Spotlight :
Big improver over the larger obstacles since joining this yard and returns to this sphere a whopping 36lb lower that his chase mark; probably wants it a bit softer than what is likely but he's so well treated on his chase form, it probably won't matter.

Spotlight :
Had threatened in handicap chases for a while and got his day in the sun when winning here over Christmas, producing a career best in the process; has a 7lb lower hurdle mark to work with here and he won this race back in 2023 (from mark of 125) so there's plenty in his favour; should be firmly in the mix.

Spotlight :
Went close to following up a course success when beaten just under a length in this race last year; in reasonable form this term and the rider is value for the 7lb he can still claim; each-way player.

Spotlight :
Has won four of his last five starts and was only caught out by a marked drop in trip in his defeat; game effort to fight back and win by a head at Navan in December and there's a chance he'll come on for that first run in four months; has an each-way chance despite hefty 9lb hike.

Came on from his yard debut/return to win at Navan last time out and well worth another try at this sort of trip; however, 9lb higher in a much tougher race and the more rain the better.

Just behind Flicker Of Hope at Navan last time out but he's up 5lb for that success and may want it softer than what is likely; not fully exposed at this trip at least.

Followed up his maiden hurdle success with a handicap hurdle win at Fairyhouse last season off mark of 125 but hasn't shown enough in three starts since and probably wants it more testing than what is likely here.

Beat Sounds Victorius in a bumper here on rules debut and got off the mark over timber at the first attempt at Galway; hasn't really built on that since but there's a chance this point winner will appreciate the step up in trip.
