Spotlight: Some fair runs in maidens; ran a cracker when just denied on handicap debut at Gowran (2m, heavy); second to progressive rival at Fairyhouse last month (2m, soft) with the pair well clear; jumping can be sketchy but the one to beat providing he handles drying ground.

Spotlight: Won maiden hurdle over C&D in August (16.5f, good); improved form in handicaps when third at Punchestown in November; the winner landed a hat-trick in style since, while the runner-up would probably have won a Limerick Grade 2 during Christmas but for a mistake at the last; leading contender.

Spotlight: Can give trouble at the start (refused to line up twice in October); took well to fences, landing Punchestown novice in November (2m, heavy); always behind at Newbury on latest; Sean Flanagan back on is a plus (aboard for all four wins over jumps); fair mark back hurdling.

Spotlight: Front-runner who can race keenly; went close on chase reappearance for the Moores last season at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft); headed at final fence at Sandown next time; pulled up at Windsor and Sandown since; market will reveal expectations after layoff on Irish/stable debut back hurdling.

Spotlight: Bumper winner in 2022 twice went missing since but returned last season, winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse; however, has been poor in three runs this season (including two chase starts); wouldn't want the ground to dry out; cheekpieces; handicap bow.

Spotlight: Better chaser; generally well below best last season; performed encouragingly in Galway handicap hurdle (2m6f, yielding) on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan on latest (2m5f, heavy); well treated relative to chase mark of 135.

Spotlight: Won point-to-point and Down Royal maiden hurdle in the spring on good ground; made it 0-16 on the Flat when never a factor at Navan in October; first run for rookie trainer who had major gamble foiled at Leopardstown on Monday so market watch advised.

Spotlight: Dual-purpose performer is 3-22 over hurdles, including a handicap here in 2023 over 2m; fair run on AW when last seen in November; not ruled out back over timber but has never won off mark this high.

Spotlight: Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-5 over hurdles; her win came over three years ago which doesn't inspire, but she had been running well in defeat on the Flat last year; yet to convince over timber.

Spotlight: Dual-purpose; 4-22 over hurdles, but has not been in great form in either code for a while; okay effort when fourth in Cork handicap hurdle in November (2m, yielding to soft) but needs to raise his game further.

Spotlight: Dual hurdles and chase winner is rated 11lb lower over timber although needs to improve markedly on his most recent efforts at Punchestown and Thurles; rider's claim a positive.

Spotlight: Pulled up at both Leopardstown and Limerick last March; best form is over much further than this; veteran is hard to fancy on his return.
