Classy dual-purpose sort, sharper for latest, Cobden has won on him before, obvious chance

Galway Hurdle winner, ahead of Absurde in County last time, every chance at weights
2	Soir De Garde Bay J:John Shinnick T:W P Mullins	J:John Shinnick T:W P Mullins	161	—	231-2	130	138	72	34d	—	—	+17	28.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Tramore maiden winner, well behind El Fabiolo latest, Absurde looks yard's main hope
6	No Looking Back Grey J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	156	tb	00-P04	119	140	105	34d	—	—	+14	18.4	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Smart in younger days, has lost way, poorly treated by these race conditions
1	Sageborough Bay J:Richard Deegan T:Paul Nolan	J:Richard Deegan T:Paul Nolan	161	—	17F	126	133	99	26d	—	—	+20	23.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Impressive on debut, struggled in two graded races, rated 126, a lot to find
4	Busselton Bay J:Rian Lane(7) T:E Bolger	J:Rian Lane(7) T:E Bolger	156	—	1-3259	134	147	115	114d	—	—	+26	28.8	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Last two runs over the banks, new yard, trip a query, tough task at the weights
7	Therellbguddaysyet Bay J:G B Noonan T:Paul O'Flynn	J:G B Noonan T:Paul O'Flynn	156	—	30376-	-	123	114	356d	—	—	+1	2.5	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Maiden hurdle winner, rated just 108, lacks a recent run, would be a shock winner
