Spotlight: Took his record to 3-18 over hurdles with a comfortable 7l win here last time off 98 (2m4f, soft to heavy); that was his first victory since winning a Perth handicap off 112 over two years ago; signalled a return to form was in the offing when a neck second at Ayr prior to his win; still on a decent mark and a leading contender back up in trip.

Spotlight: Bagged third hurdles win at Clonmel last time when keeping on well over 3m from 2lb out of the handicap; he enjoys soft ground, but his patchy profile means he is not a surefire thing to follow up.

Spotlight: Tipperary maiden hurdle winner over 3m in May last year but hasn't looked as though his first handicap win was imminent in recent runs, although finished a distant third at Cork last time; his mark is falling but others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Made the breakthrough with a maiden hurdle win at Thurles in October over 2m6f on good to yielding but well beaten in a novice hurdle back at that track next time (yielding to soft); ran well in a heavy ground Limerick bumper in January; cheekpieces go on for handicap debut and he is in the mix.

Spotlight: Some early promise in bumpers and much the best of his four maiden hurdle runs came at Limerick on seasonal return when taking a 5l third of 10 (2m3f, good); ran to a similar level back in a handicap at Thurles last time when again taking third (2m4f, yielding to soft); place chance.

Spotlight: Winless from 11 starts and has failed to trouble the judge in eight hurdle starts; finished 20l behind at Fairyhouse last time and 7lb wrong here.

Spotlight: Three-time Scandinavian Flat winner who ran a decent race on Irish debut in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in February when fourth; lesser efforts following that, but his third place finish at Thurles on second handicap start was more like it (2m4f, yielding to soft); retains the same mark and he is unexposed.

Spotlight: Dual hurdles winner with his last win coming at Fairyhouse over 3m off 101 in April (good to yielding); didn't go unbacked but looked as though the comeback run would bring him on on Galway return in October; can do better.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; point-to-point winner was unable to make the breakthrough under rules for Henry de Bromhead and has been well beaten in completed starts for new trainer; 2lb wrong

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; bumper and hurdles winner but last win came two years ago; precious little shown in recent times and 3lb wrong here.

Spotlight: Got second hurdles win at Tipperary in July last year off 120, but runs since are followed by letters (pulled up three times and fell once); impossible to fancy.

Spotlight: Best of seven maiden hurdle runs came at Ballinrobe when taking the runner-up spot over an extended 2m6f on good ground in August; poor in runs following that, but her fourth place at Thurles last time was a decent showing; 4lb wrong for handicap debut.

Spotlight: Veteran is higher rated over fences and has looked as though age may be catching up with him in his last few runs last season and on seasonal return at Cork when tailed off.

Spotlight: Strike rate of 1-25 under rules and tailed off in five runs before pulling up at Clonmel over fences latest; hard to fancy.
