Spotlight: Dual point-to-point winner; ran creditably when third on rules' debut in a bumper; poor in three maiden hurdles and well beaten twice in handicaps before confirmed a liking for a stamina test when second over 3m at Naas last week; definite chance.

Spotlight: Comes into the reckoning now following a much-improved run in a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap; good chance for trainer who has targeted this series effectively.

Spotlight: Moderate form overall but his 9l third of 16 over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January was a decent performance; had an excuse for a poor chase run last time; could bounce back.

Spotlight: Maiden with uneven form. second here in November (3m, heavy); next run here not at the same level and then unseated at Thurles; confirmed a liking for a stamina test when second over 3m at Naas last week; can pick up a race at some stage.

Spotlight: Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all four starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off here at Christmas by Dalmatic, beaten 6 1/2l at Thurles in January; 11lb lower than over fences.

Spotlight: Good overall claims in a race of this standard; however, she appears held by Sock It To Me on running at Fairyhouse last month.

Spotlight: Placed in two of his three starts this season; second at Fairyhouse in November, third over 2m4f here at Christmas; beaten favourite in between at Punchestown when he made a costly error three from home; blotted his record when pulled up here a month ago

Spotlight: Fair hurdler last winter, notching a win and three seconds over around 2m4f; pulled up in two of his three chase starts; hard to be confident.

Spotlight: Best form at this venue, third here in November; beaten 29l in fifth here a month ago; plenty to prove now.

Spotlight: Battled away in first-time blinkers to beat Gaelic Des Chastys here at Christmas, sustaining his effort after a stumble; did well in the circumstances; failed to reproduce that form when in rear at Punchestown in January.

Spotlight: Went close in a Tramore handicap last April; returned to form after a lean spell when 10l second to the in-form Brown Boots at Clonmel a fortnight ago.

Spotlight: In good hands but has shown next to nothing over hurdles since second in a maiden point a year ago.

Spotlight: Won over fences at Kilbeggan last August (3m2f, good to yielding); ran respectably next time at Ballinrobe (2m7f, soft); pulled up in a handicap hurdle last time; trainer has a stronger contender in Gaelic Des Chastys.

Spotlight: Has failed to finish closer than tenth in three handicap hurdle attempts; up against it.

Spotlight: Improved his hurdling strike rate to 5-60 with Clonmel victory over Coffeys Forge on the 101st outing of his career; generally unpredictable in recent seasons; pulled up on his two most recent attempts.

Spotlight: Showed some ability in 2023; has made no impact in two runs since returning from a long absence; very hard to fancy.

Spotlight: Not a bad run at Thurles three starts back; remote eighth at Punchestown; pulled up in a Clonmel race in which Mullanour was second; unlikely to feature.

Spotlight: Weak form in maiden hurdles and has yet to show potential for handicap success; tongue-tie will need to make a big difference.

Spotlight: Has had jumping issues; safe to leave out of calculations; rserve.
