Spotlight: First foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Hawk Island (smart Australian 1m-1m2f), Rock The Stars (1m-1m2f) and Hawkhill (1m-1m1f Flat/useful 2m-2m5f hurdle); surprise winner of Navan academy hurdle (soft) in December and improved markedly from bumper debut at Naas to win similar contest last month, coming off slowish pace to beat Apache Peak 3.5l (soft-to-heavy) in first-time hood; meets that rival on same terms here and can confirm the form.

Spotlight: Fascinating Rock filly is closely related to winners Jaega (Group-placed 1m2f; RPR 101) and Killaloan (2m hurdle), half-sister to three winners; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m hurdlers Midnight Oil and Cartwright; easy in the market on recent Leopardstown debut, staying on late into third behind an all-the-way winner and favourite; improvement likely.

Spotlight: Half-brother to three winners inc Mind The Crack (11.6f/1m4f; RPR 97) and Mackenberg (bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase); dam placed in Germany, half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas/French Derby winner Brametot; runner-up on all three starts (soft-to-heavy), in Fairyhouse academy hurdle in November and in Naas bumpers came late to chase home a ready 9l winner and ridden handier when outpaced by a 3.5l winner Coole Cafe last month; considered but a couple of these may have more scope for improvement.

Spotlight: Half-brother to French 1m3f winner Lionel De Mars; dam French 8.5f-10.5f winner, half-sister to winners Tyson Fury (useful 1m4f/2m) and Eirene (5f 2yo Listed); keen enough on last month's debut in finishing a long way ahead of the remainder when second in Punchestown 4yo bumper (soft), only caught late on having gone clear in straight then hanging left; top amateur now takes over and major player.

Spotlight: Getaway half-sister to 2m hurdle winner Havefunontherun; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner, closely related to smart bumper and 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Mossley; interesting jockey booking so worth a market check on debut.
