Spotlight :
Only 9-2 when well beaten in Leopardstown novice handicap at Christmas after a string of seconds in maidens and bumpers; readily landed Clonmel maiden last month and may build on that; should handle the ground.

Spotlight :
Landed a valuable contest on handicap debut at Limerick over Christmas and bumped into progressive type over longer trip next time; jumped poorly when well held at Naas and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Spotlight :
Made all to win bumper/maiden hurdle on decent ground in early autumn; ran well in fifth when ridden more patiently in Leopardstown handicap over Christmas; didn't get home when reverting to front-running tactics at same venue last time; return of hood may help him last home.

Spotlight :
Dual hurdles winner in 2022 but more effective as a chaser these days and was progressive over the larger obstacles last summer/autumn; off nearly four months and likely to need the run.

Spotlight :
Heavy-ground maiden winner just over a year ago but said to prefer a better surface; made no impression in Grade 2 novice next time and beaten a long way on return from lengthy layoff in January; handicap debut.

Spotlight :
C&D success was the middle leg of a hat-trick of handicap wins as 4yo; bit high in the ratings subsequently; handicapper gave him a chance which he duly availed of at Navan in November; well held at Leopardstown over Christmas; will like the ground and may bounce back.

Spotlight :
Second runner for Pat Flynn and, like stablemate Walnut Beach, is returning from a layoff; won twice on easy ground in 2023 and ran well on good ground in the autumn; usually runs in lower grade and 7lb wrong.

Spotlight :
Has won back-to-back runnings of valuable Cartmel handicap for the last two summers and this might be the start of his road back to that venue; around 10l off Clarens when last seen at Navan in November and not much better off at the weights when riders' claims are factored in.

Four-time winner over hurdles but very much out of form this winter after unhappy spell over fences in early autumn; hard to support at present.

Spotlight :
Good-ground maiden winner for Tom Gibney in 2023; after a year off, shaped with mild promise on stable debut at Leopardstown over Christmas and heavy ground probably did for him since; not ruled out.

In good heart in 2023 when winning at Cork and running creditably in valuable handicaps at Aintree and Punchestown; well beaten in just two starts last year and no show on recent return from layoff; would prefer further too.
