Deserved her breakthrough win in a maiden on Tuesday, 7lb penalty may anchor her
7	Rathbawn Soldier Bay J:Alex Harvey T:Patrick T Foley	J:Alex Harvey T:Patrick T Foley	147	h	0001	101	123	117	17d	—	—	+10	28	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Won readily on handicap debut at Naas, this similar track should play to her strength
3	Maxios Prime Brown J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	J:Tiernan Power Roche(3) T:P J Rothwell	150	—	-22743	104	122	107	18d	—	—	+6	24.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Two most recent runs at Leopardstown offer plenty of encouragement for her chance
8	Somersby Roost Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver McKiernan	145	t	1-5674	99	127	104	19d	—	—	+12	22.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Ran respectably in novice company last time, previous maiden hurdle form is unconvincing
10	Stiltellinemnuttin Bay J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Patrick M O'Brien(5) T:Michael Mulvany	141	—	6-0050	95	116	101	17d	—	—	+6	13.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Dropped away in the Naas race won by Rathbawn Soldier, major improvement required

Long-priced Ballinrobe winner last spring, uninspiring handicap form before a break
2	Sopelana Bay J:Kevin Healy(7) T:Cian Collins	J:Kevin Healy(7) T:Cian Collins	155	tp	158174	119	125	112	28d	—	—	+18	23.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Has managed three wins since last autumn despite showing uneven form, others preferred
9	Simple Things Chestnut J:Simon Torrens T:J P Dempsey	J:Simon Torrens T:J P Dempsey	141	h	378	105	122	101	68d	—	—	+11	17	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Debut at Fairyhouse much the best of her three qualifying runs, market may provide clues
11	Tropical Twist Bay J:Josh Williamson(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:Josh Williamson(5) T:Gordon Elliott	141	—	6545	95	119	88	151d	—	—	+8	12.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
No major progression in her three maiden outings but does not look over-burdened
1	Disco Dancer b/br J:James Smith(5) T:Gordon Elliott	J:James Smith(5) T:Gordon Elliott	166	t	4F145-	120	123	100	—	—	—	+19	23.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Should be better for a Dundalk run, fourth in a Listed mares' handicap at last year's DRF
6	Elsannah Bay J:Jack G Gilligan(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	J:Jack G Gilligan(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	149	t	5U511/	103	122	-	1077d	—	—	+28	30.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Progressive in staying handicaps three seasons ago, in a new stable after mammoth absence
