Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/6 +63%) Charming Star	0.833333 5/6(+63%)	(3) Charming Star 5/6, Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth of 16 in a juvenile at Naas (15.5f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Should progress. Flat winner on very testing ground last year and encouraging hurdle debut latest.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +65%) Balko D'ange	14 14/1(+65%)	(1) Balko D'ange 14/1, Balko gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2¾m) Mail de Bievre. Balko gelding; dam showed nothing over hurdles; yard's newcomers often need run.
3	12 3rd (12) (4/1 -60%) Welcome Back	4 4/1(-60%)	(12) Welcome Back 4/1, Getaway gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Banks Boy, stays 2½m, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Floral Fantasy. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Getaway gelding; full brother to 2 jumps winners; interesting newcomer; check market.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 +39%) Milteye	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Milteye 40/1, Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 1m who shaped like a non-stayer when twelfth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.5f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Won Redcar maiden in Britain but tailed off when 100s for Naas hurdle bow; a lot to find.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -32%) Club Manager	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Club Manager 33/1, Fair Flat winner who looked one for later on over hurdles when fifth of 13 in a juvenile at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Modest performer on Flat for Andrew Balding and tailed off when jumping poorly latest.
6th	6 6th (6) (200/1 -203%) Ilbdare	200 200/1(-203%)	(6) Ilbdare 200/1, Fascinating Rock gelding. Half-brother to 9f winner Theophilos. Dam unraced. Fascinating Rock gelding; half-brother to 1m1f winner; hard to see him involved on debut.
7th	14 7th (14) (125/1 -468%) Drum Roll	125 125/1(-468%)	(14) Drum Roll 125/1, Fair maiden on Flat in France, stays 9.5f, below form last time. Left N. Clement for €13,000 in November. 0-7 on Flat in France; bought for 13,000eur since; not bred for this.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 -100%) Grann's Boy	22 22/1(-100%)	(5) Grann's Boy 22/1, Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, successful at Galway final start in 2023. Makes hurdles debut and can't be ruled out if taking to this new discipline. Won off 58 when last seen on the level at Galway; not bred for this but ground fine.
9th	8 9th (8) (5/2 -79%) Shahbaz	2.5 5/2(-79%)	(8) Shahbaz 5/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Charlie Fellowes, stays 1¼m, in frame final 5 starts in 2023. Interesting hurdling debutant. Useful level up to 1m2f on Flat (RPR 91); yard do well with this type; check market.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (40/1 -300%) Sir Callisto	40 40/1(-300%)	(9) Sir Callisto 40/1, Fairly useful form on Flat in France, maiden winner last time, stays 13f:. Left J. Reynier €23,000 in November. Should have a future over hurdles. 1-4 in France on Flat; bought for 20,000eur since; interesting recruit for this yard.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (200/1 -300%) Balovale	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Balovale 200/1, Hooded but raced freely when well held in a bumper at Naas (16f, soft, 18/1) on debut 50 days ago. Makes hurdle bow. Only 18s for bumper debut but was too keen and beaten a long way out; may want it quicker.
10th	13 10th (13) (100/1 -52%) Wing Back	100 100/1(-52%)	(13) Wing Back 100/1, Offered little in juvenile hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Never invovled at big price when distant 6th on debut; more required and may want further.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -21%) Someone's Wish	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Someone's Wish 80/1, Modest Flat winner who was well held on hurdling debut at Gowran (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Dual Flat winner but beaten a huge distance on hurdle debut and best watched for now.
12th	15 12th (15) (80/1 -100%) I Dont Lie	80 80/1(-100%)	(15) I Dont Lie 80/1, Diamond Boy filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Coach Carter. Dam (c123/h121) 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Diamond Boy filly and pedigree points to her wanting further than this.

