Spotlight :
Point-to-point winner and came good under rules when taking 2m3f Clonmel maiden hurdle in February on heavy; drop back to 2m may not have suited here last month (quicker ground) and big step up in trip here.

Progressive mare won her maiden here last summer and more recently has added handicaps at Punchestown and last month over this trip at Leopardstown, getting up at the post on yielding; stiffest task yet but should go well.

Spotlight :
Early this season won Perth bumper and a 2m7f Worcester maiden hurdle (second won next time) both on good ground; pulled up after never featuring on unsuitably soft ground on last month's comeback at Ayr; ground back in his favour now and more expected of here from British challenger.

Point-to-point winner won bumper here in October before making all on hurdles debut in 2m4f Carlisle maiden; not at that level after a break in poorly-contested 2m4f Wetherby novices' in February; upped in trip here and races on better ground.

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle (2m6f, heavy) on New Year's Day and handled good ground well when second in Thurles handicap over same trip; not sure if he stayed 3m at Cork last time.

Bumper winner (Cork) in 2023 and returned from long absence for new yard in November with decent efforts in heavy-ground maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Navan; remains open to improvement but ground may not be ideal here (withdrawn recently on good ground).

Thurles maiden win came over 2m5f on good ground; first run since on similar ground when staying on third in 2m6f handicap at same venue last month; stays 3m and first attempt on decent ground at the trip; place claims.

Finally off the mark when winning 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in September (yielding); easily pick of three runs since on latest when third in quite competitive 2m4f Gowran handicap in February (soft); return to longer trip should suit as should better ground.

Bumper winner got off the mark hurdling in Cork maiden over this trip in January; contested handicaps since, keeping on over inadequate 2m4f at Punchestown and again over 2m7f at Navan; balance of form on soft, this is the quickest ground he has raced on; big chance if handling it.

Hexham bumper winner and retrospectively promoted to first in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here in October; soft ground may not have suited on recent handicap debut so worth another chance at this trip back on better ground.
