Spotlight: Winner over this trip at last year's festival off 78 (yielding); not at the same level since but there was some promise in his Cartmel effort last time when finishing fourth despite not getting a clear run (7f, good to soft); down to an attractive mark.

Spotlight: Seeking a three-timer after good ground 7f wins at Limerick and Fairyhouse; slapped with an 8lb rise for his easy win last time; has ability and it remains to be seen if his revised mark is enough to stop him.

Spotlight: 0-9 but his run on Tuesday on return from a break sporting a first-time tongue-tie was one of his best efforts (1m, yielding); had a couple of today's rivals behind him on that occasion; his second in a maiden here in October was also up there with his best (7f, heavy); may improve again with tongue-tie retained.

Spotlight: Good effort here on Tuesday for new yard when a 1l fifth of 18 (Comfort Line and Loingseoir behind); some okay runs in maidens; the drop in trip here seems fine; he is one of the likelier ones.

Spotlight: Winner of a big field Leopardstown handicap in March off 60 (1m, good); down the field in three runs following that but his recent runs at Kilbeggan and Gowran over 1m when finishing close behind the winner have been more like it; he was mowed down late on last time when looked to have stolen it from the front; chance.

Spotlight: Maiden has been placed five times up to 1m; second in a Gowran maiden in May was one of his best efforts (1m, good); not at the same level in three runs since; hard to have faith in him putting his best foot forward.

Spotlight: Winner of this in 2023 off 70 (heavy); won again the following month at Listowel (7f, soft) but winless since then; returned here last year and finished last of all (7f, soft); some encouragement in his last two runs, so can't be completely ruled out.

Spotlight: Got off the mark at the Curragh in March when winning a handicap by a head off 68 (1m, soft); best form has come in softer conditions so he would like to see some rain; new headgear combination tried.

Spotlight: 9-96; winner on the AW back in March over this trip off 72; some poor turf runs since but his run here on Tuesday was a step back in the right direction when he finished a 1.75l seventh of 18 (1m, yielding); declared to run here on Thursday.

Spotlight: First reserve; ran keenly at Fairyhouse when last seen to finish fourth (7f, good); prior to that his best run was at Gowran in April when finishing third of 16 (1m, heavy); non-runner here on Friday

Spotlight: Second reserve; easy winner of a 7f Limerick handicap on penultimate start off 52 (good); neck second in a Bellewstown claimer when last seen (1m, good); clearly in good form; declared to run here on Friday.

Spotlight: Third reserve; 6-48 on Flat, didn't run badly at Fairyhouse when sixth of 16 (7f, good); ran on late for eighth place at Leopardstown last time (7f, good); others likely better handicapped.

Spotlight: Placed three times in Britain for Karl Burke at up to 1m3f; form in Ireland has not been at the same level, although his fourth in a Kilbeggan claimer last time was his best effort (1m, soft).

Spotlight: Sole win from 19 starts came at Naas in April last year off 66 (6f, yielding); some okay runs following that, including her comeback run at the Curragh in March when a 1.75l third (6f, soft); her three most recent runs leave a lot to be desired.

Spotlight: Four-time winner at 5f/6f; out of form since winning at Pontefranct last year; hasn't beaten a rival in two starts this term for new stable.

Spotlight: Won a C&D maiden last year (yielding); has struggled in handicaps since then; well beaten at the Curragh last time (1m, good); maybe the return to this track will spark something.
