Spotlight :
Lightly-raced 6yo won Galway maiden hurdle on debut and looked good in winning 2m2f Limerick novice chase this time last year; better again on seasonal return in October when only outpointed late in 2m4f Wexford handicap in October (well clear of the remainder); back in trip here and should go well with rider's claim.

Improved for fitting of a hood, winning 2m6f Downpatrick handicap hurdle last term and more recently produced late to land 2m4f beginners' chase at same venue in October; better again when close third in 2m1f Down Royal handicap later same month; progressing well and one to consider.

Spotlight :
French hurdles winner off the mark at second attempt in chases in C&D beginners' (left clear last) in March; following month race essentially ended with mistake four out (eased) in Cork handicap; has been off 249 days and remains unexposed; has to be respected given the form of the Elliott yard.

Spotlight :
Back-to-back hurdling wins at Clonmel in early summer and steady improvement in four attempts chasing, notably latest when front-running second at same venue in 2m3f novice handicap early this month on heavy; better ground here may suit and could prove the pick of the de Bromhead quintet.

Dual hurdles winner is 0-4 chasing this term, coming up against some smart types in maidens, most recently faller two out when not out of it at Fairyhouse 13 days ago; sole runner for top yard so has to be respected, but opposable on form so far now making handicap debut.

Both handicap wins have been at this trip although last one was over two years ago; fine second at Punchestown in May and fit from two runs last month, so could go well albeit holds no secrets from the handicapper.

Latest of three hurdle wins came over C&D at this fixture in 2023; 0-10 chasing however, just denied in Down Royal novice last term and decent second in 2m1f Tipperary handicap in May off this mark; recent Clonmel fifth leaves him with a bit to find with Trasna Na Pairce.

Last year's short-head defeat of The Folkes Tiara in this race off 116 was backed up off 6lb higher at the Dublin Racing Festival; season ended disappointingly, so has a bit to prove after tame hurdles run last time.

Four wins over fences include this race in 2021 off 130; better recent form has been over hurdles, winning 2m6f Limerick handicap last season and twice runner-up at Sligo over the summer; stamina test (3m, soft) too much at Clonmel on latest; can't rule out off this much reduced chase mark.
