0-7 over fences but ran well at Navan on penultimate, big chance on that run
1	I A Connect b Caragh Monaghan(7) Ian Patrick Donoghue	Caragh Monaghan(7) Ian Patrick Donoghue	168	—	357933	100	108	92	27d	—	—	-1	25.6	3/1 25%
Solid runs over timber last twice, rated 12lb lower over fences, could go well
8	Walk In The Sea b Sam Ewing Ian Patrick Donoghue	Sam Ewing Ian Patrick Donoghue	152	tp	69-794	84	87	75	31d	—	—	+2	11.2	15/2 12%
Modest hurdles form, well beaten in beginners chase latest, watch in new headgear combo
5	Royal Time b Eoin Staples(7) Shane Crawley	Eoin Staples(7) Shane Crawley	160	tp	80-300	92	95	87	36d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+3	13.6	8/1 11%
Beaten 26l on handicap chase debut, new cheekpieces and longer trip need to spark
12	Rose Of Kalanisi b Mr Alan O'Sullivan(7) Conor David Maxwell	Mr Alan O'Sullivan(7) Conor David Maxwell	149	p	4961-8	81	99	67	164d	—	—	+1	10.3	10/1 9%
Off since poor hurdles run in July, chase form unconvincing, probably best watched
9	Another Challenge b Phillip Enright Oliver McKiernan	Phillip Enright Oliver McKiernan	150	—	0U-498	82	75	-	11d	—	—	+3	9.9	14/1 7%
Disappointing since Navan fourth over hurdles in September, others make more appeal
14	Baltinglass Hill b Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	147	b	758533	79	109	94	36d	—	—	+6	14.9	9/1 10%
0-11 over fences but shaped well the last twice, worth another go at this trip, player
6	Eagle Terrace b Carl Millar(5) Noel C Kelly	Carl Millar(5) Noel C Kelly	157	tp	-8085P	89	102	53	15d	—	—	+5	11.7	12/1 8%
Won this in 2023 off 6lb higher, pulled up over timber latest, return to this track a plus
3	Le Grand Vert b Mr O McGill(5) Noel C Kelly	Mr O McGill(5) Noel C Kelly	166	tp	6836UP	98	108	65	15d	—	—	+7	13.8	16/1 6%
Mixed bag since 3m Ayr win in March, failed to complete last twice, others preferred
7	Jimli's Cave b Ricky Doyle R K Watson	Ricky Doyle R K Watson	156	b	373066	88	101	63	77d	—	—	+8	11.5	28/1 3%
Disappointing since close third at Downpatrick in July, this trip looks on the sharp side
13	Younowhatimean br John Shinnick(3) Eoin Christopher McCarthy	John Shinnick(3) Eoin Christopher McCarthy	149	tp	050600	81	100	-	38d	—	—	+5	8.7	28/1 3%
0-22 under Rules, 0-4 in chases, out of form over timber recently, hard to fancy
15	Feast b Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) Stephanie Ocsko-Moore	Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) Stephanie Ocsko-Moore	142	p	85066P	74	92	42	52d	—	—	+4	6.9	33/1 3%
Bumper winner, beaten 15.5l on chase debut on penultimate, watch on stable debut
16	Mastermind b Shane Markey(7) Ms Helen P Markham	Shane Markey(7) Ms Helen P Markham	140	—	656-90	72	98	81	13d	—	—	+3	6.4	40/1 2%
0-9 over fences, may have needed latest but needs to improve on previous chase efforts
10	Bid Up ch Mr P J Cawley(7) Brian Francis Cawley	Mr P J Cawley(7) Brian Francis Cawley	150	t	6-0000	90	-	-	29d	—	—	+8	10.9	33/1 3%
Dual-purpose maiden, modest hurdles form for two former yards, watch on chase debut
4	Malton Groove br Patrick M O'Brien(5) Dermot A McLoughlin	Patrick M O'Brien(5) Dermot A McLoughlin	162	tp	P40558	94	105	59	23d	—	—	+9	11.8	50/1 2%

NR	Duce Bigalow b Jordan Gainford Seamus Neville	Jordan Gainford Seamus Neville	150	—	70-P52	82	99	79	11d	—	—	—	8	—
Big step forward at Naas latest, best form on heavy ground, rain would be welcome
