Spotlight: In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade.

Spotlight: Veteran rolled back the years when winning at Cork in November off 84 under today's rider (2m, yielding to soft); moderate efforts followed, but encouragement to take from his 3l third in a Clonmel claimer when last seen; blows hot and cold but no surprise to see him involved off just 3lb above his last winning mark.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner was placed once in bumpers; poor form in maidens and out of depth in a Listed race in December; improved for switch to handicaps last time when taking third at Thurles (2m1f, soft to heavy); up 3lb for that but in the mix with a repeat.

Spotlight: Dual winning hurdler with most recent win coming at Gowran in March 2024 off 97 (2m4f, heavy); has generally struggled this term, his 14l sixth of 13 at Gowran last time being one of his better efforts; others preferred.

Spotlight: Gained first win in close to four years when scoring on the inner track here in a handicap hurdle this month (2m, heavy); weakened disappointingly at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) from revised mark last time when 5-2; hard to trust.

Spotlight: Moderate form in bumpers and hasn't improved for switch to hurdles; tailed off at Naas last time (2m, heavy); enters handicap company now which maybe can help.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; no wins from 12 starts, but has gone close on several occasions (placed five times); best watched after a long layoff and won't be suited by heavy conditions.

Spotlight: 50-1 Killarney juvenile maiden hurdle winner in July; didn't run to the same level at Listowel in September and beaten 23l on the Flat at Roscommon when last seen in October; may get involved at this level, although break to overcome.

Spotlight: Bolted up in Gowran handicap hurdle in October off 86 (2m4f, soft); poor at Punchestown next time in a better race, and return to the scene of his win didn't help last time when he was tailed off, reported to be blowing hard post race (2m4f, heavy); player if bouncing back.

Spotlight: Third in a point-to-point; long odds and well beaten in three maiden hurdles; didn't jump with fluency for his handicap debut at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) but kept on for a moderate fifth; more needed.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; C&D winner in 2022 added his first success since then when victorious at Gowran in January off 93 (2m, heavy); beaten 19.5l into third by Donnrua Dream here next time and poor effort when tailed off at Gowran latest; form is in and out.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; Flat maiden; sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle this time last year (2m, good); has found it hard going in handicaps since then.

Spotlight: Yet to show winning potential; tailed off in three starts this season; tongue tie on now.

Spotlight: Unplaced in 25 starts; weakening and fell at two out at Cork last time at 66-1; unlikely.
