Better than ever this season and unlucky not to be closer at Cheltenham (2m5f handicap)

Eyecatching novice form; should be all the sharper for his belated return at Gowran
1	The Yellow Clay Bay J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jack Kennedy T:Gordon Elliott	166	p	2F-25F	155	159	115	26d	—	—	+16	30.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Classy novice; going okay when departing three out in a handicap at Cheltenham
9	Slade Steel Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	157	tp	2-2B26	-	159	-	25d	—	—	-4	6.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
0-7 since winning the 2024 Supreme and has been chasing; cheekpieces given a go

Appreciated the drop in grade when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas; commands respect
5	Bowensonfire Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	157	h	332110	148	164	141	24d	—	—	+34	40.2	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Admirably consistent handicapper; Jack Kennedy prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay
4	Blizzard Of Oz Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	157	—	-1P0P1	-	155	120	32d	—	—	+8	11.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Still below his best when winning at Thurles; Paul Townend deserts him for Storm Heart
6	Brewin'upastorm Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	157	tp	8/5542	-	161	109	43d	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Previous winner of this race but well into the veteran stage and looks vulnerable
7	Farren Glory Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	157	p	33-33P	144	159	140	26d	—	—	+21	24.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Held by some of these and last time he was pulled up in a handicap at Cheltenham
10	Grainne A Chroi Bay J:John Shinnick T:Miss M Harding	J:John Shinnick T:Miss M Harding	153	—	0142-1	129	146	136	47d	—	—	+28	30.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
This is more demanding against male opposition and has her work cut out at the weights
