Spotlight: Benefitted from return to soft ground, being dropped in the handicap and far more positive tactics when making all over a mile here seven days ago on his eighth start, winning cosily by 5l; has to recover quickly and probably will try dominate from the front again; obvious contender under a penalty but more on his plate down in trip.

Spotlight: Improved for switch to handicaps last month and dropped back to this trip to good effect when scoring at Down Royal; followed up under a penalty dropped to 6f at the Curragh eight days ago easily by 3.5l in a good time; now 14lb higher but she's lightly raced and hard to know her ceiling; not guaranteed to handle soft but leading player nonetheless.

Spotlight: Two-time winner, including over this trip on heavy at Gowran Park last year off 8lb lower; latest win at Bellewstown (1m, g/y) in August; satisfactory return over inadequate trip at Navan 26 days ago; 3lb drop generous and player with ground likely to suit.

Spotlight: Improved for switch to handicaps and good ground when second at Roscommon last month before going one better at Fairyhouse (7f, gd) 14 days ago when making all to beat Elly Bay by 0.5l, showing good attitude after racing keenly; up 5lb and improving but soft ground a negative.

Spotlight: Largely consistent veteran, 7-74 in his career and made the frame on three visits to this track, including seven days ago when 5l fourth to Bella Isabella; handles soft; needs things to fall right given how he's ridden; drawn wide; each-way chance if granted a solid pace to aim at.

Spotlight: Two wins last year on good ground, including at Roscommon off 80; bounced back to form with encouraging third at same track last month before backing that up under positive ride at Down Royal 13 days ago when 1.5l second to Faoladh; definitely capable off this mark but soft ground a concern.

Spotlight: C&D winner last April for Paul Stafford off 13lb lower; positive start for new yard when staying on strongly to land Fairyhouse handicap (6f, good) 14 days ago by 0.5l off a seven-month layoff; up in trip and 4lb higher; handles soft; should go well again.

Spotlight: Six-time winner, including here as a 2yo; ran well here twice last summer but has been out of form this term; 11th of 15 at Roscommon 24 days ago; down 4lb and hard to recommend.

Spotlight: Best run in six efforts came in Killarney maiden (1m, soft) in October when 5.5l to Lady Lilac; mild signs of promise in two runs this term, latest at Gowran Park 22 days ago when beaten 3.25l into fourth over 7f on good to yielding in a claimer; dropped 4lb and Colin Keane takes over for yard in good form; could be on a nice mark and each-way chance.

Spotlight: Much-improved effort on fifth run when going close to landing a gamble at Down Royal (7f, gd) in September, beaten 2l into third by Sovereign Thought; travelled through the race like she was well treated; up 4lb and off 279 days; soft ground an unknown.

Spotlight: Maiden after 16 starts; best efforts have come on the AW; has found some consistency on turf the last three times; beaten 2l into sixth at Down Royal (7f, gd) 13 days ago despite being keen; dropped 1lb; soft ground a question mark.

Spotlight: Two-time winner on soft ground in 2023; signs his turn could be near again when placed at Galway in September before two below-par runs over a mile; drop in trip and ground will suit; off 241 days.

Spotlight: Best run in three maidens came at Navan (6f, soft) in October when beaten 7l into sixth by Michael's Well; down the field at the Curragh 53 days ago; bred to appreciate step up in trip and opening mark looks reasonable.

Spotlight: Nine-time winner, latest over a year ago at Naas (6f, gd) off 3lb higher before good third at the Curragh; returned from layoff to be beaten 10l in claimer at Fairyhouse 14 days ago; that leaves him with plenty to find up in trip.

Spotlight: Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb.

Spotlight: Stayed on well to win Bellewstown handicap (1m, gd) in August but never landed a blow in two starts after; trainer has more obvious chance with Only One Scobie; off 254 days.
