Spotlight: Showed a good attitude to gain third success over hurdles when holding off Morell River by a neck at Punchestown (23.5f, gd) eight days ago; not an obvious type to follow up but he was 13lb out of the handicap that day so is effectively just 2lb higher here; chance of following up.

Spotlight: Improved for the step up to 2m3f at this track 15 days ago when beaten 7l into third by Blue Reed; leading chance if handling extra distance.

Spotlight: Finished a decent third, albeit well-held, here last year over 2m3f off 9lb higher; failed to build on that since; midfield at Clonmel on return and fell two out last time at Limerick when losing ground; tries a new trip.

Spotlight: 0-44 but placed ten times over hurdles and stayed on to good effect at Sligo (2m5f, yld) six days ago; looked ready for this step back up in trip again and has claims.

Spotlight: 0-10 but was knocking on the door last year, going close at Perth and Galway over this trip on good and yielding ground; below form on return at Sligo 34 days ago but entitled to progress from that and she's off the same mark off which she was beaten a head at Galway in October; in top hands and one of the more likely ones.

Spotlight: Ran okay in a Cork maiden hurdle (2m7f, yld) in April but well beaten in two handicaps since; needs improvement in first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Hasn't found improvement since switching to handicaps, well-held on both starts; hard to fancy from basement mark.

Spotlight: Little promise in first four starts but fared better on second start at this track in handicap company when beaten 12.5l into eighth behind Blue Reed over 2m3f; this trip likely within reach but needs improvement.

Spotlight: Veteran who is 0-21 but was placed on heavy twice last year; below that form three times since on drier ground.

Spotlight: Showed a glimmer of promise when eighth in a maiden hurdle in December at Thurles (2m, yld) but has been well-held in two handicaps since, including when stepping up in trip at Tramore last time; goes further in distance now dropped 2lb.

Spotlight: Standout run in 12 efforts came over 2m1f at Wexford last year when 3.75l second off 6lb higher; never a factor on return 38 days ago and needs to prove he stays this distance.

Spotlight: Easy wins at Down Royal and Wexford (3m1f, gd) over fences last year and decent runs in defeat after; pulled up early at Wexford last month and bit to prove back over hurdles.

Spotlight: Hinted at ability in bumpers but has disappointed in four starts over hurdles and hard to have confidence in.

Spotlight: Second reserve; won handicap hurdle at Roscommon (2m, gd) in 2022 and wasn't disgraced in three runs returning from a long absence in 2024; third in point-to-point when last seen and could figure.

Spotlight: Went close at Down Royal (3m, gd) off 1lb lower in October but failed to build on that in two starts since on soft; return to good ground could bring about an improved showing, however, after 165 days off.

Spotlight: Step in right direction on third start when beaten 25l in maiden hurdle at Tramore (2m6f, gd) 16 days ago; steps up in trip on handicap debut from potentially lenient mark.
