Promising in two bumper runs a year apart, fifth to Kopek Des Bordes on only hurdles run
23	Munsif Chestnut J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	156	—	353	121	124	124	42d	—	—	+3	30.7	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Overall form implies a likely preference for better ground, has been keeping good company
11	Kilgame Black J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	166	t	/53-34	122	124	108	55d	—	—	+2	24.7	0.75/1	3/1 25%
Had plenty to spare over Newbrook Diamond in a race over further, form could be misleading
8	Famous Figure Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	166	—	8-7162	-	112	80	17d	—	0W/1P 1 run	-12	5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Pleasing run behind a hot favourite at Naas, Jack Kennedy prefers him to Newbrook Diamond
7	Cloudio Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	166	—	12-054	-	100	63	17d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-3	1.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Point winners, second in a bumper, two fair hurdle runs, well held by Famous Figure
15	Theabsolutegov'nor Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W R Crawford	J:Danny Mullins T:W R Crawford	166	—	80	-	83	67	96d	—	—	-2	0.7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Fair run in a Galway bumper, may improve from a hurdles run at Naas in December
18	Baby Fish Bay J:Ben Harvey T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Ben Harvey T:Gavin Cromwell	159	—	6	-	81	37	21d	—	—	-1	0.5	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Beaten almost 50l when sixth in a ten-runner C&D maiden on debut, best watched for now
3	Blue Du Neuf Bay J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	166	t	574P	-	98	78	21d	—	—	-2	0.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Remote fourth on hurdling debut over C&D; jumped badly in 2m6f event here last time
5	Chopsticks Bay J:Shane Fitzsimons(7) T:John C McConnell	J:Shane Fitzsimons(7) T:John C McConnell	166	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
One win from 22 starts on the Flat, placed eight times; likely to need jumping experience
24	Youknowthecode Bay J:Ricky Doyle T:Gordon Elliott	J:Ricky Doyle T:Gordon Elliott	156	—	86	-	87	-	21d	—	—	-2	0.6	50.00/1	200/1 0%
No sign of winning potential at this early stage, stable has two strong contenders
6	Cloonbonniffe Bay J:Ryan Treacy T:Mark Michael McNiff	J:Ryan Treacy T:Mark Michael McNiff	166	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.5	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Half-brother to winners Nancy Wyse (point and bumper) and Earthly Reason (point)
R27	Poet's Gale Bay J:Daniel King T:A J Martin	J:Daniel King T:A J Martin	166	—	5807	-	80	39	46d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Reserve, has hinted at ability in two maiden hurdle outings, future may lie in handicaps
12	Lanzhou Bay J:Shane Fitzgerald T:J P Flavin	J:Shane Fitzgerald T:J P Flavin	166	—	440	-	-	-	14d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Mild promise in points; completely tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Gowran a fortnight ago
17	Auntie Ida Chestnut J:Mr D G Lavery T:Patrick Eugene Turley	J:Mr D G Lavery T:Patrick Eugene Turley	159	—	409	-	90	38	34d	—	—	-1	0.4	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Fourth in a bumper at Punchestown; soundly beaten in two hurdle races at the same venue

Remote fourth of five finishers in a maiden point at Borris House, unlikely to feature
20	Orinoco Walk Bay J:Alex Harvey T:Riceal Dunne	J:Alex Harvey T:Riceal Dunne	159	—	4975	-	107	34	18d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Well beaten in three bumpers, failed to get into contention on hurdling debut
25	Boogie Inthejungle Chestnut J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Gavin Cromwell	149	—	0F	-	79	-	14d	—	—	-1	0.4	50.00/1	200/1 0%
0-6 on the Flat, rated a modest 60. no encouragement from his first two hurdle starts
22	Mac An Fiach Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	156	—	P	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.4	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Struggling at half way when pulled up in a maiden point last month, can be discounted
4	Calm Flight Ahead Brown J:Miss P Elvin(7) T:P J Rothwell	J:Miss P Elvin(7) T:P J Rothwell	166	—	PUP00	-	78	43	16d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Failed to complete in three outings in points, has posed no threat in two hurdle starts
13	Microscope Brown J:Michael Kenneally(5) T:Peter Buchanan	J:Michael Kenneally(5) T:Peter Buchanan	166	—	P/55-0	-	26	-	60d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Pulled up all four starts in points, two ordinary bumper runs, tailed off on hurdles debut
19	Castlerock Lady Grey J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Patrick Downey	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Patrick Downey	159	—	0-0	-	45	-	66d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Huge price in maiden Naas and Fairyhouse and has run accordingly
21	Clonbury Court Bay J:E Walsh T:J P Dempsey	J:E Walsh T:J P Dempsey	156	—	0P	-	44	-	27d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Unable to make any impact in outings at Fairyhouse and Naas, no apparent chance.
26	Ur My Fav Bay J:Dylan Kidd(7) T:John C McConnell	J:Dylan Kidd(7) T:John C McConnell	149	t	U0	-	45	-	13d	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Unseated at the second over C&D on debut, 200-1 when tailed off at Naas, can be ruled out
NR	Always Scoring Bay J:Jordan Canavan(7) T:J P Flavin	J:Jordan Canavan(7) T:J P Flavin	166	—	316	-	79	18	28d	—	—	—	8.5	—	—
Point winner, staying pedigree, found 2m too sharp at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut
NR	Fun Daddy Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Kieren Buckley T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	166	—	5	-	92	3	132d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Promise on debut, open to improvement but has plenty to find with Newbrook Diamond

Useful if not exactly progressive, blinkers and a return to a left-handed track may help
NR	Zarushio Bay J:Alix Balfe(7) T:Tom Dreaper	J:Alix Balfe(7) T:Tom Dreaper	166	—	900	-	72	26	17d	—	0W/0P 1 run	—	0	—	—
Nothing in his three runs suggests he can be competitive in a maiden of this standard
