Spotlight :
Tipperary maiden winner a year ago and went close on handicap debut at the Galway festival; form dipped subsequently but returned with a facile Leopardstown success on first run since a gelding procedure and an 8lb rise is fair; may come on for that run and has to be high on the shortlist.

Struggled last season, albeit given some tough assignments; didn't give the impression a return to form was near at Cork last month though.

Dual-purpose performer who remains well treated but surely needs further than this trip and this may be a pipe-opener for the Flat season.

Spotlight :
Highly progressive, winning five of his last six and the defeat came on his seasonal reappearance; 4lb rise for recent Leopardstown win is fair and he's clearly a tough sort to pass with some of those wins coming from the front; there's not too much pace in this and has to be respected in his current mood.

Losing run since a C&D success on testing ground back in 2023; stayed on well over 1m4f at Cork last time and probably needs further than this, or slower conditions; now tried with first-time cheekpieces.

C&D winner who produces her best performances with cut in the ground and she got her head back in front at Cork before lesser run at Gowran earlier this month; needs rain to arrive to be of interest.

Promise in maidens at the end of last season and only beaten a nose at Ballinrobe on return; 1m2f likely to suit and looks like a major player, despite being 1lb out of the weights.

Spotlight :
Left debut behind with a Dundalk maiden win and then bolted up at Leopardstown on his third run of the campaign; signed off last season with a 2l defeat in Listed company back at Leopardstown last August and that form has worked out; warrants respect despite 275-day absence; gelded since last seen.

Gained three wins last year including a course success and back to form when beaten half a length over 1m4f at Cork earlier this month; return to this trip is fine and down to a workable mark.

Spotlight :
Five-time Dundalk winner with the last four wins coming over 1m4f; cracking run behind Cloud Seeker at Leopardstown (1m2f) earlier this month; up 1lb but may have more to give for his new yard and not ruled out, despite ideally needing a bit further.

Spotlight :
Won Pontefract maiden for William Haggas and hit the crossbar back at that venue when last seen on handicap debut; doesn't look well treated on anything he's done so far and may need this on yard debut returning from 229 days off.

Seven-time AW winner who is yet to score on turf (first run on grass since 2023 here); quick ground would probably help and respectable efforts in defeat this winter but needs to prove he can be at his best at this trip.

Fourth in this last season; didn't take to life over hurdles and his Limerick return wasn't encouraging; 5lb lower this year but others look more likely with all of his best efforts coming on slower ground.
