Spotlight: 2m4f Listowel winner on handicap debut last September and back to form last month at Limerick and Naas, cheekpieces worn second occasion now replaced by a tongue-tie; topweight respected but needs to be more fluent.

Spotlight: Placed over 3m and 2m4f in first two handicap hurdle starts at premier tracks (yielding); okay comeback run at Fairyhouse last month and probably won't have to improve too much to have a say here.

Spotlight: Won Downpatrick maiden last autumn and a solid handicap run there next time; back from underwhelming start to chasing career with good second in 2m6f Down Royal novice handicap hurdle last month (good); cheekpieces left off on latest now reinstated.

Spotlight: First reserve; point-to-point winner but little of note hurdling until much-improved when just denied over this trip at Fairyhouse in February (soft); not quite at same level in similar Gowran contest following month but remains off interest if handling these quicker conditions.

Spotlight: Notched up back-to-back wins at Kilbeggan and Cork last summer and has remained competitive in the autumn; back from winter break but may just need this.

Spotlight: Third reserve; 0-9 over hurdles, best efforts when close third over C&D and last month when third over 2m when forcing it; place claims if getting a run.

Spotlight: Two-time hurdles winner last year including over this trip off 99 at Punchestown (good); held off this mark over today's C&D afterwards and been chasing since to little avail; probably has a bit to find at the weights on hurdles return.

Spotlight: Off the mark hurdling in 2m3f Limerick maiden at Christmas but pulled up in Fairyhouse handicap before stiff task when well beaten (ran above handicap mark) in 2m conditions event here last month; may yet have more to offer.

Spotlight: Second reserve; maiden's best run came when close third over 3m at Leopardstown in March (yielding), hasn't got home nearly as well twice since at same trip; back in trip here.

Spotlight: Narrowly beaten in good-ground Gowran 3yo maiden last autumn but not at same level since on softer ground; back from a break with ground in his favour but trip an unknown.

Spotlight: Maiden was twice runner-up in soft-ground 2m handicaps this time last year; placed at Limerick over Christmas when headgear went on but needs to improve on recent efforts; quicker ground a concern.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner (yielding) with midfield finishes in all three maiden hurdles; potential improver entering handicaps.

Spotlight: Modest Flat maiden was a fine third on hurdling debut at Killarney last August but hasn't progressed, dropping away tamely at Kilbeggan last time; previous Down Royal run over this trip not without merit so not one to totally rule out.

Spotlight: Placed twice in good-ground maidens last summer; recent handicap efforts leave him with plenty to find.

Spotlight: Well held in maiden hurdles and again in two handicaps, latest after lengthy absence at Clonmel last month for new yard; hard to give a chance to on scant evidence so far.

Spotlight: Shown nothing in four runs since a handicap hurdle success in 2023 (2m6f Tramore) and well held on yard debut on last month's return; best watched for now.
