Spotlight: Placed in a decent point and ran well on handicap debut when third of 19 at Down Royal (2m4f, yielding) in March; well held at the festival here, but should be competitive back down in grade

Spotlight: Five-time Flat winner in Britain; rightly got controversial 2m4f Limerick handicap hurdle in the stewards' room after being badly hampered by the first past the post; finished off well that day and likely drier ground here is a positive.

Spotlight: Fair performer on the Flat (rated 68) and his latest two runs in that sphere have been fine; experienced rider on board for handicap debut .

Spotlight: Best form is over 2m and previous attempts over around 2m4f haven't worked out; can go well fresh which he again demonstrated at Ballinrobe, but not sure to back that up.

Spotlight: In receipt of plenty of weight from Qaasid when beating that rival in claimer at Clonmel in February; remote second in another claimer a week later; headgear removed for stable debut.

Spotlight: Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp.

Spotlight: Point winner has been fourth in first two handicaps and only beaten around 3l over 2m4f at Wexford last time.

Spotlight: Bumper winner on debut, yet to add to that; his fifth of 23 in 2m4f Leopardstown handicap over Christmas would give him a chance; well beaten on bad ground next time; had a spin on the Flat last month.

Spotlight: Two handicap wins on nice ground last summer, over a similar trip to this at Clonmel and then over nearly 3m at Tipperary; off 10 months.

Spotlight: Plenty of placed efforts but is a long-standing maiden over hurdles; fair Flat run last month; only 11-2 at Clonmel on Friday, but was soundly beaten.

Spotlight: Won modest 2m5f maiden in Sligo last summer; well beaten in two handicap starts, but probably needed return; rider has had a fine year in point-to-points.

Spotlight: Formerly useful for Wille Mullins and ran okay in Flat maidens in the autumn, but his recent hurdles form has been poor and mark on the slide.

Spotlight: Won 2m5f Sligo handicap on good ground last summer and her reappearance fifth at Bellewstown wasn't a bad effort over a trip too short; tailed off on chase debut last month.

Spotlight: Three hurdle wins but this is his first run in this discipline since 2024; couple of fair runs over fences this year and will like the ground.

Spotlight: Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; couple of good runs over fences last summer; poor efforts over hurdles last two starts and off since November.

Spotlight: Old boy had a good career across the codes for the late Edward O'Grady; had been out of action since summer of 2023 until resuming in point-to-points last month.
