Spotlight: Comfortably justified favouritism at Punchestown in October (2m7f, good to yielding) when returned to fences, adding to his summer hurdles win at Galway; a long way below his best on heavy at Cheltenham last time; could bounce back to form on this better ground.

Spotlight: Beaten favourite in two outings in beginners' events; may do better in handicap company; interesting as sole runner in the race for his in-form trainer.

Spotlight: Won a three-runner beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien at Limerick last year when the odds-on favourite fell; poor form thereafter; non-completions in two starts in 2025 for Eoin Doyle; shaped encouragingly when second on stable debut at Fairyhouse, blinkers (replacing visor) may help; rider's claim is a big asset.

Spotlight: Point winner; won a Clonmel maiden hurdle last year and some decent efforts in defeat in graded races after; third on all three chase runs; gave a promising display as the trainer's third string in a 2m3f contest at Limerick; shaped as if this trip will suit when staying on in a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap last time.

Spotlight: Bounced back from a disappointing Galway run when winning well for this rider at Fairyhouse; can remain competitive off a 6lb higher mark.

Spotlight: Started the season with two undistinguished displays over hurdles; returned to form with a vengeance when making all to land a gamble in a 2m handicap at Navan; well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase.

Spotlight: Maiden; 0-6 in chases; stayed well when second over 3m4f here in March; disappointed in a 3m Fairyhouse handicap in April; soundly beaten in a beginners' chase at the same venue on seasonal debut; dropped in class after being pulled up in the Troytown Chase.

Spotlight: Has failed to make much impact in three handicap attempts since May; stablemate Mystical Goddess is more appealing.

Spotlight: Won a mares' handicap chase by a short head at Fairyhouse in April; ran a solid race to finish close up in fifth in the Galway Blazers; may have needed last month's Fairyhouse run.

Spotlight: No success yet over fences and is beginning to look well exposed; addition of cheekpieces failed to bring about improvement at Clonmel; others preferred.

Spotlight: Two wins from five starts over hurdles; has failed to reach the same standard over fences; plenty of weight here; not one of the more of the obvious contenders.

Spotlight: Put in a good display over hurdles at Cork earlier in the month; poor strike rate over fences (1-22) a negative, although placed ten times; each-way chance.

Spotlight: Eight-time winner (four over hurdles), has failed to shine in three chase attempts; up against it.

Spotlight: Has recorded four wins at Fairyhouse; his only other success was gained over 3m4f at this track the season before last; appears held by Vaureal on running at Fairyhouse last time.
