C&D winner likely to make a bold bit to recoup recent losses now that bit sharper
4	Jacksons Gold Bay J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Ms Alice Curran	J:Jack G Gilligan(7) T:Ms Alice Curran	158	—	08P32-	116	133	109	34d	—	—	+8	29	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Made it 0-12 over fences when runner-up at Tipperary latest, but has his chance
2	Bythesametoken Bay J:Keith Donoghue T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Keith Donoghue T:Ross O'Sullivan	165	tp	12260-	123	132	115	46d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+16	27.3	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Lot on his plate at Aintree, should be more at home here as one of the younger 'veterans'
3	Definite Plan Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	162	b	/325P-	120	139	128	176d	—	—	+13	22.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Generally reliable operator with bags of stamina which he needs to put to use here
6	Mc Alpine Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:P J Rothwell	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:P J Rothwell	150	—	67FP6-	108	130	104	32d	—	—	+10	16.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last of six at Wexford but not beaten far and that a step up on previous runs over fences
8	Ricky Langford Bay J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	J:Simon Torrens T:P J Rothwell	140	p	3335-P	98	131	110	20d	—	—	+8	13.4	3.50/1	14/1 7%
33's on recent course visit when disappointing; needs to recapture last season's form
1	The Echo Boy Bay J:Michael O'Sullivan T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:Michael O'Sullivan T:Dermot A McLoughlin	166	t	8/167-	124	103	46	318d	—	—	+16	19.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Reproduction of Kilbeggan form would see him in the shake up, not great since
7	Nobody Home Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Edward Cawley	J:Phillip Enright T:Edward Cawley	149	p	P/316-	107	129	77	78d	—	—	+12	15	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Disappointing at Fairyhouse, even more so considering he can go well fresh; now fourteen
