Spotlight :
Picked up an injury on his final start before a summer break and may have needed the run when finishing in mid-field at Wexford in August; comes into the reckoning now following third placing over 2m4f at Punchestown three weeks ago.

|
Spotlight :
Left all previous form behind to win readily on good ground over 2m4f at Clonmel, accounting for today's rival Hatfield Hammer by a comfortable 3 1/2l; underlined his improvement with a second over a shorter trip here last time, while indicating that a return to further will suit.

Spotlight :
Twice runner-up from his last four starts; definite chance based on second to U Asking Me at Clonmel; meets that rival on 7lb better terms for 3 1/2l margin, although the winner seemed to have more in reserve.

0-16 over hurdles; good second of 17 over an extended 2m3f at Punchestown in June; bounced back from a poor Killarney run when a fair third over 2m at this venue last month; finished fourth in a division of this race last year; each-way chance.

Spotlight :
Maiden runs not without merit; looked in need of further when keeping on for sixth on handicap debut in a 2m1f contest at Cork in June; hard to be confident after a poor run at Killarney a month ago, but early days still and might be transformed by a hood.

Reported to have burst a blood vessel here last time (in the race in which U Asking Me was second); some fair placed form to her credit this season; could be in the mix if no recurrence of the bleeding issue.

Weak hurdles form; showed potential over fences when runner-up in a Downpatrick handicap in May, reported lame after pulling a shoe; absent since soundly beaten in a beginners' event later that month; cheekpieces added to usual tongue-tie.

Ballinrobe winner in the first half of last season; has done almost all his racing on the Flat this year; beaten around 15l when fifth of 18 in a 1m4f handicap at Galway last week; trainer and rider combined for a long-priced win at Down Royal on Saturday.

18-race maiden; absent since going close in a 2m4f handicap at Killarney in August 2022; entitled to need the run, but worth a look for future reference, bearing in mind his trainer's fine record with veterans.
