Spotlight :
Has improved gradually at Dundalk during the winter (placed twice over 1m4f in December) and was rewarded with victory in a 2m handicap 11 days ago; showed a good attitude and has a good chance of confirming form with third-placed Mafiah despite a 5lb rise; that run was prefaced by a decent hurdles run at Wexford.

Spotlight :
Dual Flat winner; won back-to-back 2m handicap hurdles at Naas in February, pulled up over a longer trip at the same venue last month; mid-field in a 1m4f handicap at the Curragh ten days ago; suited by heavy ground, this may be too quick for him.

1-26 over hurdles, 1-22 on Flat; overall record is not encouraging, but he struck a good vein of form (hurdles and Flat) last summer; recent fourth over hurdles at Limerick was respectable.
