P/0	75	34	-	65d	—	—	+1	8.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Entitled to come on from comeback run; tongue-tie tried and encouraging jockey booking
6	Lips Freedom Chestnut J:Cian Quirke T:Andrew Kinirons	J:Cian Quirke T:Andrew Kinirons	164	h	0-000	95	87	64	23d	—	—	+6	13.3	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Never counted on handicap debut at Leopardstown over Christmas; opposable off 1lb lower
9	Opposite Ends Bay J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	159	—	800-5U	90	92	15	23d	—	—	+5	12	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Trip possibly too far at Limerick; return to shorter trip to suit and yard in fine form
18	Go Gill Go Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:James Grace	J:Danny Gilligan T:James Grace	145	tb	0-0707	76	106	87	20d	—	—	+2	8.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Long losing run, 11yo showing no signs of ending the barren spell in recent starts
20	Avandra Bay J:Dylan Robinson T:P J Rothwell	J:Dylan Robinson T:P J Rothwell	141	p	5776P0	72	107	74	25d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+1	7.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Now 0-14 hurdling, good bit to find with Boston Bobby on recent C&D run
3	Verbal Sparring Bay J:Carl Millar(5) T:Desmond McDonogh	J:Carl Millar(5) T:Desmond McDonogh	167	t	1038-U	98	103	-	65d	—	—	+9	13.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Didn't get beyond the first at Navan last time; tongue-tie tried, hard to be confident in
11	Lejolicoeur Du Mou Grey J:Donagh Meyler T:J P Dempsey	J:Donagh Meyler T:J P Dempsey	155	h	0-60U0	86	91	58	38d	—	—	+6	10.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Never sighted on last month's handicap debut at Fairyhouse; hard to fancy but is unexposed
16	Copper Rocker Chestnut J:Tom Buckley T:Edward Buckley	J:Tom Buckley T:Edward Buckley	149	—	950	93	93	54	22d	—	—	+7	12	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Lightly raced 4yo, hard to make a case for on handicap debut on scant evidence
4	Surrey Force Bay J:James Smith(5) T:Thomas Gibney	J:James Smith(5) T:Thomas Gibney	166	—	800	97	93	68	23d	—	—	+9	12.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Has failed to land a blow in three maiden hurdles; opening mark probably on the high side
10	Promo Queen Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Chris Timmons	J:Kieren Buckley T:Chris Timmons	158	tp	888-P	89	92	-	—	—	—	+8	10.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
None too fluent when pulled up on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; poor AW run since
NR	Euro Maker Bay J:Kevin Healy(7) T:Adrian Murray	J:Kevin Healy(7) T:Adrian Murray	154	t	0-00P	85	103	23	38d	—	—	—	8.8	—	—
Pulled up after never counting on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last month; hard to fancy
NR	Boston Bobby Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	152	p	-5PB01	83	97	29	25d	—	—	—	17.8	—	—
Recent C&D winner up 7lb but could well play a major role again
NR	Centaq Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Dermot A McLoughlin	151	—	42290O	82	104	91	25d	—	—	—	10.5	—	—
Ran out at halfway over C&D last month in race won by Boston Bobby
NR	Creative Dancer Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	149	p	0/0-76	80	86	62	11d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Well held in handicaps and hard to fancy off just 2lb lower
NR	Jaynemax Black J:Jordan Gainford T:Thomas Dowling	J:Jordan Gainford T:Thomas Dowling	163	—	0-094	94	96	73	19d	—	—	—	11	—	—
Remote fourth in Tramore maiden latest; opening mark looks on the high side; reserve
NR	Ballyedward Bay J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	166	t	0-3680	97	101	84	11d	—	—	—	11.8	—	—
Doesn't appeal as one to make an immediate impact in handicaps off this mark; reserve