CHARMING STAR ran a lovely race on hurdling debut at Naas which showed he could have a future in this game. He kept on without threatening in fourth and this former 1m4f winner on the Flat relishes testing ground. A big run from Shahbaz on hurdling bow for Gavin Cromwell wouldn't be a surprise. This son of Free Eagle showed an aptitude for rain-softened ground during his career on the Flat in Britain. Most notably, he won a soft-ground nursery at Newmarket and ran on for fourth on heavy going over an extended 1m2f when last seen at Nottingham in October. St Faz has shown more than enough over flights to rate a danger. He has banked a couple of third place finishes in Killarney and Cork, so more prize money awaits. Grann's Boy and Welcome Back are a pair to monitor for market moves.

CHARMING STAR, a lightly-raced winner on the Flat, showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Naas in January and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Welcome Back and Shahbaz are a pair of interesting hurdling newcomers who need monitoring closely in the betting.

This can go the way of CHARMING STAR who ran a big race on his hurdle bow and he could be hard to beat with normal improvement

14:10 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (4/6 +26%) Instant Tendance	0.666667 4/6(+26%)	(4) Instant Tendance 4/6, Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level when third in a maiden hurdle at Navan (2m) in November. Sets the standard. Nice pedigree; form of her 3rd here in November has worked out; placed in 2 bumpers since.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/1 -57%) Smiling Bess	11 11/1(-57%)	(11) Smiling Bess 11/1, Shaped with some encouragement in bumpers but more needed now hurdling. Placed in bumper on debut and shown ability without threatening since; may need further.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 -9%) Lazy Bones	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Lazy Bones 6/1, Some encouragement only start in bumpers but was weakening when falling heavily 2 out in a maiden hurdle at this course (15.7f, heavy) on debut in this sphere 20 days ago. Ability when 4th in a bumper and was involved when coming down since; heavy fall that day.
4	2 4th (2) (17/2 +0%) Fortuna Favente	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(2) Fortuna Favente 17/2, Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 9 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good). Off 6 months. Not without minor promise when fav on debut; struggled latest; well bred and may do better.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 +34%) Miss Vivacious	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Miss Vivacious 33/1, Showed a bit more than first time up over hurdles when sixth of 14 in a maiden at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 200/1) 38 days ago. Pulled up on belated return and tailed off when 200-1 since; shorter trip unlikely to help.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -257%) Mayos Vendangeur	100 100/1(-257%)	(7) Mayos Vendangeur 100/1, Showed a bit fitted with a tongue strap for debut when eighth of 12 in a bumper (66/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 47 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Tailed off 66-1 shot in a mares' bumper at Punchestown on debut in January.
7th	3 7th (3) (250/1 -150%) Good Time Belle	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Good Time Belle 250/1, Tailed off in 3 maiden hurdles. Tailed off on all three starts so far at triple figure odds; probably one for h'caps now.
8th	10 8th (10) (66/1 -200%) Raynbo	66 66/1(-200%)	(10) Raynbo 66/1, Pulled up in maiden hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy, 16/1) on debut 60 days ago, jumping poorly. Jumped poorly when 16-1 for her debut at Ayr in January and needs to leave that run behind.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 +34%) Noriska De La Mare	66 66/1(+34%)	(9) Noriska De La Mare 66/1, Well held in 2 maiden hurdles. Distant bumper 3rd on return but tailed off in three runs since; hard to make a case for.

Dam unraced half-sister to winning hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Somemanforoneman. Won sole start in points (Dec 2023).

12	12 \|PU\| (12) (125/1 -89%) Curzon Queen	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) Curzon Queen 125/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 1¼m, well held last time (sole outing for Daniel James Murphy). Likely outsider on hurdle debut. 0-12 on the Flat and showed a modest level of form; not bred for this.

The form of INSTANT TENDANCE's third place in a mares' maiden hurdle over C&D in November reads well in the context of this race. She has since been placed twice in bumpers, but a return to flights could see her off the mark. Jokers 'n' Clowns won a point-to-point in December for Warren Ewing and has switched to Gavin Cromwell for her track debut, so she has to be given plenty of respect. Fortuna Favente, a half-sister to Appreciate It no less, hasn't lived up to expectations so far, but may show more on her return from a break in a race lacking depth.

