5 (7)	Little Empire Bay J:Luke McAteer T:Anthony McCann	J:Luke McAteer T:Anthony McCann	133	—	1332-2	82	98	85	12d	—	—	-5	21	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Most consistent here of late; back to career-high mark but should go well again
2 (6)	Inishfallen Bay J:Jack Kearney(3) T:Stephen Thorne	J:Jack Kearney(3) T:Stephen Thorne	134	p	2595-4	83	96	66	12d	—	—	-8	15.1	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Encouraging recent effort in the circumstances; down 3lb since so definite claims
7 (2)	Brewing Bay J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	128	p	0400-5	77	93	59	12d	—	—	-6	12	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Unsuccessful gamble here recently at 1m; on a nice mark and could recoup losses
4 (4)	Exquisite Acclaim Bay J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	133	v	1846-2	82	94	69	12d	—	—	+3	17	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Back to form dropped in grade here 12 days ago when good second over 1m; definite player
8 (1)	Zabriskie Point Bay J:Rory Cleary T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Rory Cleary T:Adrian McGuinness	125	p	90840-	74	93	-	127d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+1	7.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Absent since September; AW debut and yard have more obvious contender in Exquisite Acclaim
6 (8)	Venetian Bay J:Reese Holohan(7) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Reese Holohan(7) T:Denis Gerard Hogan	132	p	247-17	81	93	65	12d	—	—	+3	9.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Recent C&D winner too keen over 1m since; will appreciate drop back in trip
1 (5)	The Liffey Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Gary Carroll T:Denis Gerard Hogan	140	tb	0747-6	89	97	59	12d	—	—	+7	10.9	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Both recent runs for current yard at this venue well below best but handicapper relenting
3 (3)	Alfred Tennyson Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	133	t	3/91-8	82	96	25	19d	—	—	+8	10.2	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Expected to improve for recent C&D yard debut; tongue-tie tried
