Spotlight: Went closest to scoring when just denied in a Punchestown handicap over 2m in January (well-backed) on soft to heavy ground; raced keenly over 3m on return at the same track last month; 5-2 favourite at Clonmel last time but was a disappointing seventh; cheekpieces go on and Cobden rides for the first time so he must be respected.

Spotlight: Best effort by far came on her third handicap start at Kilbeggan last time when a 1.5l runner-up (3m1f, good to yielding); that was positive and she's a player if she can keep it going.

Spotlight: 0-18 (14 over hurdles) but went closer than ever at Limerick over 2m6f (soft) last time when beaten just 1l in second under today's rider; up 2lb but she's of definite interest.

Spotlight: Winless from 13 starts over hurdles but some good runs in defeat; bounced back from a poor Clonmel run at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when running on well to take third in the final strides; thereabouts off the same mark.

Spotlight: Pulled up in opening two handicaps and well beaten at Clonmel in May; however, he showed a lot more when fourth of 12 at Limerick last time; needs to continue on the up.

Spotlight: Second reserve; won off 2lb lower at Ballinrobe in Aigust (2m6f, good); remote second on chase debut at Kelso on seasonal return; hampered and unseated at the fourth flight back over hurdles at Kilbeggan last time; chance with a run.

Spotlight: Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle for Paul Nolan in 2024 off 90; 0-9 chasing for that yard but made the frame on several occasions; much improved display compared to stable debut when keeping on for third of 14 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last time.

Spotlight: Improved efforts in final two maiden hurdles upon encountering good ground; rain-softened ground wasn't in his favour on handicap debut at Sligo (officially good) when fifth over an extended 2m4f; worth another chance on proper good ground.

Spotlight: Improved for switch to handicap company over hurdles when third at Cork (3m, yielding) before scoring at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) off 87; creditable return to chasing at Punchestown last time when sixth; winning rider back aboard and not dismissed.

Spotlight: Third reserve; sole success in 26 hurdle starts came at Sligo in Aug' off 6lb lower; should come on for creditable fifth on return at Kilbeggan.

Spotlight: Dual hurdles winner in 2024, the second of them coming over this C&D (soft); has improved with each of her three runs this year and was a 6.5l third of ten at Listowel last time (3m, good to yielding); didn't travel with much verve that day but her mark is falling.

Spotlight: Record of 0-9 in point-to-points; best of four maiden hurdles was on debut at Leopardstown when a 23l sixth; moderate chase debut at Downpatrick in May when a 13l ninth; visor replaced the previously worn cheekpieces for his handicap debut but others are more appealing.

Spotlight: Won a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Killarney in 2024; fairly lightly raced since then but her runs haven't been too encouraging, although ran well for a 66-1 shot at Wexford last time when fifth of 14 (2m4f, good to yielding); shaped like this trip was worth a go that day.

Spotlight: Went close at Down Royal (3m, good) off this mark in October but failed to build on that in two runs afterwards on soft; more promising was her return at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when a 7.75l fifth of 14 back from a break; 6.25l behind Katie's Casper that day but entitled to improve over that seasonal return.

Spotlight: First reserve; 1-23, with the win coming at Listowel in May last year (23.5f, good) off 85; lost his form in final start for Brian McMahon and that has continued in three runs for new yard.

Spotlight: Won a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle in 2024 (2m7f, good) off 82; out of form in final two hurdle starts in 2024 and three runs over fences last autumn didn't bring any improvement; best watched back from a break.

Spotlight: Weakened into sixth of 18 at Down Royal on handicap debut in March (2m5f, yielding); poor over fences twice following that and pulled up at Punchestown back over hurdles last time; best watched.

Spotlight: Placed in a point but failed to complete her two others; his 25l ninth at Tramore last time was his best run under rules but much more needed on handicap bow.

Spotlight: Placed just once from 12 starts over hurdles; beaten 15.5l at Sligo over hurdles and tailed off at Kilbeggan over fences last time; others preferred.