INSTANT TENDANCE sets a fair standard and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark unless point-recruit Jokers 'N' Clowns proves to be above average. Lazy Bones may prove best of the remainder.

Lazy Bones was still involved when coming down latest but INSTANCE TENDANCE is preferred with her November course form working out

14:10 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Navan Handicap Hurdle 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (10/3 -33%) Aodhan May	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(7) Aodhan May 10/3, On a quick hat-trick after wins here and at Punchestown (24.9f, heavy) in recent weeks. Likely capable of even better and can defy the handicapper again. Goes for hat-trick; seemingly relished 3m1f latest; now 9lb higher dropping 5f in trip.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 +0%) Chosen Diamond	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(9) Chosen Diamond 7/2, Winner in chase at Naas in November. Fell in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 10/3) 42 days ago. Has good chance on form. Still in with a big shout over C&D latest when falling heavily; 2lb rise is lenient.
3	10 3rd (10) (6/1 +29%) Maimie's Magic	6 6/1(+29%)	(10) Maimie's Magic 6/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, soft, 15/2) 15 days ago. Another to consider. Running well in defeat; fair Kelso 4th latest but this is tougher, despite her lower mark.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -40%) Ebasari	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Ebasari 14/1, 11/1, fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Can give a good account. Losing run is mounting up but back on a good mark; stamina to prove at this trip on heavy.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +11%) Upping The Anti	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Upping The Anti 4/1, Useful winner at 20f in chases. 9/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.5f, soft) 34 days ago. Yard in good form. Should go well again. Struggling before encouraging 2l defeat latest and will relish this longer trip.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 +69%) Rockbrook	5.5 11/2(+69%)	(8) Rockbrook 11/2, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in October. 11/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.5f, soft) 34 days ago. Stable won the race last year. 0-9; demoted earlier in season but hasn't built on that promising run since.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +52%) Carrig Carol	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Carrig Carol 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy) 65 days ago. Pulled up over fences 2 starts ago and didn't go a yard back over timber since.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 +15%) Smackwater Jack	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Smackwater Jack 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. First run since leaving Olly Murphy when pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Fairyhouse (24f, heavy) 35 days ago, pulled up early in straight. Pulled up latest on the back of another long absence and enough to prove now.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 -100%) El Capitaine	10 10/1(-100%)	(3) El Capitaine 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Off 13 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Lynch. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Plenty of promise in 3 runs last winter but may be best watched after more than 1 year off.

UPPING THE ANTI wasn't cutting much ice in high-quality races over fences, but showed much more in fourth when switched back to hurdles in Naas. With a hurdle mark some 25lb lower than his chase rating, one of these races is going to fall his way sooner rather than later. El Capitaine comes with risks reappearing for the first time in over a year for a new stable, however, he does look well handicapped on a mark of 114. He was last seen finishing third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse and that form has been emphatically endorsed by the winner, the runner-up and the fourth home. Chosen Diamond had closed on the leader when he fell at the last over C&D at this track at this track last month, so is an obvious contender. Aodhan May is in a good place at the minute having won over further here and in Punchestown. The handicapper has tacked on 9lb but this in-form mare's claims are hard to ignore.

AODHAN MAY only had to be pushed out at Punchestown last week and can make light of a 9 lb rise and complete a hat-trick. Chosen Diamond looked a big threat when falling at the last over C&D 6 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead's Upping The Anti.

