4 (6)	I Bid You Ajou Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	J:Ronan Whelan T:Mark Fahey	137	—	267294	65	71	64	19d	—	—	-8	12	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Behind Dear Daphne at Cork but will probably reverse that form; maiden knocking on door
5 (2)	Madame Plaintiff br/gr J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	135	p	140065	63	68	70	9d	—	—	-6	6.9	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Yard greatly respected but she went backwards after Gowran win early in term; headgear
3 (1)	Glamorously Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	139	v	409347	67	70	67	7d	—	—	-2	8.8	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; often misses the break
7 (7)	Hijo De La Luna Bay J:Colin Keane T:Stephen McConville	J:Colin Keane T:Stephen McConville	130	p	036900	55	72	55	—	—	—	-9	6.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Much his best run this term was over C&D but hard to have much faith; cheekpieces now
9 (10)	Alex Belardo Chestnut J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	J:Donagh O'Connor T:John C McConnell	129	v	402833	57	73	49	34d	—	—	+1	11	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Maiden a key player on form this year even if hold-up tactics not necessarily ideal here
11 (4)	Spirit Of Eagles Bay J:Jack Cleary(7) T:Thomas Dowling	J:Jack Cleary(7) T:Thomas Dowling	125	t	750729	50	71	47	7d	—	—	-4	6.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Another unproven at 7f; is also hard to settle so risky; she isn't out of it on form; 1-24
10 (9)	Elliott Bay J:W J Lee T:M G Quinn	J:W J Lee T:M G Quinn	126	—	364804	54	74	67	7d	—	—	-5	3.5	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Sole win came at 5f; first shot beyond sprint trips and chances are he will not stay
2 (5)	Dear Daphne Bay J:J M Sheridan T:R K Watson	J:J M Sheridan T:R K Watson	139	—	077003	64	71	66	19d	—	—	+3	7.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
County Armagh yard's last winner was over two years ago; she offers hope of one
1 (11)	Big Baby Bull Chestnut J:Chris Hayes T:John Patrick Hayes	J:Chris Hayes T:John Patrick Hayes	140	tb	93-000	65	68	39	32d	—	—	0	5.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Last pair of six wins were in claimers last year; seems to be regressing
8 (8)	Inflection Point Brown J:Rory Mulligan(7) T:G A Kingston	J:Rory Mulligan(7) T:G A Kingston	130	p	2420-6	55	67	49	65d	—	—	-1	2.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Latest a nice effort and perhaps cheekpieces will help; 3lb drop in weights will
6 (3)	Hasiyna Chestnut J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Siobhan Rutledge(3) T:John C McConnell	130	h	47-007	55	70	22	62d	—	—	-1	2	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Great chance on maiden form; latest a bit better but 4yo form underwhelming; hood back on
