Spotlight: In fine form over fences when last seen early this year with back to back wins at Punchestown (22.5f, soft) and a novice chase here in February (3m2f, soft); has won over timber and conditions fine for return; big chance if fit in first-time tongue tie.

Spotlight: Touched off in a valuable Punchestown handicap chase in May; below that level over fences since but rated 15lb lower in this sphere and has run okay here before; could go well on first run over timber since April 2022 if he's ready after 197-days off.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner was narrowly denied here in February (2m4f, heavy) off 6lb lower; solid runs in defeat the last twice at Galway over 22.5f; stamina to prove for this trip, big chance if he stays (positive signals in pedigree).

Spotlight: Modest form in maidens but has improved since tackling handicaps; ran well over 2m4f (soft) here in February and again upped to 3m at Naas in April; latest run may have been needed after break; yard in form; chance.

Spotlight: Nine-race maiden was a decent 6l third at Listowel latest (23.5f, gd-yld) and has also got placed form on heavy; however, needs more off 1lb higher in this tougher race.

Spotlight: Won off 8lb lower at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good); back on track after two poor chase runs when a 5l second of 16 at Listowel (2m6f, gd-yld) in first time blinkers (retained); this tougher off 3lb higher and majority of best form is on better ground.

Spotlight: Gained second win of his career at Punchestown in June (3m, gd-yld) off 2lb lower; not as good the last twice and pulled up on his sole previous run over C&D; others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Flat and good ground maiden hurdle winner who has coped with soft ground in the past; ran well off 2lb higher at Sligo in July but not as good the last twice; place chance if reproduces that Sligo effort.

Spotlight: Won off 5lb lower at Tramore last November (2m5f, sft-hvy); poor off revised mark twice since and has been off the track since a poor Punchestown run in February; best watched.

Spotlight: C&D winner (yld-sft) on New Year's Day off 101 and 3lb lower now; below best in three runs since return from a break but the return to softer ground and this venue could spark a revival.

Spotlight: Three-time winner over hurdles including here over 2m4f; ground versatile but well below best since winning at Downpatrick in July and stamina to prove for this trip.

Spotlight: Best run last season came on his seasonal reappearance in a Navan handicap chase (3m, yielding); three non-completions over fences since and now looks to exploit 11lb lower hurdles mark on return in first-time cheekpieces; not discounted.

Spotlight: Won off 5lb lower at Wexford in July (2m4f, good); struggled off revised mark in three runs since and pulled up on latest at Thurles; others make more appeal.
