Spotlight: Two of three hurdles win have been here (heavy); not too much to recommend last season and pulled up on last month's return from a year off in Tallow point-to-point; new headgear combination tried, others look more solid.

Spotlight: Belatedly off the mark over just shy of this trip at Thurles last month under hold-up ride in beating Nolans Rocco in amateur handicap chase (soft-to-heavy), winning going away on only his third run over fences; more needed to confirm that form but possible.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner remains a maiden under rules but best run yet on latest when chasing home 3.75l winner Rideau Canal in 2m6f Thurles amateur handicap chase last month (soft-to-heavy); 9lb better off with that rival here with talented rider's claim taken into account.

Spotlight: Won handicap hurdle over C&D this time last year (yielding); okay comeback effort in second handicap chase at Thurles last month and entitled to come on for that; don't rule out.

Spotlight: 112-rated hurdler took advantage of a much lower chase mark when winning over C&D at Christmas (soft-to-heavy) and good second at Tramore next time; tame Down Royal run last time but respected nonetheless on overall upward profile (still 18lb below hurdle mark).

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner is 0-13 under rules, standout run when second in 2m4f Cork beginners' chase in January (yielding-to-soft); no show in handicap hurdle since; slight stamina concern in this ground.

Spotlight: Quite lightly raced 8yo in form of his life in winning 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap hurdle and on chase debut in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in the space of six days in January; dropped out tamely off 17lb higher hurdles mark at former venue last month; still unexposed on only second start over fences.

Spotlight: One-time smart hurdler is yet to win over fences in 11 starts but some decent efforts, notably C&D second at Christmas off 1lb lower (soft-to-heavy); none too fluent and faded tamely over 3m latest; can't rule out back at this track and ground okay (cheekpieces back on for blinkers).

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner got off the mark under Rules on returning from summer break in 2m7f Ballinrobe handicap chase in September (soft) and solid third at Killarney following month; runs well fresh so lack of a recent run not so much a concern.

Spotlight: Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form.

Spotlight: Dual winning hurdler with his latest win coming at Punchestown in June off 92 (3m, good to yielding); 0-7 chasing however, well beaten in testing conditions at Fairyhouse last month; reduced mark but still others preferred on this ground.

Spotlight: Dual hurdles winner is 0-12 chasing, one of better efforts on latest when third to Rideau Canal and Nolans Rocco at Thurles last month, rallying late; place claims again under claiming rider.

Spotlight: On a long losing sequence but worth noting that his only two wins have been at this venue, notably a 2m2f handicap chase nearly two years ago (off 95); remote C&D second in handicap hurdle last month was a step in the right direction but more needed off 7lb higher chase mark.

Spotlight: Reserve; has shown some ability in handicap hurdles; early switch to fences here in handicap company.

Spotlight: Hasn't added to Kilbeggan maiden hurdle win of 2023 albeit has gone close on a few occasions chasing; heavy ground of late not ideal and probably best waited for when ground improves; tongue-tie now tried and runs off correct (reduced mark).

Spotlight: Career record of 0-12, lots to find with some of these on last month's Thurles run.

Spotlight: Three-time winner returned in December after three years on the sidelines and pulled up on four of five outings, latest here in 2m handicap hurdle last month; wants better ground.
