Decent C&D run on Wednesday; Keane on now and better ground may suit but draw a negative
4 (15)	Highbury See See Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	135	—	5-7413	75	85	65	6d	—	—	-4	10.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Tuesday's C&D third should go well again if overcoming high draw
17 (3)	Tilani Bay J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	J:Chris Hayes T:D K Weld	121	p	907-53	61	79	59	45d	—	—	-10	8	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Leopardstown third last time, seems to be on a fair mark and is worth considering
10 (5)	Pallatine Hills Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	132	b	4-7483	72	81	72	37d	—	—	-3	8.8	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Improved back at 1m latest; back further in trip here and one to consider from a good draw
6 (6)	Fiona Maccoul Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	133	—	10-005	73	81	36	6d	—	—	-3	9.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Tuesday's C&D fifth a step in the right direction; bit more needed
3 (1)	This Farh Bay J:Declan McDonogh T:David Loughnane	J:Declan McDonogh T:David Loughnane	137	p	571233	77	85	77	23d	—	—	+11	19.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Consistent run of form of late; needs to improve to play major role but well-drawn
7 (9)	Gangsta Man Chestnut J:Ronan Whelan T:Kevin Michael Smith	J:Ronan Whelan T:Kevin Michael Smith	133	b	90-194	73	82	76	6d	—	—	-1	8.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Not clearest of runs when fourth over C&D on Tuesday; one tp consider
9 (16)	Flying Fortress Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Gary Carroll T:Gavin Cromwell	132	—	8-1493	72	84	61	33d	—	—	0	7.6	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Ballinrobe maiden winner has been struggling a bit in handicaps
5 (13)	American State Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:Patrick Owens	J:Seamie Heffernan T:Patrick Owens	133	—	553317	73	85	68	20d	—	—	+11	16.8	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Not the best of draws for a front-runner though jockey in fine form this week
12 (12)	Electric Beauty Grey J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	127	—	379841	67	81	77	17d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+11	15.3	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Up 6lb for Leopardstown win and unlikely to get such a soft lead here
8 (8)	Sir Jeremy Chestnut J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	133	—	306288	73	83	56	6d	—	—	+6	9.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Midfield here on Tuesday so improvement needed to reverse form with trio of today's rivals
18 (4)	Highland Harvey Bay J:N G McCullagh T:A J Martin	J:N G McCullagh T:A J Martin	119	—	999000	59	77	48	83d	—	—	0	3	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Huge odds for all runs and has performed accordingly; 3lb wrong and hard to fancy; reserve
16 (11)	Sottsands Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Nathan Crosse T:Adrian McGuinness	121	v	575506	61	84	73	13d	—	—	+1	3.3	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Has had plenty of chances and overall profile is regressive; of limited appeal
NR (18)	Wizard Of Odds Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Stephen Thorne	J:NON-RUNNER T:Stephen Thorne	139	b	208670	79	83	-	6d	—	—	—	7.3	—	—
Lots more needed from Tuesday's effort and another high draw not likely to help; blinkered
NR (7)	Mother Mara Bay J:Nicola Burns(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	J:Nicola Burns(7) T:Gerard O'Leary	135	—	064251	75	86	77	2d	—	—	—	18.8	—	—
Came late for C&D win on Friday; definite player if turning out again
NR (14)	Casheldale Lass Bay J:Robbie Colgan T:Andrew Kinirons	J:Robbie Colgan T:Andrew Kinirons	125	p	0-0011	65	83	49	29d	—	—	—	3.8	—	—
On a hat-trick but big drop in trip and aggregate 20lb rise asks questions of her
NR (10)	Dance For Chester Chestnut J:NON-RUNNER(3) T:Stephen Thorne	J:NON-RUNNER(3) T:Stephen Thorne	125	—	70-110	65	83	-	2d	—	—	—	3.8	—	—
Disappointing favourite over C&D on Friday on yielding, beaten too far out to be the trip
NR (19)	Chica Guerrera Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mark Fahey	J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mark Fahey	124	—	7818-9	64	78	71	2d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