PARTY PLAYBOY probably bounced on his second run back from an absence a fortnight ago and he showed he retained ability previously

14:40 Navan Handicap Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:15 Navan Maiden Hurdle 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 +38%) Kinturk Kalanisi	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(4) Kinturk Kalanisi 5/4, Fairly useful form. Second of 9 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (23.7f, soft, 15/8) 26 days ago. Smart form behind Largy Hill and Lucky Lyreen on last two starts and handles this ground.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +58%) Born Braver	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(1) Born Braver 11/4, Once-raced maiden. 10/1, second of 10 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Stable having good spell. Dual point winner last year and kept on well over insufficient 2m; longer trip will suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -400%) Last Round	40 40/1(-400%)	(5) Last Round 40/1, Getaway gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Banks Boy, stays 2½m, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Floral Fantasy. Newcomer from top stable. Check the betting. Getaway gelding; brother to 2 winners over jumps; this looks tough for a newcomer.
4	7 4th (7) (2/1 -60%) Special Cadeau	2 2/1(-60%)	(7) Special Cadeau 2/1, Promising sort. Useful bumper performer. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Naas (18.5f, soft, 11/2) on hurdles bow 34 days ago. Up in trip. Should have more to offer and the one to beat. Bumper winner in Britain; hasn't built on his promising yard debut subsequently; new trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -264%) Lough Owel	20 20/1(-264%)	(6) Lough Owel 20/1, Cost €255,000 after striking at the third time of asking in points last April. Has shaped like a stayer when placed in 2 bumpers this winter so this longer trip should suit now hurdling. Respected. Improving with each start and this point winner is bred to appreciate the step up in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (200/1 -203%) Kinbara Hills	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Kinbara Hills 200/1, Well held in Musselburgh bumper last month and 125/1 when unseating first in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse since. Significantly up in trip. Shaped okay when green on debut but unseated early when 125s for hurdle bow since.

KINTURK KALANISI has been placed over further trips in Cork and Punchestown, and could get his turn. His third in Cork behind a subsequent Grade 3 novice hurdle winner can be seen in a better light now. Former point-to-point winner Special Cadeau is up in trip on his second start over flights and there should be more to come from him for Willie Mullins. Born Braver was readily outgunned in second in a bumper over the minimum trip at Fairyhouse, however, he had a decent record 'between the flags', so this trip could see him make an impact on hurdle debut.

SPECIAL CADEAU can build on his Naas hurdle debut fourth and strike for Willie Mullins. Lough Owel should benefit from the increased test of stamina now hurdling and is second choice ahead of Punchestown runner-up Kinturk Kalanisi.

KINTURK KALANISI (nap) brings some really smart form to the table, notably his close up third to Largy Hill and he may progress further

15:48 Navan Maiden Chase 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (8/11 +12%) Blood Destiny	0.727273 8/11(+12%)	(2) Blood Destiny 8/11, Promising individual. 2/5, respectable 2 lengths second of 6 to Spillane's Tower in Killiney Novices' Chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft) 48 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Can reverse the placings back down in trip and on 3 lb better terms. Nice chase debut when making all but 2l behind Spillane's Tower since; 3lb better off.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 +7%) Spillane's Tower	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(1) Spillane's Tower 7/4, Smart chaser. Career best when winning 6-runner Killiney Novices' Chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft, 7/1) 48 days ago by 2 lengths from Blood Destiny, well on top finish. Should progress. Won last two, latest ahead of Blood Destiny and while 3lb worse off, he can confirm form.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -33%) Flanking Maneuver	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Flanking Maneuver 16/1, Useful chaser. 18/1, 18¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Grangeclare West in Neville Hotels (Fort Leney) Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, soft) 64 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Made errors when fourth behind Grangeclare West and looks vulnerable right down in trip.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -50%) Farmers Lodge	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Farmers Lodge 12/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 5/4, career best when winning 9-runner novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 38 days ago. Open to improvement but this is a big step up. Progressed to win chase debut; should progress but needs to have a say at this level.

BLOOD DESTINY is 3lb better off with Spillane's Tower after losing out by two lengths to him over further in Punchestown and it could tip the balance his way. He attempted to make all in that Grade 3, but was collared in the closing stages. He has been impressive over this trip in hurdle races at Cork and Fairyhouse and could get into a good rhythm. Spillane's Tower has to give 7lb to all three rivals, but he is a tough sort and there was plenty of merit in that Punchestown victory. He is more than capable of putting in a strong finish. Flanking Maneuver couldn't make an impression in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas, but ought to find this company more palatable. This is quite a drop in trip for him, though. Farmers Lodge won a beginners' chase over C&D last month and isn't out of it, but this is a stiff task on paper for him.

