Spotlight: Dual-purpose maiden ran his best race yet over hurdles at Ballinrobe 16 days ago when a 2l fourth of 15; could arguably have finished closer only for being squeezed out at the second last; enters calculations now off 1lb higher.

Spotlight: Won in good style at Wexford in July but has come up short off revised mark twice since; beaten 11.5l at Sligo latest; needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Gained breakthrough win off 6lb lower at Kilbeggan earlier this month (2m, good) with Surviving Murmansk 5.5l back in sixth; extra furlong here should be fine for him; player again.

Spotlight: Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again.

Spotlight: Well backed when landing a novice handicap at Perth in June 2025; two runs this year over hurdles nowhere near that level; tongue tie added to cheekpieces; needs to revive.

Spotlight: Similar RPRs in mid 80s in three maiden hurdles last year at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; three decent runs on the Flat since joining this yard so won't lack for fitness in first handicap hurdle; market check advised.

Spotlight: Decent third in a Kilbeggan 4yo maiden hurdle last month (2m3f, good); didn't back it up over 15.5f (yld-sft) at Roscommon latest; could improve on handicap debut for top yard; can't discount.

Spotlight: Maiden has mostly run well this year; beaten just 2l when runner up at Tramore in May; beaten similar distances on last three starts and needs to find a bit more to get her head in front; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn last time.

Spotlight: Shaped promisingly when a 3.25l second at Cork in July off this mark but has failed to build on that; beaten 18l back at Cork on latest and needs to bounce back.

Spotlight: 0-7 over hurdles and well beaten on the Flat at Tramore on latest; fell on last start in this sphere in Cork race won by Chesterbaylad; tongue tie added.

Spotlight: Hasn't built on promising Kilbeggan maiden hurdle second in two runs since, including when beaten 27l on handicap debut on latest; 2lb drop not enough to tempt.

Spotlight: Veteran a capable performer on his day but hasn't won since November 2024; pulled up on return from an 83 day break in a Wexford handicap chase latest; wears cheekpieces for the first time.

Spotlight: Won off 1lb higher at Tramore last year; chased home Chesterbaylad at Cork earlier this month but not in same form twice since; beaten 25l on latest and others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Hasn't made much of an impression in first two handicap hurdles, including over C&D when beaten 18l; new cheekpieces need to bring about major improvement after 105 days off.

Spotlight: Long odds and pulled up in first two handicap hurdles; cheekpieces go on; dropped another 4lb but hard to fancy.
