9	Duffys Hodey Bay J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	141	p	12-212	95	124	107	19d	—	—	-3	17.4	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Limerick winner was possibly unlucky not to follow up at Tramore, should go close
4	Lucky Lyreen Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	165	p	05-905	119	127	94	19d	—	—	+4	23	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Useful hurdler, two wins and rated 129, nothing of note over fences yet, cheekpieces added
2	Al Kalila Bay J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	166	—	/14-23	120	129	120	44d	—	—	+5	22.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Placed in small-field handicap chases at Kelso, needs to raise his game on the home front
1	Born Braver Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	168	p	5-9096	122	121	71	20d	—	—	+6	23	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Return to a longer trip may suit since he won twice in points and also won a 3m hurdle
7	Diamond Dollar Brown J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	153	—	-U6511	107	127	79	9d	—	—	+22	34.6	1.50/1	6/1 14%
In control before the last on chase debut at Punchestown, big chance despite 15lb rise
8	Shantou Show Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Noel C Kelly	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Noel C Kelly	149	tp	8-7658	103	125	105	54d	—	—	+8	15.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
No success since two hunter chases wins in 2023, unplaced in four starts for this yard
3	Whatcouldhavebeen Bay J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:Jarlath P Fahey	J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:Jarlath P Fahey	166	p	04-766	120	123	84	24d	—	—	+15	18.4	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Nowhere near her best over fences, 12lb below her hurdles rating but hard to fancy
6	Stormy Judge Grey J:Richard Condon(5) T:P A Fahy	J:Richard Condon(5) T:P A Fahy	155	—	7F-67P	109	124	86	37d	—	—	+13	15.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Declining mark has failed to spark a revival in fortunes, pulled up at Navan last month

Four of his five wins have come at Fairyhouse, recent form does not inspire confidence
