Killarney third; more needed but has an okay draw and has been dropped 2lb; could play
13 (19)	Martinelli b Colin Keane · Kieran P Cotter	Colin Keane · Kieran P Cotter	137	—	844833	65	69	60	22d	—	—	0	12.5	11/2 15%
This could well be his best trip and has some of the most solid form but very badly drawn
2 (10)	Latin b Daniel King(5) · Denis Gerard Hogan	Daniel King(5) · Denis Gerard Hogan	142	t	835382	70	70	64	23d	—	—	+5	15	8/1 11%
Good run in a Down Royal maiden and touched off in a Fairyhouse claimer last month; chance
4 (2)	Killeaney Bear b Andrew Slattery · Andrew Slattery	Andrew Slattery · Andrew Slattery	141	t	8-4401	69	68	57	30d	—	—	-3	7.8	8/1 11%
Well drawn for a horse likely to go forward and should go well off a 7lb higher mark
9 (18)	Abbey Actress b Ronan Whelan · John S O'Donoghue	Ronan Whelan · John S O'Donoghue	138	—	0-59	66	71	29	47d	—	—	-2	6.4	10/1 9%
Curragh form now reads quite well but she failed to build on it when well held at Gowran
16 (12)	Apollo Prince b Alexandra Egan(10) · Eddie & Patrick Harty	Alexandra Egan(10) · Eddie & Patrick Harty	136	t	4-4892	64	72	55	26d	—	—	-3	5.9	9/1 10%
Good second at Limerick; benefited from being gelded and the tongue-tie is left on
R19 (15)	Galician Girl gr Adam Caffrey(3) · Adrian McGuinness	Adam Caffrey(3) · Adrian McGuinness	136	—	08685U	64	72	66	17d	—	—	-2	5.7	12/1 8%
First reserve; back down to a workable mark now and a good run far from impossible
7 (1)	Alto Sax b Wayne Hassett(5) · Peter Fahey	Wayne Hassett(5) · Peter Fahey	139	b	345911	67	74	63	64d	—	—	+16	23.4	11/1 8%
Fairly handicapped for a stable hitting some form at the right time and could contend
15 (4)	Sirene Success ch Scott McCullagh(3) · K J Condon	Scott McCullagh(3) · K J Condon	137	—	595	65	67	52	31d	—	—	-1	5.5	14/1 7%
Best effort last time at Roscommon; likely to be better in handicaps and one to consider
6 (5)	Victor's Choice ch Robert Whearty(5) · Adrian Murray	Robert Whearty(5) · Adrian Murray	140	—	5-21d5	68	73	52	47d	—	—	-1	6.4	12/1 8%
Gowran winner; ran well on heavy here last year and plenty of rain would aid her chance
18 (20)	Nans View b Mikey Sheehy · Jarlath P Fahey	Mikey Sheehy · Jarlath P Fahey	136	—	9-78	64	71	30	49d	—	—	+1	4.6	25/1 4%
Interesting up to 1m for her handicap debut but has a car park draw to overcome
10 (6)	Sobriety Blue b Cian Horgan(7) · Andrew Slattery	Cian Horgan(7) · Andrew Slattery	138	—	-44905	66	67	27	21d	—	—	+1	5.1	20/1 5%
Gradually getting his act together in handicaps; best form is over seven though
14 (21)	Pomeriggio gr Ben Coen · Peter Fahey	Ben Coen · Peter Fahey	137	b	7-4080	65	71	49	20d	—	—	+1	5	25/1 4%
Soundly beaten in three handicaps this year and has to find plenty of improvement
17 (14)	Call Henry b Shane Foley · W Ross	Shane Foley · W Ross	136	—	72-68	64	66	13	49d	—	—	+1	4.5	28/1 3%
No show in a conditions race and a handicap at Fairyhouse in June and gelded since
11 (11)	Suilleabhain b Gavin Ryan · Kieran P Cotter	Gavin Ryan · Kieran P Cotter	138	b	0650-0	66	67	28	41d	—	—	+2	4.7	33/1 3%
Well beaten on his handicap debut at Limerick and blinkers are tried here
3 (8)	Si Senior b James Ryan(5) · Patrick Magee	James Ryan(5) · Patrick Magee	142	t	71745-	70	67	49	312d	—	—	+6	8.7	33/1 3%
Maiden winner off since September and tackling this trip for the first time; best watched
12 (13)	Exceeding b Paddy Harnett(5) · Andrew Slattery	Paddy Harnett(5) · Andrew Slattery	137	—	-59540	65	70	41	21d	—	—	+2	4.2	66/1 1%
Struggled from the off at Dundalk last time but respectable efforts in two handicaps prior
NR (17)	Campari Soda b Chris Hayes · D K Weld	Chris Hayes · D K Weld	142	b	377	70	74	68	50d	—	—	—	6.5	—
Plenty of boxes ticked for a big Galway run from this yard although the draw is a negative
NR (16)	Fairy Wings b Leigh Roche · W McCreery	Leigh Roche · W McCreery	139	—	079	67	67	20	31d	—	—	—	4.3	—
Bad draw for her handicap debut and likely to have more compelling opportunities than this
NR (9)	Basilah Bear b Luke McAteer · David Marnane	Luke McAteer · David Marnane	135	p	2-8066	63	72	43	18d	—	—	—	6.8	—
Second reserve; cheekpieces tried and 4lb lower now than last year's winning mark
NR (3)	Mastastroque ch Seamie Heffernan · J A Stack	Seamie Heffernan · J A Stack	135	—	090	63	67	25	60d	—	—	—	3.3	—
Third reserve; not much to be derived from three runs in maidens; market might guide
