Spotlight :
Dual-purpose; versatile sort has won on the Flat, over hurdles and twice over fences; built on the experience of her first two handicaps when scoring quite snugly at Punchestown; 5lb rise has left her only 2lb out of the handicap, and Conor Stone-Walsh's claim is a positive.

Spotlight :
Point winner; failed to build on his win in a 2m Leopardstown maiden hurdle at 2023 Christmas fixture; made no impact on first two chase starts; stewards asked questions after a never-nearer third at Leopardstown in December; moderate effort at Thurles latest but unwise to leave out of calculations.

Spotlight :
Won a 3m beginners' at Punchestown on New Year's Eve after a fine second behind Dancing City at the same venue; 9-1 when thrown in at the deep end for handicap debut in the Thyestes, made a mistake at the ninth when racing prominently and another four out, pulled up before the next; interesting here with 5lb claimed in this less demanding company.

Spotlight :
Two hurdle wins last spring were gained on better ground; unconvincing chase form so far; a return to the trip at which he won over hurdles should help.

Spotlight :
Beat subsequent Grade 2 winner Touch Me Not in a beginners' event at Punchestown in October; jumping difficulties have stalled his progress in two further Punchestown runs and when 4-1 second favourite for a valuable Leopardstown handicap; risky now against that background.

Spotlight :
Flat/maiden hurdle winner and a narrow winner of a Down Royal beginners' event at Christmas on his fourth start over fences; needs to jump better than at Cork in his first handicap; stablemate Theonewedreamof appeals more

Spotlight :
Useful hurdler in his prime, won a Grade 2 novice contest for Nigel Twiston-Davies in 2020; availed of his much reduced mark when winning at Wexford last May on his first run for Mark Molloy; failed to hold that form; chasing credentials are not strong.

Spotlight :
0-8 over fences; second over 2m at this venue three starts ago; has failed to match that form in two subsequent 3m outings; makes no appeal from 9lb out of the handicap.
