Spotlight :
Has been running consistently on AW this year; carried that over to turf with a .75L second at the Curragh on penultimate start (5f, good); went close again last time when .5L behind Tawaazon at Naas (6f, good); dropped 2lb more and he is now on a dangerous mark.

Spotlight :
Beaten .75L at the Curragh last time (6f, good); horse who finished in front of him was subsequently beaten 4.5L by Tawaazon at Naas; had a number of these rivals in behind him on Curragh start and only raised 2lb; one for the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Broke long losing streak with a win at Cork two weeks ago (5f, good); unable to follow up with a 10lb claimer on board three days ago at Fairyhouse when finishing a 1.25L second (6f, good); raised 6lb for Cork win but he is running consistently.

Spotlight :
Got his first win since 2023 last time at Naas (6f, good) and finished in front of many of his rivals today in the process; raised just 1lb for his win so he is entitled to put in a good showing here again but he may not be the most reliable.

Spotlight :
Runner-up four times from from six starts in maidens; drops back in trip after trying 7f last time; makes her handicap debut here on a mark that appears reasonable; consistent and reliable filly can make her presence felt.

Spotlight :
Won at Naas last July from a mark of 82 (7f, yielding); form tapered off towards the end of the season and he didn't put those doubts to bed on his seasonal reappearance last time at Naas when finishing in mid-division (7f, soft-heavy); good chance if coming back to form.

Spotlight :
Won nicely on penultimate start at the Curragh (7f, good); raised 8lb and not a bad effort (4.5L seventh) when upped to a mile on most recent start; has won from a 5lb higher mark before so he can't be confidently ruled out.

Finished behind Never Shout Never and Tawaazon at Naas on penultimate start (6f, good); followed up with a decent midfield finish at the Curragh last time (7f, good); dropped 6lb since his Naas run but he is still 6lb higher than his last winning mark.

Spotlight :
Doesn't win very often (2-35); last win came at the Curragh last April from a mark of 69 (6f, heavy); poor runs on two starts this season and likely needs rain to be seen at his best.

Spotlight :
Dropped 4lb for her 5L eighth to Tawaazon last time at Naas (6f, good); a number of those who finished in front of her that day reoppose; she was returning from a layoff that day so there is some scope for improvement; wears a first time visor.

Spotlight :
Six time winner returns from a layoff but his last win came at this track (7f, yielding); likes cut in the ground so would ideally like some rain; on a career high mark so perhaps he is one for another day.

Spotlight :
Out of form since winning a Cork handicap from a mark of 74 last October (1m, yielding); returned from a mini-break with a down the field finish at the Curragh last time (6f, good); has dropped to a lifetime low mark and has won at this trip so not without a chance.
