Spotlight :
Three-time course winner including Grade 2 novice chase over this trip; found things much too demanding in the Brown Advisory and in Punchestown Grade 1; lowering of sights could do the trick, and he has to be regarded as a strong candidate being Jack Kennedy's pick.

Second in 3m6f National Hunt Chase the season before last; ran only twice last season, fair sixth in Kerry National; pulled up in Grand National; ran a fine race when fifth in the Galway Plate; flopped in the Kerry National, much better when third in the Munster National; blinkers replace cheekpieces; good 7lb claimer aboard.

Spotlight :
Won a strong 3m handicap hurdle at 2023 Dublin Racing Festival; jumping has caused concern at times, including on handicap debut at Leopardstown (still in contention when falling at the last); much better when a fine second at Punchestown; tame display when favourite for the Galway Plate; disappointing again in Kerry National; frustrating, but not one to rule out.

Spotlight :
Won three chases in a row in the opening months of 2023 before Tramore defeat; made an excellent return after 560-day absence when staying on strongly for second at Galway three weeks ago; extra of furlong should suit and can uphold form with third-placed Stuzzikini; sound each-way prospect.

1-9 over fences; that win came in C&D Grade 2 novice in February 2023; failed to complete the course in three chase attempts last season; got a confidence-boosting run on stable debut at Tramore in August; long-priced fourth in the Kerry National; big burden now.
