Spotlight: Consistent efforts in bumpers and maiden hurdles rewarded when readily accounting for today's rival Whats New in a Sligo maiden hurdle last month; up 5lb for that and more needed in his first handicap but looks to be going the right way.

Spotlight: Got off the mark on his only start for John McConnell in a handicap hurdle at Wexford in March; sold for £29,000 at Goffs UK since and makes his stable debut here; has shown preference for cut in the ground but is clearly of interest.

Spotlight: Took a keen hold in defeat in maiden hurdles at Clonmel and Tramore; settled better but still found one too good on his return to Tramore in May; handicap hurdle debut here and respected but there might be one or two better handicapped.

Spotlight: Fair form over hurdles in the final months of last season; second in a maiden at Wexford and fourth in a 21-runner handicap at Fairyhouse despite not jumping well; potentially interesting on handicap debut

Spotlight: Got off the mark on his first start for the stable in a first-time tongue-tie when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; emerged with plenty of credit when a good runner-up to a useful performer on the Flat at Bellewstown since; plenty of weight but should make his presence felt.

Spotlight: Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner two years ago for Liam O'Brien; consistent this year but keeps finding one too good; hold-up horse and likely to need a bit of luck in running; could get into the frame.

Spotlight: Winning hurdler and comes here in good form after a convincing success in a 2m handicap chase at Roscommon last month; 9lb lower over flights and a good 5lb claimer booked; makes a compelling case.

Spotlight: Improved significantly on better ground and reportedly settled better when getting up late to land a Sligo maiden hurdle last month; might benefit from a longer trip but probably still capable of improvement, and the stable has been known to come alive at this meeting.

Spotlight: Maiden hurdle winner; returned from a six month with a very eye-catching effort when a staying-on fourth to Can Happen at Ballinrobe in May; has the hallmarks of one laid out for this and has the services of a decent 7lb claimer; interesting.

Spotlight: Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator.

Spotlight: First reserve; Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner; ran no race on his handicap hurdle debut at Tramore; ran okay on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week

Spotlight: Third reserve; has mixed it between Flat and hurdles effectively this year; reverts back to hurdles after going down narrowly in a 1m4f handicap at Limerick last time.

Spotlight: Gained his second win over hurdles when landing a Downpatrick handicap hurdle in May; mid-division but not disgraced in a 1m5f Ballinrobe Flat handicap since; withdrawn twice on good ground so an ease in the ground would most likely enhance his chances.

Spotlight: 13-race maiden over hurdles; easily held by a couple of these in maiden hurdles; unseated when still with a chance at Ballinrobe last week; Darragh O'Keeffe booked ,but needs to find a bit more to land this.

Spotlight: Three-time winner over hurdles for Paul Kiely; ran well despite jumping left on her stable debut at Listowel last month; down the field in a Tramore Flat handicap since; would not be a total surprise if she got involved.

Spotlight: Bumper winner in 2024; some respectable efforts over hurdles but not enough to suggest he can win off this mark; mid-division in a Roscommon Flat maiden last month after seven months off.

Spotlight: French import has done reasonably well in three maiden hurdle outings; tough ask on his handicap debut and will probably appreciate further, but not dismissed.

Spotlight: Winner on the Flat and very lightly raced over hurdles by comparison; good run in a 1m handicap at Leopardstown in April, but little in her profile marks her out as a potential winner of this.

Spotlight: Winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien; took a step forward in his headgear combination when a solid third in a handicap hurdle at Killarney two weeks ago; this is more competitive again but has a squeak if he can improve again.

Spotlight: Beat Whats New in a juvenile maiden hurdle here in October; no impact in conditions races over hurdles since and down the field in a Fairyhouse Flat handicap last time; others preferred on his handicap debut over hurdles.

Spotlight: Last of three wins for Philip Rothwell came at Downpatrick last summer (2m3f); Clonmel claiming second in May his best recent run; debuts for new yard here.

Spotlight: Second reserve; UK raider; 78-rated Flat winner; runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time; hard to assess here but likely to be up against it.

Spotlight: Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely.
