Spotlight: 66-1 when fifth in a 23-runner maiden hurdle won by Kopek Des Bordes at the Christmas 2024 Leopardstown meeting; placed in two bumper runs at Punchestown a year apart; was entitled to need last month's race when second in a four-runner contest, splitting the Elliott and Mullins runners.

Spotlight: 3-6 for Roger Varian (rated 93) suited by good ground; joined this stable for 120,000gns; promising third on hurdling debut at Leopardstown; has failed to improve in two winners' events, including a Naas contest in which the subsequent Fred Winter Saratoga was second; the ground remains on the soft side for him.

Spotlight: Second at Auteuil in March 2024; ran only twice last season; shaped well at Leopardstown in December on reappearance; appeared not to stay the near-2m3f trip at Naas in January, although finished 18l in front of Newbrook Diamond who ran out of steam more tellingly.

Spotlight: Useful form in three bumpers for Pat Fahy, winning at Punchestown last October (good-to-yielding); bought for 58,000GBP at Cheltenham following month; stepped up from hurdling/stable debut at Down Royal when the only horse to make a race of out with the odds-on Brechin Castle at Naas.

Spotlight: Dungarvan point-to-point winner on debut last season; runner-up on bumper debut at Cork next time (2m3f, yielding); two fair runs over hurdles but this looks too competitive.

Spotlight: Hurdling newcomer; only one win from 22 starts on the Flat but placed eight times; likely to need jumping experience.

Spotlight: Fair run in a Galway festival bumper last year; may improve a little from an initial hurdles run at Naas in December.

Spotlight: Beaten almost 50l when sixth in a ten-runner C&D maiden on debut; best watched for now.

Spotlight: Seventh foal; half-brother to winners Nancy Wyse (point and bumper) and Earthly Reason (point); dam placed in bumpers and over hurdles

Spotlight: Remote fourth of five finishers in a maiden point at Borris House, unlikely to feature

Spotlight: Remote fourth on hurdling debut over C&D; jumped badly in 2m6f event here last time.

Spotlight: Well beaten in three bumpers; failed to get into contention on hurdling debut at Leopardstown

Spotlight: Good pedigree; fourth in a bumper at Punchestown on debut; soundly beaten in two hurdle races at the same venue; will need a handicap mark.

Spotlight: Struggling at half way when pulled up in a maiden point last month; can be discounted.

Spotlight: Has hinted at ability in two maiden hurdle outings; his future may lie in handicaps; reserve.

Spotlight: Mild promise in points; completely tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Gowran a fortnight ago.

Spotlight: 0-6 on the Flat, rated a modest 60; no encouragement from his first two hurdle starts; out of contention when falling at the last at Gowran.

Spotlight: Unseated at the second over C&D on debut; 200-1 when tailed off at Naas; can be ruled out.

Spotlight: Failed to complete in three outings in points; has posed no threat in two hurdle starts.

Spotlight: Pulled up all four starts in points, two nondescript bumper runs; tailed off on hurdles debut at Down Royal.

Spotlight: Huge price in maiden Naas and Fairyhouse and has run accordingly.

Spotlight: Unable to make any impact in outings at Fairyhouse and Naas; no apparent chance.

Spotlight: Well-related gelding from a top yard; no sign of winning potential at this early stage; stable has two strong contenders.
