Spotlight :
Won back-to-back on testing ground when switched to handicap chases last season; came on from his reappearance when third at Down Royal in January; not beaten far in fourth at Fairyhouse only four days later; very interesting on a mark 17lb below his chase rating.

Spotlight :
Stayed well when scoring at Fairyhouse last time; raised 7lb for that much-improved display which came on his eighth start; further progress is feasible, though he has plenty to find with Sammy Smart on running at Punchestown in November.

Promise in a couple of his maiden hurdle starts, notably when 20l third behind the top-class Romeo Coolio at Down Royal; tailed off in a 2m contest at Fairyhouse on his handicap debut; perhaps some chance this trip will produce a transformation.
