Spotlight: Case can be made off this mark on best of his form and has run quite well in a pair of 2m3f handicaps for current yard; possibilities back up to a trip that he does stay.

Spotlight: Positively ridden when fourth in a 2m3f maiden at Kilbeggan latest; lightly raced 6yo contesting only his second handicap and has new headgear; not entirely dismissed.

Spotlight: Dual point winner who was third in a hunter chase last time; doesn't have the obvious profile for this race but she showed useful form in 2023 when runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden and she needs checking in the betting on debut for Emmet Mullins.

Spotlight: Won over fences here in October (2m6f) and followed up in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (3m); encouraging return from a break when going close at Killarney 12 days ago and he's in the mix.

Spotlight: Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark as a chaser five days ago in a 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan; that was a narrow verdict and he's 5lb higher this afternoon, but he's clearly in good nick.

Spotlight: Lightly raced for Henry De Bromhead but she signed off for that yard with a maiden win (2m3f, soft; sold on for £10,000); could have more to offer for new yard but lacks a recent run and may prefer softer ground.

Spotlight: 0-5 over hurdles and best form has been over fences, winning in March and twice runner-up since then; poor last time (second run in this headgear combination) but he's an assured stayer at this trip on his return to hurdles.

Spotlight: Won a novice handicap here in October but struggled since and latest third was quite remote and in a claimer.

Spotlight: Placed in French bumpers and again in one of his four runs for Nicky Henderson whom he left for £25,000; has low mileage and Jack Kennedy is booked; could be interesting.

Spotlight: Sligo maiden hurdle winner but yet to offer too much in handicaps and has stamina to prove over this far; first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: 0-8 on the Flat; an improving hurdler having won at Kilbeggan 19 days ago (2m2f, good) and brings potential into handicaps; unraced over this far.

Spotlight: All three hurdle wins have come at Sligo where he went close 17 days ago (3m1f, good); has something to prove away from that venue but he's not without hope.

Spotlight: Won a 2m2f handicap at Listowel in September when 4lb lower; below that level since and this is no easy race in which to bounce back.

Spotlight: Dual hurdles winner at about this trip and won over fences this May; went close off 4lb lower in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in January the last time he was ridden by Anna McGuinness.

Spotlight: Sole Flat success came in a 1m4f handicap at this meeting three years ago and later that year he won a maiden hurdle; no joy since though and was struggling when last seen over hurdles.

Spotlight: Should give his running on the back of respectable shows in 3m/2m6f handicaps but he's stuck on a tough enough mark.

Spotlight: Modest on the Flat; well beaten on handicap debut over hurdles in May but had some useful juvenile form and wouldn't be without hope should this new headgear combination trigger a return to that level.

Spotlight: Point and maiden hurdle winner; tailed off over hurdles (first-time blinkers) before pulled up in a handicap chase (first-time cheekpieces); others safer.

Spotlight: Hurdle/chase winner; didn't look an easy ride when beaten about 10l off this mark at Kilbeggan five days ago.

Spotlight: Modest strike-rate and was in no form when last seen during the winter; hard to recommend.
