1	Off the mark in classified stakes over at Newcastle (1¼m) in March and justified that support dropped back into that company when winning at the same C&D last week.

6	Cashed in on a career-low mark at Limerick in April and also third in a big-field handicap over hurdles 3 weeks later. Shaped as if still in decent form when last seen on the Flat at Downpatrick and was let down by his jumping back hurdling at Kilbeggan (19f) 15 days ago. Respected at this level. 2nd Pick 6 Patrick Street Jockey: M. P. Sheehy Trainer: Andrew Kinirons, Ireland J: M. P. Sheehy T: Andrew Kinirons, Ireland	98	-	-	-	15%	6/1

10	Offered little in 3 novices last season for Gary Rutherford but much more encouragement on his return/yard debut when third in a pair of 1m handicaps here so far this year. Less exposed than most here and he's worth a crack at this longer trip. 3rd Pick 10 Flying Moonlight (Ire) Jockey: S. B. Kirrane Trainer: Sandy Thomson J: S. B.
