|
Spotlight :
Left his point form behind when runner-up in a Punchestown maiden hurdle, pulling a long way clear with a Willie Mullins-trained favourite; Free Flow (25l back in third) has advertised the form by winning a maiden at Thurles; tongue-tie on now.

Promising efforts to finish third over 2m4f at Leopardstown and extended 2m2f at Naas; form ties with maiden winners Koktail Divin and Kalix Delabarriere; could be hard to beat now.

Spotlight :
Two wins and placed 11 times on the Flat (from 22 starts); signed off last season with a second over 1m4f at Cork off a respectable 91; suited by some ease in the ground; interesting recruit to hurdling

Spotlight :
Ran a promising race in Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut to chase home a wide-margin Willie Mullins winner; again found a Mullins runner much too strong at the same venue on his second attempt; needs to settle better.

Stayed on for second in a maiden point at Aghabullogue in January; has joined Henry de Bromhead; pedigree implies he may need further than this.

Spotlight :
Failed to complete in two starts in points for Pat Doyle; unlucky not to collect at Ballindenisk last May, in control when unseating at the last; has joined a top stable; capable of building on his introduction to hurdling at Naas.

Lacks a recent run but showed definite promise in bumpers for Mark Fahey; second twice, including behind the useful Fleur In The Park (now a 133-rated hurdler) at Roscommon in 2023.

Mild promise in a pair of bumpers on testing ground for his previous trainer; tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Naas in January; gave an encouraging display when fourth at Leopardstown on stable debut; more needed.

Spotlight :
French import was a major eyecatcher at Down Royal on Monday, the subject of a running and riding inquiry; given an exaggerated hold-up ride, tailed off with a circuit to run, gradually improved under tender handling; the trainer reported that a post-race scope showed signs of mucus and blood; hooded now for quick reappearance.

Won twice at a modest level on the Flat, effective at 7f/1m, rated 56 at the end of last season; never close enough to challenge on hurdling debut at Down Royal.
