Spotlight: Sole win in 19 starts came in handicap chase at Tramore (2m6f, yld) last year; shaped well when staying-on fourth at Sligo last month and backed it up when beaten 2.5l into second by Mickey Hulie at Limerick 18 days ago; shapes as if step up in trip will suit and leading claims off 2lb higher with claimer taking off 7lb.

Spotlight: Course and distance winner in May off 9lb lower who has won twice (once over fences) and placed once from four visits here; finished last year with going close at Tipperary; well beaten on return at Punchestown last month but that was his first run in nine months so entitled to come on for it; reliable around here and big chance if he can progress from first run of the year.

Spotlight: Fared better on second start in a handicap when beaten 15l into fourth at Wexford (3m, gd) 19 days ago in first-time cheekpieces; they're left on and he has each-way claims if building on that.

Spotlight: 0-17 but largely consistent in six starts in 2024 and 2025; was only beaten 1.5l into fourth off 4lb higher at Galway (3m, yld) in October; fell four out on return at Punchestown and weakened tamely at Clonmel last time; on a nice mark but needs more

Spotlight: Sole win in ten starts came off 2lb lower at Ballinrobe in August (2m6f, gd) before respectable eighth of 20 in 3m Down Royal handicap in October; remote second on chase debut at Kelso 22 days ago but could come on plenty for that and is a player.

Spotlight: Showed a bit in bumpers last year and was running okay at Clonmel 81 days ago before being brought down, albeit was on the retreat; well-treated based on early form if he can build on that up in trip.

Spotlight: Proved progressive last year, scoring at Cork (18.5f, gd) in October either side of runner-up finishes; pulled up and fell early in two starts this year so needs to bounce back up in trip.

Spotlight: First positive run in a while when beaten 5l into third at Clonmel (19.5f, gd) in May but failed to build on that when no impression at Tramore 17 days ago; step up in trip not sure to suit.

Spotlight: Entitled to need comeback run at Sligo after a long lay-off and ran just respectably when beaten 20l into fifth at Limerick 18 days ago; dropped 11lb in the weights since decent fifth at Roscommon in 2024 so could be well-treated but needs more up in trip.

Spotlight: No impact in three maiden hurdles; starts handicapping from fair mark and takes a big step up in trip.

Spotlight: Modest form in seven starts but took small step in right direction at this track a year ago when beaten 17.5l into fifth off 9lb higher; tailed off over hurdles and fences since; returns after 305 days off and needs plenty more.

Spotlight: Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure.

Spotlight: Sole success in 25 hurdle starts came when making all easily at Sligo (25.5f, gd) in August, won by 15l off 7lb lower; well-held in two starts since and returns from 234 days off; mark probably a bit high but 7lb claimer helps.

Spotlight: Nothing of note in four maiden hurdles; steps up in trip on handicap bow.

Spotlight: Little impact in maiden hurdles and never a factor in two handicap starts this year; hopes pinned on step up in trip.

Spotlight: Tailed off in four starts in maiden hurdles; big step up in trip on handicap debut.
