Spotlight: Hurdles winner here in 2025 and proving a better chaser this summer, winning twice in 2m7f Killarney handicaps with some ease under hold-up tactics, most recently last month off 90; in between decent second at Roscommon on soft; up a further 8lb but rider takes off 5lb; major player, especially if ground doesn't worsen.

Spotlight: Repeated previous year's win when landing 3m1f Roscommon handicap last month (soft), overcoming traffic problems under today's rider (first two clear); up 7lb for that, so more needed and rain would help his cause.

Spotlight: Maiden hurdler has shown improvement upped in trip last twice in 2m4f handicaps, runner-up at Sligo and Wexford on good ground; brother Donnacha is a better chaser, so could improve for this switch in codes.

Spotlight: Landed 3m Wexford handicap hurdle in July off 76 (good); back chasing latest when chasing home unchallenged all-the-way winner Fr Gilligansvoyge over 2m6f at Tramore last month; only fourth chase start here, so improvement likely.

Spotlight: Won 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April and produced his best effort to date over fences when a staying third in 2m6f Galway handicap last month (good); should have more to offer chasing.

Spotlight: Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include over 3m2f at Kilbeggan last month; good Wexford second a week later shows he remains on a competitive mark.

Spotlight: Second reserve; won 2m6f Tramore handicap chase last year and more recently landed 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in June; creditable fourth back chasing at latter venue, well held at Roscommon latest.

Spotlight: Sole win came in 3m1f Wexford handicap chase last summer (good); two runs this spring were below his best and returns here from four months' break.

Spotlight: Has a record of 1-30 over hurdles and has been mostly below form this year until more encouraging Wexford third last month; 0-6 chasing and first run over fences since last November.

Spotlight: Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f) on good ground; well held last twice in Kilbeggan handicap chases, however, so needs to bounce back.

Spotlight: Point winner but a maiden under rules, 3m2f Down Royal handicap chase fourth his best recent effort; poor Punchestown effort when last seen in June, however.

Spotlight: First reserve; modest maiden hurdler didn't count, but some late headway on chase/yard debut at Kilbeggan in late July; more needed.

Spotlight: Third reserve; sole win came in 2m4f Clonmel handicap hurdle in 2024; recent chase form far from encouraging.

Spotlight: Eight wins between hurdles and fences including one win here; however, has been pulled up the last twice so questions now, but is 26lb below her career-high chase mark.

Spotlight: Nine-race maiden over hurdles and never sighted on comeback run last month in Roscommon beginners' chase; into handicap company here and best watched.

Spotlight: Won over hurdles at Clonmel last season before losing all form; couple of encouraging Kilbeggan efforts this term, but needs to improve on more recent hurdles form.

Spotlight: Off the mark in 2m6f handicap hurdle here in July (good) in first-time cheekpieces; let down by his jumping on both efforts since over fences, so big improvement needed.

Spotlight: Won Ballysteen point-to-point in April but little of note under rules, pulled up on both recent outings in handicap chases after never featuring.

Spotlight: Banks performer won at Punchestown in 2023 and most recently second of four finishers in 2m6f cross-country chase at Le Lion-D'Angers in late May; rare outing in a handicap and may need this.
