#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
5 (8)	Iff In Doubt Bay J:W J Lee T:Edward Lynam	J:W J Lee T:Edward Lynam	130	t	034-41	62	75	58	21d	—	—	-18	12.4	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Has adapted well to this surface, raised 5lb for a 7f win, should remain competitive
2 (9)	Pliny Bay J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	J:Colin Keane T:Noel Meade	137	—	3507-2	69	76	39	14d	—	—	-4	15.5	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Best maiden form gives him a good chance, has an edge over Kactus Jack on recent form
4 (2)	Dawn Flame Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Paul W Flynn	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Paul W Flynn	134	—	70-814	66	70	42	28d	—	—	-6	8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Failed to see out a longer trip here last time, better judged on C&D win in January
3 (1)	Personified Chestnut J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	135	—	785	67	71	37	37d	—	—	-6	8.3	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Big price on all three maiden attempts, worth a market check now on handicap debut
6 (5)	Keepsgettingbetter Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	J:Chris Hayes T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	126	—	00-0	58	66	51	14d	—	—	-4	4.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Hinted at potential improvement here two weeks ago although might prefer further than this
7 (4)	Brave Approach Bay J:Reese Holohan(7) T:Jarlath P Fahey	J:Reese Holohan(7) T:Jarlath P Fahey	122	—	009-1	54	72	39	7d	—	—	+5	13.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Was able to dominate to win at 33-1 here last Friday, fellow outsider Ramair back in third
9 (6)	Ramair Bay J:Julian Pietropaolo(7) T:Richard Anthony Foley	J:Julian Pietropaolo(7) T:Richard Anthony Foley	119	—	09-03	51	71	45	7d	—	—	-5	2.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Weak form in maidens, found his level when third to Brave Approach last week
1 (3)	Kactus Jack Bay J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:Gerard O'Leary	140	—	660-4	72	74	25	14d	—	—	+3	6.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Debut run remains his best form, has a bit to find with Pliny on running in a claimer
8 (7)	Elora Prince Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Kieran P Cotter	J:Leigh Roche T:Kieran P Cotter	121	—	6700-0	53	61	35	21d	—	—	-1	1.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Soundly beaten all four nursery runs, down the field behind Iff In Doubt three weeks ago.
