Spotlight: Maiden ran some good races in defeat last year, including when runner-up at Thurles (18.5f, yielding) when last seen in October under a forceful ride; the blinkers worn that day are disgarded; 182-day absence.

Spotlight: Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help.

Spotlight: Got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last month when dropped to 2m (soft); stamina test remains in doubt after moderate fifth at Tramore (20.5f) on latest; half-sister to high-class chaser Thunder Rock so must be of interest on chase bow back down in trip.

Spotlight: First real effort of note on penultimate when decent third (beaten 3l) in Tramore novice handicap chase (15.5f, yielding) last month; fair sixth in better race at Wexford a fortnight ago; 5yo has scope to keep improving.

Spotlight: Won over hurdles at Clonmel in December (heavy) and little of note until staying-on second over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last month (good to yielding); only a fair sixth at Clonmel last week; can be a tricky ride but top claimer aboard.

Spotlight: Point/bumper winner; reverted to hurdling at Clonmel on latest after two moderate runs over fences but in rear throughout; others are more appealing at present.

Spotlight: Second reserve; surprise hurdles winner at Wexford in 2024; best effort last season when runner-up at Thurles in October; chase debut.

Spotlight: Third reserve; dual-purpose performer won here on the Flat last month; best work at the finish when third over hurdles at Punchestown last week; chase debut.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 9yo; best effort in course handicap hurdle on latest when fourth of 13 (19.5f, soft to heavy; the third has won since); won a point so could make a chaser; market can guide.

Spotlight: Good ground hurdles winner shaped with mild promise on chase debut in Thurles beginners' (18.5f, good to yielding) in October; pulled up and tailed off next two starts on heavy; of interest if the ground has good in the description.

Spotlight: Maiden produced his best run when second in 2m1f Wexford handicap hurdle last August; not a bad comeback effort at Cork but tailed off six days later at Down Royal; chase debut.

Spotlight: Went close here off 2lb higher in April last year (19.5f, good); four tame efforts followed but there with every chance when falling two out at Tramore when last seen in August; contender if ready to roll after an absence.

Spotlight: Breakthrough success over hurdles came at Downpatrick last summer (2m2f, good); only second chase start on return at Wexford a fortnight ago when well beaten (well held in Roscommon handicap last summer).

Spotlight: First reserve; maiden from 16 starts under rules; 1-6 in points of late; makes rules debut for this yard.

Spotlight: Hurdles and three-time chase winner; best form at Tramore; was demoted from first in Killarney chase last summer; never sighted in first three starts for this yard; blinkers go on now.

Spotlight: Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred.

Spotlight: Winless in five Flat starts and 13 over timber; hasn't looked as though the breakthrough is close, 30l behind at Thurles in October; chase debut.

Spotlight: Maiden was pulled up in her last three hurdles outings; needs to leave all known form well behind on chase debut.

Spotlight: Galway win in September 2024 was a flash in the pan; unplaced in 33 of his 34 starts; pulled up in 3m handicap hurdle at Punchestown last week.
