Spotlight: Beat Grade 2 winning hurdler Jet Blue in a bumper on sole French start in 2022; returned from a 923-day absence last December in a soft ground maiden hurdle when an okay fourth to Jasmin De Vaux; didn't follow that up three weeks later when well beaten at Leopardstown; returns from an absence again but has ability.

Spotlight: A two-time winner on the Flat for Henry de Bromhead in 2022 at 1m7f-2m1f on good ground; has been running encouraging races over hurdles for new trainer; runner up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick on penultimate start (2m1f, good); a midfield finish in a handicap at this track last time (2m, yielding; has a chance.

Spotlight: Last time out winner on the AW in France (1m4f); has only finished out of the placings once in seven starts; first run for Henry de Bromhead but she could be a dangerous debutante if sufficiently ready after a 180 day break.

Spotlight: Ran green on bumper debut at Thurles last December when fifth (2m, good); remote fourth in a Clonmel bumper in April (2m4f, good to yielding); shaped encouragingly last time in her maiden hurdle debut at the same track when finishing second (2m, good); she still showed signs of inexperience that day and she can improve with practice.

Spotlight: First reserve; half-sister to 2m bumper and hurdle winners Your Darling and What's Up Darling; dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner; yard does well in these races.

Spotlight: Has stepped up on his point-to-point form with his two runs over hurdles; outran his odds at Down Royal when finishing fourth of 15 at odds of 125-1 (2m1f, good); was keeping on last time at Fairyhouse when he possibly could have snatched second place (2m4f, yielding); drop back in trip here is probably not ideal.

Spotlight: Three time winner on the Flat in France at 1m2f; last win came in October 2023; makes first start for 378 days for new trainer and has been gelded in the meantime; an interesting runner and market can be a help for his first try over hurdles.

Spotlight: Best performance came in a Thurles bumper in February last year (soft-heavy); has been midfield in last two maiden hurdle starts; didn't run badly when hooded for the first time in a Ballinrobe bumper last time where he finished third; perhaps best on soft ground.

Spotlight: Didn't appear to stay in a Kilbeggan bumper last time (2m3f, good); finished a remote second in sole point-to-point start last October at Tinahely; beaten 29L over this trip at Clonmel in March; needs improvement.

Spotlight: Has been steadily getting better on each of his three bumper starts where he has been sent off at big odds; beaten by 9L most recently at Wexford (2m, good); tries hurdles for the first time.

Spotlight: Rated 76 on AW; Sole win came on penultimate start in a Dundalk maiden over 1m where she won by a nose; well beaten last time for new trainer at the scene of her win (1m); tries hurdles for the first time and can't be completely ruled out.

Spotlight: Brother to 2m1f hurdle winner Gimme A Buzz, half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Dreamsrmadeofthis; dam 1m4f AQPS Flat and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner; trainer not know for bumper runners; worth a market check.

Spotlight: Sister to 2m7f hurdle winner Littlefoot; dam third in bumper, sister to useful 2m5f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Miss Serious, half-sister to bumper winner Gaillimh A Chroi; market can guide as to expectations.

Spotlight: Beaten 47L on maiden hurdle bow 7 days ago for new trainer; 70 rated Flat performer in Britain for John Butler; sole win for him came at Wolverhampton in November 2023 (1m4f); unlikely to feature.

Spotlight: 14,000 Euros purchase as a three-year-old; half-brother to 2m3f-3m hurdle winner The Lord Maid; dam 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner, sister to bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Hazy Tom; market can guide as to his chances.

Spotlight: Dam maiden pointer, half-sister to winners Nom De Guerre (2m4f hurdle/3m1f chase) and Guts For Garters (3m-4m hurdle/chase); pedigree doesn't make huge appeal on debut.

Spotlight: Brought down at the first on first start under rules when sent off at 150-1; pulled up on sole point-to-point start in December; put a line through him.

Spotlight: Huge price for debut at Down Royal where beaten by 80L; safe to rule out.

Spotlight: Pulled up on first maiden hurdle start at Fairyhouse; beaten by 73L last time at Down Royal; sent off at fancy prices both times and similar outcome expected here.

Spotlight: Tailed off in a Fairyhouse bumper at odds of 250-1 on sole start; can't be fancied.

Spotlight: Won a Gowran Flat maiden on racecourse debut for former trainer Willie McCreery (7f, soft); form has seriously dipped since then and new trainer hasn't reversed that decline in two maiden hurdle starts where he has been unsighted; needs a revival.

Spotlight: Three time Flat winner; last win came at Bellewstown two years ago (7f, heavy); has pulled up and unseated since trying hurdles; an unlikely candidate.
