Spotlight 102-rated hurdler, winning 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap on heavy last winter; back from 189-day absence with promising chase debut here last month over slightly shorter, just outstayed after leading between final two fences (clear of remainder); big player on that run with ground here to suit.

Spotlight 101-rated hurdler won 3m Punchestown handicap last term on heavy and good second at Leopardstown; straight into handicap company for last month's chase debut (after 196-day absence), faring well when only losing second close home over 2m6f at Galway (soft); should be thereabouts.

Spotlight 0-14 under Rules but has shown a bit more promise over fences, most recently (after 106-day break) when staying on third in 2m4f Wexford beginners last month; acts on heavy ground so one to consider.

Spotlight 102-rated hurdler won over 3m at Punchestown in May and couple of solid runs since at Wexford; should prove equally as effective a chaser and one for the shortlist.

Spotlight Reappeared from 139-day break to get off the mark over hurdles at sixth attempt when making all in 2m5f Sligo handicap last month (back with original trainer); bred to make a better chaser so one to consider.

Spotlight 97-rated maiden hurdler finished second in 2m handicaps over the summer both here and at Wexford; recent Punchestown effort was okay but doesn't appear the type to make an immediate impact chasing.

Spotlight Goes well here, winning 2m6f handicap hurdle in April (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 2m6f handicap chase in August when last seen; more needed here but does handle heavy.

Spotlight 17-race maiden (rated 97) over hurdles though placed several times at up to 3m; beaten when faller two out on last month's chase debut at Downpatrick.

Spotlight Rated 96 over hurdles, winning 2m5f Thurles maiden in March on heavy; well held later in month in handicap and back from summer break for chasing debut on ground he handles.

Spotlight 0-7 over hurdles and rated 100 in that sphere; jumping has been novicey in both attempts chasing so needs to jump much better to get involved here.

Spotlight Placed in Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut in June 2023 before winning a point-to-point last season; not at same level back hurdling and two chase runs leave her with plenty to find.

Spotlight Three wins on the Flat (including twice over 2m on AW); mixed codes this year (twice in chases) without success and remains opposable.

Spotlight 91-rated hurdler showed some promise for Gordon Elliott and fair runs initially for this yard, disappointing latest; blinkers added for chase debut but seems best watched.

Spotlight 102-rated maiden hurdler showed initial promise but didn't progress; improvement on chase debut when a clear second over 3m at Killarney last month but unable to back that up at Gowran, having been made plenty of use of in first-time cheekpieces; bit to prove but yard in such good form she has to be respected and this sharp track could suit.
