Good second in a competitive Curragh handicap two weeks ago; will go close with a repeat
6 (11)	I'm Spartacus Chestnut J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	130	v	882344	57	74	68	7d	—	—	-6	9.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Consistent sort tried in a visor here; down another 1lb and this stiff five could be ideal
2 (4)	Devil's Angel Grey J:Colin Keane T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Colin Keane T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	137	—	23-050	63	75	43	7d	—	—	-8	7.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Yet to show his best here but the booking of the champion jockey suggests more is expected
1 (9)	Hero Of The Hour Bay J:James Ryan(3) T:T G McCourt	J:James Ryan(3) T:T G McCourt	140	v	863113	66	72	67	11d	—	—	+10	23.9	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Dual winner over the summer; comes here in fine fettle and a leading contender once more
4 (2)	Realtin Fantasy Bay J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:W P Browne	J:Wayne Hassett(5) T:W P Browne	131	p	833272	57	73	66	29d	—	—	+5	12.9	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Won't be far away but could have one or two coming home better than her
5 (14)	Theriverrunsdeep Bay J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Seamus G O'Donnell	J:Wesley Joyce(5) T:Seamus G O'Donnell	131	b	038301	57	76	61	13d	—	—	+9	15.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Drawn on the right side at Naas; 10lb penalty will be tough to overcome; respected though
13 (1)	Spirit Of Eagles Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Thomas Dowling	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:Thomas Dowling	121	t	038750	47	75	63	21d	—	—	-9	4.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Ran okay behind Hero Of The Hour at Down Royal; overall form leaves her with a bit to find
15 (10)	Stopitnowjulia Black J:Chris Hayes T:Aidan Anthony Howard	J:Chris Hayes T:Aidan Anthony Howard	120	h	3-8784	47	68	54	13d	—	—	-2	3.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Finished well at Naas last time; can be a factor if she lies up more successfully
12 (5)	Short Change Bay J:Jack Cleary(7) T:Thomas Dowling	J:Jack Cleary(7) T:Thomas Dowling	123	—	7900	49	71	60	28d	—	—	-3	1.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Not beaten far on his handicap debut at the Curragh last month but much more needed
7 (6)	Elliott Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:M G Quinn	J:Gavin Ryan T:M G Quinn	128	—	-93648	55	73	66	33d	—	—	-1	3.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Ran well in a couple of Down Royal handicaps; well held behind Hero Of The Hour last twice
10 (8)	Limoncello Lady Brown J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	125	b	-09430	52	71	59	22d	—	—	0	3.4	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Best effort was from the front in a 6f handicap here in July; this stiff five could suit
11 (13)	Hezahunk Bay J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Cian MacRedmond(5) T:Adrian McGuinness	123	v	082260	49	74	-	139d	—	—	+2	4.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Not seen since getting stuck in the mud at the Curragh in April; might be best watched
8 (15)	Little Mi Mi Chestnut J:Wayne Lordan T:C P Donoghue	J:Wayne Lordan T:C P Donoghue	127	t	60-69	54	66	33	22d	—	—	-1	1.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
No show in three maidens or on her handicap debut at Cork; tongue-tie tried here
14 (7)	Zentopia Bay J:N G McCullagh T:S M Duffy	J:N G McCullagh T:S M Duffy	121	p	6-0000	47	70	43	13d	—	—	-1	0.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Mild early promise for Gavin Cromwell but moderate handicap form for current yard
9 (3)	Your Day To Shine Bay J:Terry Casey(10) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Terry Casey(10) T:Michael Mulvany	126	—	88800	53	75	45	11d	—	—	0	1.1	37.50/1	150/1 1%
Failed to figure on either handicap start; back to 5f having tried a variety of trips
