Spotlight :
Point winner and placed in a bumper; showed little over hurdles but better form over fences of late, placed at Limerick and clear second over 2m6f at Tramore, having had every chance; one to consider back hurdling.

Spotlight :
Hints of ability in maidens and opening 2m4f handicap efforts off this mark have merit; perhaps unlucky not to finish a little closer when fourth in 17-runner Punchestown contest and lost shoe and suffered overeach injury when fourth in a competitive Navan contest in early March; better ground may suit; one to consider if staying longer trip.

Dual point-to-point winner on decent ground but has struggled in handicap hurdles so far on soft/heavy; could have more to offer back on better ground here.

Spotlight :
Won a three-runner point-to-point by 20l for Shane Roche in November; no impact in maiden hurdles but much-improved when upped in trip for handicap debut at Ballinrobe last month, staying on well in third (2m6f, good); could have more to offer upped further in trip here.

Back to form to record third hurdles win in 3m Naas contest last month, getting up late on ground plenty quick (good to yielding); 5lb higher but still on a fair mark although would ideally want more give in the ground.

Second reserve; maiden twice went close last summer on decent ground; recent Ballinrobe comeback run encouraging and could improve enough to have a say here on favoured ground.

Improvement in Clonmel handicaps, strong-finishing third over 2m and disputing second when brought down two out in 2m3f contest (good); never counted however at Kilbeggan latest but still one to keep in mind on first attempt at this trip.

Spotlight :
Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; had looked in handicapper's grasp and belatedly tried over fences at Wexford last month when well held; down 3lb since last hurdles run and returns to better ground so don't rule out.

Tricky customer has been pointing without success this year (refused once when leading and ran out another day); headstrong and did too much in front on hurdles return at Tramore last month in first-time visor (now ditched); others preferred.

Lightly raced 8yo returned from over a year's absence when tailed off at Naas in November and after further break never counted in midfield at Limerick in March; best bits of form have been on this sort of ground so don't rule out entirely.

Spotlight :
Won 2m6f handicap on her debut for Gordon Elliott at Downpatrick in 2023; off for a year when making no impression in Tramore beginners' chase last May and again no show on last month's return over 2m3f at Naas; hard to assess but step up in trip should suit.
