Spotlight :
Successful at the last two Cheltenham Festivals, latterly a ready winner of this on heavy ground; took her 2m4f record to 3-3 (all Grade 1s) when proving too strong for Teahupoo in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (yielding) on reappearance in November; second to Constitution Hill back at 2m in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton next time and narrowly ahead of State Man when departing four out in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown last month; hard to beat if none the worse for that heavy tumble.

Spotlight :
This classy mare's only defeat from five starts for Willie Mullins was when fourth to Golden Ace in the Dawn Run at this meeting last year; relished the step back up in trip when a dominant winner of a Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) on her final start last season and she returned to give weight and a beating to five rivals in the Grade 3 Quevega at Punchestown (2m4f, soft) 19 days ago; further progress is likely and she can give stablemate Lossiemouth most to do.

Spotlight :
Only ninth to Dysart Enos in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper in her first spell with Henry de Bromhead but did well over hurdles back in France subsequently (third in French Champion Hurdle in May) and improved again returned to this yard when beating Kala Conti by 4l to win a Leopardstown Grade 3 (good to yielding) in December; interesting runner for a yard with a good recent record in this (they won it twice with Honeysuckle and also saddled the second, third and fourth last year).

Spotlight :
Unexposed mare who built on a promising 2m4f handicap debut second here in no uncertain terms when an impressive winner of the valuable William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (2m, soft) last month, taking her form figures to 11321; another chunk of improvement is required but no shock were she to find it.

Spotlight :
Four-time winner over hurdles, including of a 2m Grade 2 juvenile last winter; proved herself at 2m4f when chasing home July Flower in a Leopardstown Grade 3 (good to yielding) in December; freshened up since; has finished out of the first two only once in eight starts but will need a career best if she's to enhance that record here.

Placed in two Grade 1 novice hurdles last spring (2m4f, heavy/yielding) and won a Listed mares' hurdle at Limerick (2m7f, good) in October; below par when 16l third to July Flower at Leopardstown over Christmas but back to her best in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when narrow winner of a Doncaster Grade 2 (3m, good to soft) in January.

Consistent mare who has won Listed and Grade 2 events over 2m this season, seeing off Kargese at Ascot for the latter; just as effective over this trip but probably no more than a place contender.

Spotlight :
Won her first six starts under rules (three bumpers and three novice hurdles); lost her unbeaten record but advanced her form again when third of 15 to Burdett Road in the Greatwood here (2m, good) on reappearance but a touch disappointing when only seventh in another valuable handicap hurdle at Ascot (2m, good to soft) just before Christmas; doesn't obviously shape as if crying out for a longer trip but has stamina in her pedigree and was second in a 3m point before embarking on her rules career.

Spotlight :
Listed winner in bumpers and over hurdles; runner-up in a Grade 3 handicap at Newbury in November after almost a year off and advanced her RPR again when sixth of 19 at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) last month; plenty more will be needed in this race, though.

Runner-up in the 2023 Triumph but only sixth to Lossiemouth in this last year; got a lot closer to her stablemate in a Punchestown Grade 1 in May but not at her best when third in 2m5f Warwick Listed race (soft) on reappearance 31 days ago; may come on for the outing but even a return to her peak form is unlikely to be enough.

Spotlight :
Listed novice hurdle winner last spring; showed she's also useful over fences when landing a Bangor novice chase (around 2m2f, heavy) 13 days ago but about 8l behind Take No Chances in an Ascot Listed hurdle prior to that and there's nothing in her record to suggest she'll be up to the task here.
