#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1	Queens Gamble Chestnut J:Rachael Blackmore T:Harry Derham	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Harry Derham	166	—	/111-2	134	134	126	64d	—	—	+12	31.7	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Stable has won a good handicap hurdle in Ireland this season and she sets a good standard
14	Straight Home Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	144	t	70-321	112	133	117	101d	—	—	+4	20.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Soft ground is likely to be negative but respected and probably still relatively unexposed
10	Savante b/br J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:C A Murphy	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:C A Murphy	151	—	1015B	119	140	102	35d	—	—	+14	28.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Brought down two out in a novice handicap hurdle here at Christmas; should be thereabouts
12	Qualimita Bay J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sam Ewing T:Gordon Elliott	149	t	/3-242	117	133	106	22d	—	—	+13	21.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Best is yet to be seen of her probably and could well play a hand in her first handicap
11	Vischio Bay J:Danny Mullins T:Emmet Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:Emmet Mullins	151	ht	84P241	119	135	110	79d	—	—	+24	31.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
First run for Emmet Mullins; first time headgear tried and has to come into calculations
13	Thisistheway Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Yvonne Latta	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Yvonne Latta	147	—	6-5171	115	142	109	12d	—	—	+12	17.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Softer ground here not in her favour although she is due to go up 11lb in future
4	Media Naranja Bay J:Carl Millar(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Carl Millar(5) T:Gordon Elliott	155	—	256438	123	138	124	51d	—	—	+16	22	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Decent third in a Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in December entitles her to respect
17	Phils Choice Bay J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(5) T:P J Rothwell	141	p	591-02	109	137	53	38d	—	—	+10	16.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Excellent run at Limerick; up another 3lb but could be a lively outsider here
6	Lily Du Berlais Bay J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	J:J J Slevin T:S R B Crawford	153	ht	21-158	121	139	129	50d	—	—	+13	19.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Two runs this season have been less than convincing and others preferred
2	Cottesloe Sunshine Bay J:Richard Deegan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Richard Deegan T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	158	—	38U131	126	134	113	43d	—	—	+32	36.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Does seem to be more adept on good ground so forecast rain a probable negative
5	Jeaniemacaroney Bay J:Peter Smithers(7) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Peter Smithers(7) T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	154	—	2-1521	122	135	103	43d	—	—	+18	22.9	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Up 9lb but could be well suited by a big field and a strong gallop; definite contender
9	Cast A Spell Bay J:Cian Quirke(5) T:T Hogan	J:Cian Quirke(5) T:T Hogan	151	v	317431	119	137	119	16d	—	—	+28	32.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Won a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Cork last month; 6lb is a manageable penalty; each-way claim
8	Amanha Brown J:P J O'Hanlon T:Dermot A McLoughlin	J:P J O'Hanlon T:Dermot A McLoughlin	151	ht	417344	119	132	105	43d	—	—	+19	21.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Not many chances taken with her mark after her last two runs and others look more likely
18	Deons Diamond Chestnut J:G B Noonan(5) T:P J Rothwell	J:G B Noonan(5) T:P J Rothwell	140	—	41P-44	108	134	105	16d	—	—	+13	15.2	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Behind Cast A Spell in a Cork handicap hurdle; 1lb wrong and others looks more likely
19	Arch Enemy Grey J:Jack Kearney(3) T:Patrick Magee	J:Jack Kearney(3) T:Patrick Magee	140	—	5/6162	108	135	118	8d	—	—	+12	15.3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Second in a Fairyhouse handicap last week; 4lb wrong but capable of getting involved
20	Boghlone Honey Bay J:Simon Torrens T:Liam P Cusack	J:Simon Torrens T:Liam P Cusack	140	h	/1U1/4	108	118	95	20d	—	—	+13	15	12.50/1	50/1 2%
4lb wrong here and has plenty on her plate; tried in a first-time hood
7	Disco Dancer b/br J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	152	t	3254F1	120	133	106	12d	—	—	+26	27.9	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Winner at Down Royal 12 days ago; might not be good enough but should run her race
16	Kimy Bay J:Jake Coen(3) T:Thomas Mullins	J:Jake Coen(3) T:Thomas Mullins	141	—	0631P7	109	137	109	38d	—	—	+18	20.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Ran okay in a novice handicap hurdle here at Christmas but much more needed
15	Ad Caelum Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:John Patrick Ryan	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:John Patrick Ryan	142	—	431518	110	137	108	16d	—	—	+25	25.8	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Up 15lb for two wins and well beaten behind Cast A Spell at Cork; looks up against it
NR	Brucio Bay J:Ben Bromley(5) T:S R B Crawford	J:Ben Bromley(5) T:S R B Crawford	156	t	B0-305	124	137	126	50d	—	—	—	18.5	—	—
8lb higher than when winning this last year and Slevin prefers Lily Du Berlais
