Spotlight: Was running a big race when falling at the last on sole point start; stayed further than this when winning on handicap debut at Limerick; looks progressive.

Spotlight: Finished second to an outsider in this race last year; subsequently won a good handicap chase here to earn a significantly higher mark over fences (152); struggled later over hurdles, admittedly in strong races at major fixtures; 7lb off here, trainer runs four.

Spotlight: Won a Gowran maiden (2m, soft) in March; has failed to show any progress in five starts since then; needs to step up on handicap form to feature.

Spotlight: Has been off since winning a 3m handicap at Down Royal over a year ago; rider's claim will help, but those with more recent form may have a big advantage in the conditions.

Spotlight: Ran well in defeat in maidens and novice races for Philip Rothwell; opened account with an emphatic display in a 2m4f maiden at Punchestown last month on stable debut; leading chance if an untried headgear combination helps to produce improvement; however, has never raced on soft or heavy.

Spotlight: Worth considering the strength of fourth place in a valuable Punchestown festival event; midfield over a longer trip at the Galway festival; rerouted after the cancellation at Fairyhouse on Tuesday, each-way chance on his best form.

Spotlight: Better chaser, enjoying a fine spell of form in handicaps in the second half of 2023; generally well below best last season; after a summer break, performed encouragingly at Galway despite a slipped saddle; well treated relative to chase mark of 137.

Spotlight: Won twice for the late Edward O'Grady, appears vulnerable on this mark on overall form; last run was over fences in July.

Spotlight: Point winner; useful novice hurdler in 2021/22 season; missed almost three years; never found his form in a four-race chase campaign last season.

Spotlight: Useful staying novice chaser the season before last and fairly reliable; never managed to hit form last season; questions to answer; good 7lb claimer.

Spotlight: 3-14 over hurdles; hacked up over 2m6f at this venue in February on his return from a 325-day absence; down the field at Naas two weeks later and off since; perhaps unwise to rule out, given that he can run well fresh and has a 2-3 record at this track.

Spotlight: A long time since his last run over hurdles; recent chase form not altogether convincing; up against it.

Spotlight: Followed up a 2m Wexford maiden win with a handicap success at Cork (2m4f) late last year; lost his way in the spring; midfield both starts this term; needs a revival.

Spotlight: Maiden, looks capable of minor success; 6lb out of the handicap; unlikely to make the breakthrough here, unless first-time blinkers have a positive impact.

Spotlight: Has shown decent form on soft ground; trip should suit, and she is only 6lb higher than when winning at Downpatrick in June; set a tough task on the Flat at the Curragh when last seen; could give a good account of herself.

Spotlight: Lightly raced mare with a decent strike rate, winning Hexham mares' bumper, and for current yard twice over hurdles at Wexford, notably final start last term in 3m novice in April (yielding), relishing stamina test; may have needed the race at Galway, plenty to find with Artic Lane and Fighting Fit; tongue-tie fitted.

Spotlight: Decent form in the early stages of last season; has failed to complete in three 2025 races; testing conditions are a concern.

Spotlight: Veteran has been running over fences without much reward; third in a handicap chase at Tramore in May now seems like a flash in the pan; makes stable debut.

Spotlight: Won back-to-back 2m4f handicap hurdles on testing ground at Gowran and Down Royal early in 2023; struggled in a light campaign last season.
