Grade 1 bumper winner; potentially top-class novice hurdler and likely the one to beat
14	William Munny Bay J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Barry Connell	J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Barry Connell	166	—	113-	-	-	-	239d	—	—	-5	23.9	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Should make smart novice but work cut out to reverse bumper form with Redemption Day
3	Goldinthemountains Chestnut J:J J Slevin T:Martin Brassil	J:J J Slevin T:Martin Brassil	166	t	4/15-	-	-	-	238d	—	—	-9	3.6	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Bumper winner on this card a year ago; runs well fresh so respected on hurdles debut
15	Workahead Bay J:Mike O'Connor T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Mike O'Connor T:Henry De Bromhead	166	—	1/3	-	120	87	19d	—	—	+2	13.3	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Very promising comeback run; improvement likely and could well play a role

Unaccountably bad run at Punchestown latest but respected on previous bumper form
5	Joueur Masque Bay J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	J:Simon Torrens T:W P Mullins	166	h	1/4	-	111	74	19d	—	—	+2	9.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Bumper winner; jumping none too fluent so far hurdling and likely to need more experience
17	Half Past Tipsy Chestnut J:Kieren Buckley T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Kieren Buckley T:Gavin Cromwell	159	—	15-467	-	115	98	26d	—	—	-2	0.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Promise in a couple of starts in maidens but handicaps look more likely to be her forte
8	Polemon Bay J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	166	t	30/3	-	120	58	27d	—	—	+1	3.9	16.50/1	66/1 1%

Riding arrangements suggest he's the more favoured of the Cromwell five but hard to fancy
6	Navy Guitar Bay J:Danny Gilligan T:Adrian Murray	J:Danny Gilligan T:Adrian Murray	166	h	05645	-	95	75	30d	—	—	-1	0.2	31.25/1	125/1 1%
Mild debut hurdles promise but bumper form since ordinary; up against it here
12	Theophilos Chestnut J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:Gerard Keane	J:Ethan O'Sullivan(7) T:Gerard Keane	166	t	00	-	82	49	19d	—	—	-1	0.2	50.00/1	200/1 0%
