Spotlight :
Came on from his yard debut/return to win easily at Navan (2m4f, yielding to soft) off 115 under forceful tactics in December; acquitted himself very well from 9lb higher in a much tougher race when eighth of 25 in 3m Listed handicap at Leopardstown; drop in trip will suit and he's a big contender.

Spotlight :
Gained second win over timber when hacking up at Naas off 116 in November; excellent fifth of 20 in 2m4f Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in December, an effort which can be marked up as he was slowly away; big player from same mark.

Spotlight :
Grade 2-winning hurdler in 2022 has been set some stiff tasks, including four tries in Grade 1 company; fair effort behind Brighterdaysahead in the Morgiana but didn't run well from a lenient mark on handicap debut at Navan last month.

Spotlight :
Heavy-ground bumper winner last term; won over hurdles on stable debut at Galway (form has been franked) before a close-up third in Thurles novice hurdle; out of his depth in Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival but could be thrown in off 130 on handicap bow.

Spotlight :
Three-time chase winner and dual-winning hurdler; arrives here on the back of an impressive chase win off 119 at Limerick in December; won't get such an easy lead here but he's potentially well treated back over hurdles.

Spotlight :
Tremendously progressive as a 6yo, landing all three handicap starts at trips ranging from 2m2f-2m6f, rising from an opening mark of 94 up to 124; clearly had his issues as he's been off the track 570 days so a watching brief is advised; hooded.

Spotlight :
Four-time winner under rules; latest win came off 133 in Wexford handicap chase last April; made mockery of his mark when 21l winner of this race last year; 9lb higher now but contender if he can recapture that form.

1-12 over hurdles; best effort in handicaps when beaten 14l into fourth off 134 at Punchestown last April; hasn't shown much in recent outings at Cheltenham and Leopardstown; needs more to figure.

Spotlight :
Gained second hurdles success on good ground over this sort of trip at Bellewstown in August; couple of good efforts in big-field handicaps of late but soft ground would be a concern here; tongue-tie added to usual cheekpieces.

Hasn't matched his bumper form in recent times but step back in right direction when third in 3m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle last month; cut out most of the running when fifth over an inadequate 18.5f here latest; others appeal more.

Spotlight :
In good form early last season, improving on placed efforts at Punchestown and Limerick when winning off 118 at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) in February; finished midfield in the Pertemps on final start of the season; likely to need this after 345 days off the track.

Spotlight :
Looked smart when winning Gowran maiden hurdle (2m, heavy) on debut; had over a year off the track but built on okay comeback effort when a fortunate winner at Clonmel last month; couldn't deal with opening mark of 136 on handicap debut at Leopardstown so the jury is out.

Maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in the summer but both wins have been on good ground; failed to see out 3m at Leopardstown when last seen so drop in trip is a plus but percentage call is to oppose.
