Clear second to a well-fancied rival last time, needs to jump better but can win a maiden
1	Arcadian Emperor Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	166	—	1-4	-	-	-	29d	—	—	-8	13.2	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Point winner for Sam Curling, may not have been suited by moderate gallop in a 2m4f bumper
2	Did I Ask You That Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	166	t	0/3-S3	-	120	26	24d	—	—	-9	6.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Lightly raced since second in a bumper in 2022, blowing hard after a tame run at Tramore
5	Kilgame Black J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	166	t	2/53-3	-	118	87	30d	—	—	-7	10.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Shaped well at Leopardstown last month on first run since last March, strong contender
4	Genepi George Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:M M Lynch	J:Sean Flanagan T:M M Lynch	166	—	8-53	-	102	66	27d	—	—	-3	1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Promising run at Navan before a fair third at Limerick, this company looks more demanding
13	True Harmony Bay J:J J Slevin T:Seamus Neville	J:J J Slevin T:Seamus Neville	166	—	P-1	-	-	-	—	—	—	+7	9.7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Mahler gelding, good pedigree, looked useful when winning a point for Gary Murphy last May
10	Sharu Bay J:Mike O'Connor T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Mike O'Connor T:Henry De Bromhead	166	—	7	-	-	-	30d	—	—	-1	0.5	25.00/1	100/1 1%

Showed ability in bumpers, will need more hurdling experience judged on Limerick run
3	Embrace The Day Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	166	—	10	-	89	52	14d	—	—	+6	7.4	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Point winner last spring, should be better for recent hurdling debut, stable back in form
9	Regno Bay J:Ross Berry(7) T:C A Murphy	J:Ross Berry(7) T:C A Murphy	166	—	5	-	-	-	28d	—	—	-1	0.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Hinted at ability in a bumper at Leopardstown but not a likely winner at this stage

Not a bad effort in a bumper early in the month, likely to need hurdling experience
16	Walkingmayotomilan Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Danny Gilligan T:Ross O'Sullivan	159	—	232P	-	-	-	—	—	—	+4	5.3	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Placed in three of her four runs in points for Colin Bowe, pulled up when favourite latest

Fell in a point, remote sixth at Clonmel on hurdling debut, can be ruled out
12	Thankyouforthedays Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:J P Dempsey	J:Donagh Meyler T:J P Dempsey	166	—	8-400	-	89	72	16d	—	—	-1	0.3	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Down the field in two maiden hurdles, well held by Newbrook Diamond on running here
14	Rathbawn Soldier Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	J:Simon Torrens T:Patrick T Foley	159	h	00	-	100	87	16d	1W/1P 1 run	—	-1	0.3	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Two midfield finishes in large-field maidens, will need to qualify for a handicap mark
