Spotlight: Half-brother to winning hurdler/chasers Lazer Wolf and Bilbo Bagins; smart bumper form last season, winning here on debut (bought afterwards for 300,000GBP) and made all on final start at Fairyhouse in April (yielding-to-soft); in between didn't get home as well on heavy when third to a lesser-fancied stablemate in Grade 2 Leopardstown contest; smart novice hurdle prospect, tried in a tongue-tie on seasonal return.

Spotlight: Shirocco half-brother to winners Inion Tiogair (bumper/2m3f hurdle) and Tiger Bay Queen (bumper); dam 3m hurdle winner; won sole point start for Tom Lacey last year and much improved on second bumper start to win on heavy at Fairyhouse; Punchestown festival fourth was a solid run too; one to consider on hurdles debut.

Spotlight: Some promise in bumpers but lots to find on recent maiden hurdle debut at Fairyhouse.

Spotlight: Order Of St George gelding cost 58,000euros as a foal and 68,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to winners, notably Supreme Novice Hurdle winner Labaik; dam French 5.5f winner; point-to-point form last season nothing to shout about; best watched on rules debut.
