Raced a little too keenly over 1m2f last time and beaten 7l, this trip may suit better
13 (14)	Hambelton Chestnut J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	126	—	588-4	67	77	64	15d	—	—	-5	7.9	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Beaten around 8l at Cork on handicap debut, needs to find more, stable in good form lately
1 (10)	Hamiyan Bay J:Leigh Roche T:D K Weld	J:Leigh Roche T:D K Weld	138	—	9234-	79	81	85	183d	—	—	+3	15.5	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Fourth in a nursery, big chance on his Gowran third behind Classic hope Christmas Day
2 (5)	Boston Benjamin Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:Gordon Elliott	J:Colin Keane T:Gordon Elliott	136	t	740-1	77	82	38	67d	—	—	+9	19.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Narrow winner at Dundalk on handicap debut, may struggle to cope with an 8lb rise
6 (4)	Johnny Soda Chestnut J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	131	—	742-0	72	85	32	28d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-1	7.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Fair form at two, needs to improve considerably from handicap/seasonal debut at Naas
9 (3)	Mo Anam Chara Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	129	—	9642-	70	82	32	137d	—	—	+3	12.7	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Two Dundalk runs were much better than previous turf efforts, should be more mature now
12 (13)	Pass The Buck Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	127	p	007-	68	72	-	165d	—	—	-3	7.4	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ordinary form at two, similar profile to stablemate Arctic Assassin, gelded/cheekpieces
8 (6)	Down The Glen Grey J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	130	—	05821-	71	83	58	174d	—	—	+13	21	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ended last season with a progressive profile in nurseries, effective on soft/heavy
3 (9)	Gonna Be Golden Bay J:W J Lee T:A Oliver	J:W J Lee T:A Oliver	134	—	51-	75	87	-	128d	—	—	+10	18.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Game winner on the second of two 7f runs at Dundalk, should be fine with an extra furlong
11 (1)	Arctic Assassin Chestnut J:J M Sheridan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:J M Sheridan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	127	p	079-	68	71	48	165d	—	—	-1	6.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has a similar profile to stablemate Pass The Buck, gelded now, first time cheekpieces
4 (11)	Vantage Code Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Emmet Mullins	J:Gary Carroll T:Emmet Mullins	133	—	667-	74	76	44	174d	—	—	+2	7.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Big price for all three maiden starts at two, has been gelded, market may provide a clue
5 (12)	Venetian Star Bay J:Ben Coen T:Patrick T Foley	J:Ben Coen T:Patrick T Foley	133	—	75627-	74	78	56	203d	—	—	+7	10.5	6.25/1	25/1 4%
First of two nursery starts was promising, change of stable but Ben Coen keeps the ride
10 (8)	Divine Believer Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Robbie Colgan T:Henry De Bromhead	128	—	007	69	80	37	28d	—	—	+3	5.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Two moderate runs at Dundalk, not much better at Naas, may find her level in handicaps
NR (2)	Closely Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	130	—	54-7	71	84	70	22d	—	—	—	5.3	—	—
Tame 6f run on seasonal debut, a rare runner at this level for stable, could be thrown in
