#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1	Karbau Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	166	—	033-26	149	152	137	22d	—	—	+6	32.8	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Things didn't pan out in his favour in County Hurdle; Townend remains loyal and respected
2	Hello Neighbour Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Keith Donoghue T:Gavin Cromwell	163	h	63-570	146	152	131	22d	—	—	+14	28	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Not clear run in County when only 1l off Karbau; more needed but don't rule out
12	Messerschmitt Bay J:Michael Kenneally(5) T:Noel Meade	J:Michael Kenneally(5) T:Noel Meade	144	t	5-3804	127	155	139	28d	—	—	+10	22.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Imperial Cup fourth one for the shortlist with rider's claim a positive
10	Davy Crockett Bay J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	145	—	11105	128	156	120	27d	—	—	+23	32	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Heavy ground against him this term; unexposed on handicap debut, drying ground would suit
4	Murcia Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	156	t	14-340	139	153	125	22d	—	—	+17	24.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Didn't count in County Hurdle latest but can't be discounted on DRF run previously
13	Bokamsin Black J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	141	t	8-3541	124	155	129	31d	—	—	+14	20.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Much improved in tongue-tie to dominate at Navan; opening mark seems okay
5	Helvic Dream Bay J:Donagh Meyler T:Noel Meade	J:Donagh Meyler T:Noel Meade	154	t	525-20	137	153	133	22d	—	—	+17	23.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last year's second; comeback run in County wasn't bad and entitled to come on for that
14	Playtime Chestnut J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	141	h	8931	124	152	125	33d	—	—	+27	32.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Leopardstown maiden winner would appreciate ground drying on handicap debut
3	Puturhandstogether Bay J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Aidan Kelly(3) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	159	—	-60260	142	149	128	24d	—	—	+21	27.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Cheltenham also-ran hampered here previously; Walsh prefers Davy Crockett
11	Powerful Brown J:Simon Torrens T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Simon Torrens T:Mrs John Harrington	145	—	2-3181	128	151	110	83d	—	—	+20	24.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Dual Punchestown winner likes going right-handed; 8lb higher after a break
18	Mode Avion Bay J:Josh Williamson(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Josh Williamson(5) T:Gordon Elliott	140	t	-34312	131	158	109	23d	—	—	+31	35.4	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Progressive 4yo could go well off light weight
7	Lord Erskine Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:H Rogers	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:H Rogers	151	b	1-7120	134	154	135	62d	—	—	+25	29.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Last year's winner now a 13yo and needs a career-best to follow up
9	Zillow Bay J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:W P Mullins	J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:W P Mullins	150	tp	-110F0	133	153	125	22d	—	—	+22	25.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
C&D winner in November hasn't stayed 2m5f twice since; cheekpieces added and drops in trip
6	Sony Bill Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	153	t	50F-80	136	152	130	24d	—	—	+19	22.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Didn't stay in Coral Cup; return to 2m may suit but yard look to have stronger contenders
17	Kotkito Bello Chestnut J:Calum Hogan(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:Calum Hogan(5) T:P J Rothwell	140	p	931115	123	153	120	62d	—	—	+31	34.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Sequence ended in DRF; handicapper may have his measure now
19	Missus Beeton Bay J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:J P Dempsey	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:J P Dempsey	140	p	9-9411	123	148	121	32d	—	—	+16	19	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Hat-trick seeker has 19lb rise to overcome and 2lb wrong; still respected
8	Sea Of Sands Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Gilligan T:W P Mullins	150	t	580-1P	133	150	24	62d	—	—	+19	21.4	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Also-ran in this last year (off 1lb lower); pulled up at DRF latest, has a bit to find
16	Kalix Delabarriere Bay J:Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) T:W P Mullins	J:Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) T:W P Mullins	140	tp	210P-P	123	147	90	62d	—	—	+16	19	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Pulled up after never counting at DRF; cheekpieces added but very hard to be confident in

Ground at DRF wouldn't have suited; potential improver on better ground
