Spotlight: 112-rated hurdler took advantage of a much lower chase mark when winning over this trip at Limerick three days ago; has a big chance of following up with a 7lb penalty if he has recovered sufficiently.

Spotlight: Longstanding maiden over hurdles but has been runner-up on all three chase starts recently, including over a bit shorter here last time; cheekpieces are added and should run well; locally trained.

Spotlight: First reserve; unplaced in maiden hurdles and beginners' chases but there was more promise on handicap chase debut at this track last time; a player if getting a run.

Spotlight: Got off the mark when winning over hurdles at Gowran (yielding); solid run on heavy ground making chasing debut at Clonmel; can improve from that and drying ground can help; local yard does well here.

Spotlight: Second reserve; three of his four chase wins have been here, albeit on better ground; not a bad run on soft back here last time; the more the track dries the better his chance.

Spotlight: Three-time chase winner, the latest over C&D in August; disappointing back here in November but a solid hurdles run at Limerick four days ago; chance.

Spotlight: Longstanding maiden over hurdles and fences; refused to race at this venue last time; best to look elsewhere.

Spotlight: Point winner was poor on handicap chase debut at Clonmel but a better effort when a modest second in a Limerick maiden hurdle since; has to jump better back over fences.

Spotlight: Maiden was pulled up when last seen but had been runner-up over further twice prior to that on good ground; a squeak if ready on return; ran well over hurdles here.

Spotlight: Point winner was well beaten first three chase runs; was a bit better over a furlong shorter than this here last time on handicap debut; can do better.

Spotlight: Third reserve; longstanding maiden but has been placed several times over hurdles and fences; third at Naas over 2m before pulled up over 3m at Thurles lately; chance if rebounding.

Spotlight: Maiden over hurdles ran respectably on sole chase start almost a year ago; others preferred.

Spotlight: Second runner for yard; dual hurdle winner but is 0-17 over fences; beaten 18l at Thurles last time and needs much more.

Spotlight: Record of 1-16 over fences; lost his form for Phillip Rothwell over the summer and best watched on return for a new yard.

Spotlight: A record of 1-11 over fences but has been pulled up the last twice and isn't easy to fancy.

Spotlight: Won twice over hurdles earlier last year; however, was beaten a long way on chase debut at Thurles and pulled up back over hurdles since so questions now; blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Has a record of 1-22 over fences; well beaten on second comeback run at Punchestown last time but can come on from that.
