Spotlight :
Four-time winner in Britain (three on turf); 0-14 in Ireland but ran best race for this yard when second of 12 at Dundalk (10.5f) off 58 in March; 7lb higher back on turf but claimer offsets that.

Spotlight :
Won back-to-back claimers early last season for Ger Lyons; first two runs this term for new yard on unsuitably soft ground; improved massively on good when second of 19 at Leopardstown (1m); forecast rain is cause for concern.

Encouraging run back on turf at Leopardstown in March but hasn't really built on that in three runs since, an okay fourth at Ballinrobe (1m5f) on latest from a good draw; can race prominently.

Eight-race maiden is 0-5 on turf; went close off 63 on handicap debut at Clonmel last September (9.5f, good); returned from break with third of 13 at Navan (1m2f, good); each-way contender if the ground doesn't soften.

Six-time winner including a runaway victory in this race in 2021; gained first win in two years here (7f, good) in September off 68; just failed when beaten a nose at Limerick last month (1m, soft to heavy); should go well.

Gowran handicap (9.5f, soft) winner for Kevin Coleman in 2023; next win from reduced mark at Dundalk (10.5f) in January; weakened on hurdles bow at Kilbeggan; forecast rain is a plus for stable in decent form; could go well.
