Spotlight: Point/bumper winner (including on soft) who has Grade 2 form; ran encouragingly at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) on hurdles/seasonal debut, beating all bar a useful rival who ran well in the Champion Bumper the time before; promises to build on that effort; strong contender.

Spotlight: Justified favouritism with 2l success, despite signs of greenness, in good-ground Irish point last December; siblings include a dual hurdles winner for his new yard; interesting rules debutant, especially if the market speaks positively.

Spotlight: Close second, clear of remainder, at Navan (2m, yielding) on stable/hurdles debut; failed to build on that effort when beaten favourite at Limerick since but Flat form (fairly useful) suggests he should still do better in this sphere; not written off; unraced on soft/heavy.

Spotlight: Had wind surgery since last run and a hood returns; has become disappointing on the Flat but best form under that code, namely placed efforts in the Derby and Irish Derby last year, indicates that he has the potential to become a very classy hurdler; has schooled well; respected; best Flat form on good to soft/good.

Spotlight: Has shown promise with a close second in Irish point (3m, soft) and eyecatching third in Newton Abbot bumper (2m1f, good to soft); tongue-tie now fitted; something to find on bare form but is in excellent hands and open to improvement.

Spotlight: Showed promise with second-place finishes, behind subsequent scorers, in Irish point (yielding) and Fontwell bumper (good to soft) in last two appearances; open to progress on return from another layoff; enters calculations.

Spotlight: Easy win last December (2m1f, good to soft) on final bumper start for Ewan Whillans; ran well on soft in that sphere; modest third, behind Gaelic Pride, over hurdles at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) on reappearance but may improve with that outing under his belt.

Spotlight: Sold for £60,000 soon after winning an Irish point (3m, yielding; second attempt) ten months ago; booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye on rules debut; the market signals may offer further guidance.

Spotlight: Irish mare who was proving consistent over hurdles, finishing runner-up four times, until form dipped sharply last time; still seeking first success of any description and is quite exposed.

Spotlight: Maiden on Flat; couple of fourth-place finishes over hurdles, latest in big field at Gowran Park (2m); likely needs improvement to reach the same position, let alone win this race.

Spotlight: Irish filly who is a five-race maiden; placed twice (bumper/hurdle) in the spring; outstayed over 2m6f most recently but faces a stiff task in this field back down in distance.

Spotlight: Made the frame in a bumper; comfortably held in two attempts over hurdles and likely to be more interesting in handicaps shortly.

Spotlight: Unlucky (might have won but for taking late fall) in one of his Irish points; brings the worst rules form, having suffered a heavy defeat over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f) for new stable.

Spotlight: Record of 1-7 on Flat for Grant Tuer, the win on debut and form fair at best; sold for £7,000 since last run; faces a difficult introduction to hurdling.
