Spotlight: Outstanding bumper horse in 2022/23 season; encouraging enough hurdles debut here last season but let down by jumping on more testing ground at Naas subsequently; switched to Flat this year, notably winning Leopardstown amateur maiden (good); nothing special about fifth placing at Down Royal four weeks ago; however, this mark offers scope.

Spotlight: 150-rated chaser with two Grade 1 seconds to his name, beaten by Impaire Et Passe at Limerick and by Caldwell Potter at Aintree; 16lb lower over hurdles, but this burden appears daunting on his seasonal debut.

Spotlight: Made a winning debut in 2m2f Down Royal maiden in May; backed that up with 2m1f Punchestown novice win following month; made a few little errors at Galway; unseated two out on handicap debut at Bellewstown; fair chance if eliminating mistakes.

Spotlight: Not at his best over fences lately; has a decent record over hurdles, two wins and three places from six starts; unwise to rule out.

Spotlight: Mostly campaigned over fences last season; not a bad hurdles run when fourth in a 2m4f handicap at Killarney in May (yielding); plenty of weight here.

Spotlight: Lacks a recent run but respected as a C&D winner for his locally-based trainer; ran a fine race when fifth in a 25-runner handicap at last season's Punchestown festival.

Spotlight: Getting on in years but made a bright start for this trainer/rider partnership when a long-priced third at Navan 13 days ago; has an edge over Billy Lee Swagger on that running.

Spotlight: Runner-up on the Flat in France; fair maiden hurdle form last term; probably capable of improvement from recent handicap debut at Navan; cheekpieces on now.

Spotlight: Fourth in a strong Punchestown festival handicap; not at the same level in two runs since return from a break.

Spotlight: Both hurdle wins at Wexford; ended last term with a promising Naas third in a 16-runner handicap; capable of a good showing if matching that form

Spotlight: Locally-trained course winner; off since Downpatrick success in May on good ground; 6lb higher now and might prefer better going.

Spotlight: Won twice as a novice early last season; two poor runs in handicaps at Newton Abbot and Listowel since Wexford second in August.

Spotlight: Course winner over fences last season (2m6f, soft); has been found wanting in valuable handicap chases; possible he will need this to boost his confidence.

Spotlight: Most recent of three hurdle wins for this rider was in a 2m4f Cork handicap in January 2024; faller at the third at Galway five weeks ago after a lengthy absence; stiff task against that background.

Spotlight: Flat and hurdles winner; two Flat runs should have advanced his fitness for first run over hurdles in over two years and only his third in all; tongue-tie on

Spotlight: Suited by this trip but has been out of form over fences; hard to be confident in a race like this against that background.

Spotlight: Useful four-time jumps winner; struggled in a Flat run on yard debut; limited appeal as a near-veteran.

Spotlight: Back-to-back wins in August, on the Flat at Roscommon (1m4f, good) and over hurdles at Wexford (2m1f, good); well-beaten favourite over hurdles at Gowran early last month; better on the Flat at the same venue last time; tongue-tie on now.

Spotlight: 1-15 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m7f at Punchestown in October 2023; uneven form last season; others preferred.

Spotlight: Progressive two seasons ago, landing all three handicap starts at trips ranging from 2m2f-2m6f, rising from an opening mark of 94 up to 124; seems to have had issues since; down the field here on only run last term; has joined Cian Collins from Mark Fahey.

Spotlight: Grade 2 winner in a match at Limerick three seasons ago; has slumped in the ratings; still a relatively young horse and has a fair chance on his old form; however, a risky proposition at the moment.
