Recent 1m6f winner here not guaranteed to back that up off 4lb higher but respected
13 (16)	Desert Friend Chestnut J:Ben Coen T:Mrs Denise Foster	J:Ben Coen T:Mrs Denise Foster	134	—	7707-7	64	73	71	28d	—	0W/1P 1 run	-3	5.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Okay run back on the level at the Curragh last month but needs to step forward from that

C&D winner in 2022, bit to find with stablemate The Truant on recent run here
3 (1)	Miss Gitana Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Gordon Elliott	J:Chris Hayes T:Gordon Elliott	139	—	21137-	69	75	67	—	—	—	+12	17.2	5.50/1	22/1 4%

Much better hurdler, potentially well handicapped back on flat; rider's first mount
R21 (14)	Tara Power Bay J:Adam Caffrey T:Keith Henry Clarke	J:Adam Caffrey T:Keith Henry Clarke	122	t	9-4178	52	71	-	29d	—	—	-4	2.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
AW winner in February but stamina concerns over this stiff 1m5f on easy ground; reserve
1 (12)	Matt Connor Bay J:Jack Kearney(5) T:Martin Brassil	J:Jack Kearney(5) T:Martin Brassil	142	t	9/068-	72	71	47	127d	—	—	+3	6.3	7.00/1	28/1 3%

16 (20)	Make Good Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Anthony Murray	J:Declan McDonogh T:Joseph Anthony Murray	133	tp	2/640-	63	73	64	191d	—	—	+4	7.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Long losing run and may just need this although on a nice enough mark for yard debut
9 (19)	No Big Deal Bay J:N G McCullagh T:Charles O'Brien	J:N G McCullagh T:Charles O'Brien	135	t	870/0-	65	69	-	—	—	—	+2	4.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%

Trip/ground to suit but recent Gowran run leaves him with a fair bit to find
2 (5)	Black Gem Brown J:Cian Fahy(10) T:John C McConnell	J:Cian Fahy(10) T:John C McConnell	141	—	64325-	71	72	43	160d	—	—	+8	11.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%

NR (21)	Lady Kai Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	135	p	/1417-	65	71	59	185d	—	—	—	13.8	—	—
5yo mare may not have stopped improving and runs well fresh
