NR	Echo Gate b TBC · Gavin Cromwell	· Gavin Cromwell	155	—	0/704-	89	100	72	178d	—	—	+4	12.1	17/2 11%
Reserve; latest fourth in a Fairyhouse handicap (2m4f, soft) was a lot more promising.
11	Sheephaven Flyer b Rachael Blackmore · Henry De Bromhead	Rachael Blackmore · Henry De Bromhead	159	—	U/590-	93	102	13	166d	—	—	+6	12.5	14 7%
The final maiden he contested was won by Irish Point; interesting handicap debutant.

Recent Naas winner; could go well if back to his best and this trip will be fine.
2	Loudest Whisper b Ben Harvey(5) · E D Delany	Ben Harvey(5) · E D Delany	166	—	386U7-	100	110	71	—	—	—	+8	14.1	18 6%

Poor back over hurdles at Naas but can win races off this mark if getting his act together
7	Clear The Clouds b Keith Donoghue · Gavin Cromwell	Keith Donoghue · Gavin Cromwell	162	t	54205-	96	108	93	36d	—	—	+2	19	9/2 18%
Three of last four runs were encouraging and the first-time tongue-tie might bring him on.
10	Kellys Birr b Corey McGivern(7) · Gordon Elliott	Corey McGivern(7) · Gordon Elliott	159	b	79P50-	93	110	86	72d	—	—	+5	13	10 10%
The odd promising run for previous yard; of interest now with Gordon Elliott.
13	Jenny Flex b Danny Gilligan(7) · Gordon Elliott	Danny Gilligan(7) · Gordon Elliott	158	—	4/665-	92	96	77	150d	—	—	+3	13.4	13/2 13%
Winning pointer for Colin Bowe; her most promising maiden effort was her latest.

Up the weights for two Clonmel wins and could do with the ground softening up.
3	Golas Tiep b Shane O'Callaghan(7) · C A Mcbratney	Shane O'Callaghan(7) · C A Mcbratney	165	p	/2F0P-	99	77	39	135d	—	—	+9	13.3	20 5%
Seemed to lose his confidence after falling at Punchestown as he was poor afterwards.
NR	Breagagh b TBC · S Michael Millar	· S Michael Millar	159	—	9/45P-	93	106	96	78d	—	—	+9	11.5	40 3%
Poor recent comeback run doesn't inspire confidence and he's 0-25 now.
R14	Gamigin b Jody McGarvey · Noel C Kelly	Jody McGarvey · Noel C Kelly	156	—	07P50-	90	98	87	15d	—	—	+8	10.8	28 4%

Shock maiden winner; opposable on what he's achieved in handicaps.
8	Ballinclay Court b Sean Flanagan · N Dooly	Sean Flanagan · N Dooly	159	—	22077-	93	99	70	36d	—	—	+12	13.7	80 1%
