9	Read To Return Bay J:Peter Carberry T:A J Martin	J:Peter Carberry T:A J Martin	147	t	85772-	95	122	57	161d	—	—	-10	28.8	0.31/1	5/4 44%
Remarkably well-backed and duly improved when second in Tramore maiden chase in April
NR	Hand Over Fist Bay J:TBC T:Henry De Bromhead	J: T:Henry De Bromhead	160	—	39-311	108	115	88	48d	—	—	-3	21.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Never favourite despite top yard; no-frills wins on nice ground last twice, including here
7	Fill The Tank Brown J:Mark McDonagh(5) T:Aengus King	J:Mark McDonagh(5) T:Aengus King	152	p	P-0912	100	118	53	48d	—	—	-3	19.2	0.69/1	11/4 27%
C&D winner; two shockers this season before 18s Limerick win; backed that up here latest
NR	Outside The Door Bay J:TBC T:Padraig Roche	J: T:Padraig Roche	158	p	F-P148	106	118	-	31d	—	—	+1	19.2	0.75/1	4 25%
2-12 hurdling, winning when last seen (2021), so suddenly favourable (10lb higher chasing)
1	Ideal Du Tabert Chestnut J:Mark Walsh T:Cian Collins	J:Mark Walsh T:Cian Collins	168	—	328-33	116	119	36	17d	—	—	+4	21.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Went remarkably short in-running on stable debut at Kilbeggan, running another solid race
NR	Good World Bay J:TBC T:Eoin Griffin	J: T:Eoin Griffin	154	b	0-6P63	102	123	76	31d	—	—	-41	33	1.75/1	8 13%
Stays this distance and ready for it after staying-on Kilbeggan third; yard had good term
NR	Jay Jay Zee Bay J:TBC T:Gordon Elliott	J: T:Gordon Elliott	160	p	-32554	113	124	103	10d	—	—	+10	20.9	2.00/1	9 11%
Consistent but clearly did not get home latest so major concerns on that score here
8	Benkei Bay J:Miss M Walsh(7) T:H Rogers	J:Miss M Walsh(7) T:H Rogers	148	p	3434-8	96	124	104	9d	—	—	+5	14	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Old boy a course winner; noted on C&D third over a year ago; some interest at the prices
NR	Pat Coyne Grey J:TBC T:John Queally	J: T:John Queally	159	p	P30396	107	116	103	7d	—	—	+11	18.3	3.75/1	16 6%
Well-held generally this year and seemingly safe to oppose; seems a high enough rating
10	Rockon Henry Bay J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Fintan Feeney	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:Fintan Feeney	140	—	02/79/	88	118	-	579d	—	—	+5	11.1	3.25/1	14 7%
Not an obvious sort off huge layoff for trainer 0-19 but nearly one a bumper in 2021
11	Military Hill Bay J:Conor McNamara T:R K Watson	J:Conor McNamara T:R K Watson	140	—	/BP-90	88	115	45	100d	—	—	+7	10.4	6.75/1	28 4%
No apparent chance; 7lb wrong
