Back to form of late; stiffer task back in handicap company but rider's claim a positive
10	Tangental Brown J:J J Slevin T:C A Murphy	J:J J Slevin T:C A Murphy	148	—	/5122-	95	121	67	51d	—	—	+10	30.9	0.83/1	10/3 23%
In fine form for current yard on soft; quicker ground a concern
NR	Elle Dorado Rock Bay J:TBC T:A J Martin	J: T:A J Martin	141	t	0098P-	88	114	78	—	—	—	-4	15.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Encouraging signs on the Flat of late; back hurdling here with possibly more to offer
NR	Navigator Jack Bay J:TBC T:Eoin Griffin	J: T:Eoin Griffin	154	ht	400-53	101	123	48	2d	—	—	+6	15.4	1.75/1	8 13%
Tipperary third on Thursday was encouraging; one to consider
7	Cheerful Chap Bay J:Conor Brassil(5) T:N Dooly	J:Conor Brassil(5) T:N Dooly	158	—	18820-	105	124	93	30d	—	—	+14	21.2	2.75/1	12 8%
Tame Kilbeggan run raises questions, may want it softer
5	Ceroc Bay J:Phillip Enright T:E J Ogrady	J:Phillip Enright T:E J Ogrady	162	v	9/09-1	109	119	74	14d	0W/0P 1 run	—	+17	27.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Cork winner has longer trip to cope with but quite likely has more improvement in him
8	Ladiam Bay J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Norman Lee	J:Robbie Geoghegan(7) T:Norman Lee	156	h	1P82-2	103	120	93	16d	—	—	+8	22.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Two recent seconds on favoured ground make her a major player
4	Kingston Retreat Bay J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:Sean O Obrien	J:Philip Byrnes(5) T:Sean O Obrien	164	—	410FP-	111	125	91	24d	—	—	+11	17.3	3.25/1	14 7%
Punchestown run out of character; don't rule out
R13	Carlas Big Jim b/br J:Sean O'Keeffe T:L J Archdeacon	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:L J Archdeacon	140	—	68880-	87	114	65	32d	—	—	+6	10.3	5.25/1	22 5%
Upped in trip here for handicap debut but hard to have confidence in; reserve
6	Junior Alliance Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Thomas Gibney	162	—	0459-0	109	111	81	14d	—	—	+11	16.4	3.75/1	16 6%
Well held behind Ceroc on latest at Cork; hard to fancy despite reduced mark
2	Lighthouse Rose Bay J:Ian Power T:Mark Michael Mcniff	J:Ian Power T:Mark Michael Mcniff	165	—	F71P0-	112	118	8	221d	—	—	+17	20	8.00/1	33 3%
Downpatrick specialist absent since October so may well need this
3	Millen To One Bay J:Conor Smithers(7) T:Francis J Flood	J:Conor Smithers(7) T:Francis J Flood	165	—	37067-	112	117	56	112d	—	—	+14	17	8.00/1	33 3%
Form last winter overall disappointing; readily opposable on return from 4 month's break
11	Dorans River Brown J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:P J O'Hanlon(5) T:P J Rothwell	144	—	2009/8	91	99	-	9d	—	—	+8	11.1	8.00/1	33 3%
Respectable comeback for current yard at Clonmel but probably still best watched
