Spotlight :
Lightly raced mare came good on third maiden hurdle run when taking 2m1f Ballinrobe mares contest last month, possibly not suited by tight track but never stronger than at the finish; good chance she'll find more at this longer trip and respected on handicap debut with capable claiming amateur booked.

Spotlight :
Built on encouraging runs in maidens when comfortably winning at Thurles (2m, good) in March, albeit helped by main challenger blundering at last (runner-up has won since); yard back among the winners at Wexford on Wednesday and good chance on handicap debut if staying longer trip.

Killarney maiden hurdle winner a year ago and several solid efforts in defeat over various trips, notably second in quite valuable 2m7f Killarney handicap; too keen and stiff enough task when last seen in 2m7f Limerick mares Listed in October; trip/ground okay and runs well fresh; drops in class.

Point-to-point winner who landed a Navan bumper in 2023; 0-6 hurdling but useful level of form in maidens over various trips; still looks a work in progress and could have more to offer entering handicap company; yard had a double at Ballinrobe during the week.

Point-to-point winner on heavy but handles good ground, most recently last month (well-backed favourite) in 2m3f Limerick handicap hurdle when third; hard to make out his best trip and more needed off 3lb higher here.

Four-time winner over timber, all on soft/heavy, the latest at Cork in December 2023; went close back there in March over 2m4f (good) but both runs since have been poor, latest when never sighted after slow start at Clonmel; on a competitive mark but hard to be confident in right now.
