Spotlight: Flat winner improved on maiden hurdle runs when a 6.5l fifth of 15 on handicap debut at Sligo four days ago, racing a shade keenly and weakening late; place shout off the same mark if settling better.

Spotlight: Left modest maiden form behind to run a fine race when 1.75l second on handicap debut at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld); stayed on well from the back that day so whether this sharper track will suit is up for debate, but unexposed and enters calculations.

Spotlight: Consistent and holding form well enough in handicaps; beaten around 6l off this mark the last twice, at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); step back up to this trip should suit; in the mix again.

Spotlight: Glimmers of promise in maidens before fine 1l second on handicap debut at Limerick in March (2m, soft); didn't quite see out 2m4f at Wexford on latest (gd-yld); stamina a query again here.

Spotlight: Off the mark off 6lb lower in Tramore handicap hurdle in April (20.5f, yielding); came up short off revised rating at Clonmel; was feeling the pinch when unseating two out at Tramore latest; place shout.

Spotlight: Two wins last season included one here over 2m7f (yielding) off 4lb lower; has also won a chase here and is 2-3 at this venue; should be sharper for latest run after break over an inadequate trip, but probably not much wriggle room off this mark.

Spotlight: 0-9 over hurdles; best efforts have come on soft and soft to heavy ground; beaten 15l on soft at Limerick on latest and only 1lb lower here; more needed.

Spotlight: Maiden seemed to appreciate the step up to 22.5f (good) at Clonmel last time when keeping on for a 9.25l third; eased 1lb, but not sure whether the drop back in trip here will suit.

Spotlight: Four wins over hurdles, the most recent coming in this race last year off 2lb lower on yielding to soft, his second win over C&D; out of depth on the Flat last time, but this is more suitable and acts on good ground; player.

Spotlight: 1-24 over hurdles, the win coming over 3m on heavy ground at Clonmel in 2023; is now 12lb lower, but has disappointed the last twice after showing a bit more at Clonmel in May.

Spotlight: Solid placed maiden form on good ground last season; struggled in testing conditions the last twice, including on handicap debut at Cork in December; returns from a break now with ground to suit, so check the market.

Spotlight: Veteran's five career wins include a handicap chase here in August 2024 (2m5f, yielding); that's the last time he won and pulled up on return from long layoff at Listowel 47 days ago.

Spotlight: Showed little in maidens and well beaten on handicap debut here over 2m1f last October (2m1f, yielding); brought down two out when near the rear at Downpatrick on return from break; a bit to prove.

Spotlight: AW winner on the Flat; 0-5 over hurdles and pulled up in first two handicaps; can only be watched for now.

Spotlight: 16-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level in two runs since returning from a break, the latest over fences; more needed.
