Grade 1 winner over hurdles; chase debut was encouraging; below par since in a Grade 1
3	Fishery Lane Grey J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	166	—	PP-7F3	128	128	104	35d	—	—	+10	23.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Hasn't got a lot going over fences this season and this trip is on the short side for him
2	Dr Eggman Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	166	—	129-83	-	126	75	22d	—	—	-8	3.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Encouraging third at Fairyhouse but relying on Salvator Mundi fluffing his lines
7	Scalpnagoon Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	166	—	118P-0	-	-	-	80d	—	—	-5	1.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Lost his way over hurdles after winning twice; bit to prove on this chasing debut
10	Nytol Bay J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	J:John Shinnick(3) T:Terence O'Brien	159	—	42-11P	-	-	-	186d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	-4	1.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Dual hurdle winner; probably vulnerable against some of these on her chasing debut
11	Shellrunforbriggs Bay J:E Walsh T:Michael Winters	J:E Walsh T:Michael Winters	157	h	89616	-	-	-	19d	—	—	+5	7.8	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Maiden hurdle winner; unlikely to be troubling the best of these even if taking to fences
8	Stuntman Steve Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	166	—	129007	-	70	-	22d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-1	1.8	20.00/1	80/1 1%
28-1 for chase debut at Fairyhouse and was behind Dr Eggman and Reliable Prince

Tailed off in a beginners chase and recent pointing exploits just as discouraging
4	Major Wells Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Gerard Edmund O'Leary	J:Sean Flanagan T:Gerard Edmund O'Leary	166	p	PP/P-0	-	-	-	27d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Pulled up in his two points and has looked very limited over hurdles

Beaten 15l in his only completion in four runs in 3m points; hard to recommend