BLOOD DESTINY seemed to get outstayed by Spillane's Tower in a similar event at Punchestown 7 weeks ago and is fancied to reverse the placings back down in trip and on 3 lb better terms.

SPILLANE'S TOWER can confirm the recent Gr 3 Punchestown form with Blood Destiny given that he was value for the winning margin

15:48 Navan Maiden Chase 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:23 Navan Conditions Chase 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (7/2 -27%) Ash Tree Meadow	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(1) Ash Tree Meadow 7/2, Very smart chaser. Six wins from 16 NH runs. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 27¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Ferny Hollow in Newlands Chase (6/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Leading claims. Won Gr 3 match at Down Royal; probably unsuited by 2m since; return to further may be key.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +35%) Lucid Dreams	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(5) Lucid Dreams 11/2, Smart chaser. C&D winner. Six wins from 17 NH runs. 6 wins from 15 runs this season. 15/2, well-beaten fourth of 5 to Saint Sam in Red Mills Chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 14 days ago. Claims if he can get back on track. Tailed off last 2 starts, including in similar event a fortnight ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/6 +19%) Journey With Me	0.666667 4/6(+19%)	(2) Journey With Me 4/6, Smart chaser. 9/4, fell in Champion Novices' Chase at Punchestown (24.3f, good to soft) won by Feronily. Had looked smart prior to that and may have more to offer, so strong contender back from 10 months off with a tongue strap applied. Jumping frailties but lots of ability; best watched on belated return with tongue-tie.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -146%) Fighting Fit	16 16/1(-146%)	(4) Fighting Fit 16/1, Useful chaser. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Listowel in September. 16/1, ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft) 49 days ago. Tailed off in Grr 3 latest and yet to show his best form at this trip; career best needed.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 +11%) Andy Dufresne	16 16/1(+11%)	(3) Andy Dufresne 16/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Fifteenth of 21 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Smart in his pomp but lost his way over both fences and hurdles in last 12 months.

JOURNEY WITH ME can return from a lengthy absence with a victory. Henry de Bromhead's charge has plenty of ability as evidenced by a three-length success in a Grade 3 novice chase on his penultimate start in Naas. He fell in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival last April, but should be able to get into his stride in this small field on ground he enjoys. Galway Plate winner Ash Tree Meadow likes to dictate and is a strong stayer. He is likely to make this a searching test albeit he may not want the ground to be too deep. Fighting Fit was in a rich vein of form before a below-par effort in a Grade 3 handicap chase here last month.

ASH TREE MEADOW has the best form and he's likely to strip fitter for his latest effort at Naas, so he takes marginal preference over Journey With Me, who enjoyed a productive campaign prior to falling at Punchestown 10 months ago. Lucid Dreams can't be completely dismissed.

ASH TREE MEADOW was unsuited by a drop in trip last week but can bounce back against these rivals in a below par race for the grade

16:58 Navan Handicap Chase 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

JUMPING JET can make a winning foray into handicap company. She has been picking up prize money in beginners' chases and should enjoy dropping down from finishing fourth in a Listed mares' novices' chase at Thurles this month. Danny Gilligan's 5lb claim has her on an appealing mark. Kates Hill has really found her form in recent months and is a big player. A couple of runner-up berths at Naas and Punchestown sandwiched a Punchestown beginners' chase success in January. She is clearly on a mark she can be effective off and gets first-time cheekpieces. Intersky Sunset reverts back to fences after a couple of placed runs over flights in Clonmel.

Gordon Elliott took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with JUMPING JET who has less on her plate than when fourth in a Thurles listed chase last time and can open her account in this sphere. Punchestown-scorer Kates Hill rates much the biggest threat, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out some improvement. Intersky Sunset appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

KATES HILL was a little unlucky not to make it 2 wins from her last 2 chase starts last time and cheekpieces may help eke out more
