Spotlight :
Had been struggling over hurdles but returned to form back on the Flat when second at Leopardstown (7f, good) in a race he won the previous season; thereabouts.

Spotlight :
Narrowly won a 7f handicap on good ground at the Curragh a month ago but appeared anchored by this 7lb higher mark when comfortably beaten at Leopardstown on Sunday.

Spotlight :
Won a weak 7f Dundalk maiden in November and again tried to make all at Gowran (1m, soft), only for the winner to sweep past late on; tongue-tie added this time; should give a good account.

|
Spotlight :
Narrow winner in a new tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination at the Curragh in March (1m, soft) and ran respectably off this 6lb higher mark back there next time; his apparent preference for slower ground is offputting and the tongue-tie is left off here.

Spotlight :
Seven of his ten wins have been on the AW and he returns to turf after some good efforts at Dundalk; effective on this surface but he does look high in the weights.

Travelled well but didn't get home over the 1m at Limerick 17 days ago on slow ground; prefers this surface and he's not badly handicapped; tries cheekpieces.

Spotlight :
Both wins have come on the AW (6f/7f) but has been competitive on turf; might be high in the weights, though, and a tongue-tie is now fitted.

Spotlight :
It wasn't a strong maiden he won at Galway (1m, soft) but posted a useful RPR and he brings potential into handicaps; has been off since August so market confidence would be welcomed.

Spotlight :
Three-time winner; did well to finish only 2l off the winner at Leopardstown (7f, good; Desert Haven second) having been in the rear for much of that race; Nicola Burns takes off 7lb this time and he enters the reckoning.

Reserve; solid thirds in 7f handicaps at the Curragh the last twice and this five-time AW winner can come good on turf at some point; chance if getting in.

Definite chance on last year's peak efforts and signs of returning to form when fifth after a troubled run at Naas on Saturday; that was over 6f but versatile trip-wise.

Spotlight :
Reserve; gained a fourth AW win in March (7f) and dropping back to 6f not ideal last time; however, 0-4 on turf and much to prove in that regard.

All three wins for Noel Meade were on slow ground and could finish only midfield after a break at Cork last month; bit to prove on a few counts.

Having his 60th career start; has won five times and did threaten on occasions last year to snap his losing run; ground would have been too slow on recent stable debut.
