Spotlight: Never counted in a Flat race last weekend but had previously gone close in a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford (good); can cope with this sharper test and slower ground; respected.

Spotlight: Had failed to build on the promise of his bumper debut but was backed for a Wexford maiden last week (2m4f, good) and duly won well; however, the runner-up was rated only 83 so the form is nothing to shout about; handicap debut.

Spotlight: Lightly raced mare who was in first-time cheekpieces when getting up in the nick of time over C&D last month (good); only 4lb higher and entitled to improve some more.

Spotlight: Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim.

Spotlight: Only real effort of note since last July's Killarney win (2m4f, good; same mark) was the third at Plumpton in April and yet they went no pace in that race; others preferred.

Spotlight: Is 0-8; had no excuses from the front when beaten just under 5l at Kilbeggan three weeks ago (2m, good); may improve for this longer trip (placed behind Mr Dibbs in a 2m4f maiden) and the tongue-tie is new.

Spotlight: Bumper and C&D winner; confirmed her liking for this track when staying on for third over 2m here recently and returning to further is an obvious move.

Spotlight: Runner-up in his last three handicap chases and no reason why he shouldn't continue the good work back over hurdles off a lower mark in this discipline, provided the ground doesn't turn too soft.

Spotlight: Is 0-13 over hurdles; best form on testing ground so rain would be welcomed; not a bad effort on good to yielding last time when tried in blinkers; each-way claims.

Spotlight: Had two runs for this yard and sufficient promise in those Cork maidens (2m3f; soft/good) to believe she can pay her way in handicaps; considered.

Spotlight: Sole win came over further at Limerick just over a year ago; needed to run better last time at Kilbeggan to make the shortlist for this.

Spotlight: Took form to a new level by winning comfortably at Tramore (2m, yielding) but went up 8lb for that and came up short on last week's return visit; still difficult to put a line though him in current vein of form.

Spotlight: Won a Kilbeggan maiden 12 months ago but then twice tailed off in handicaps, over 3m1f and 2m3f; needs to leave those efforts behind and has been absent since July.

Spotlight: Won back-to-back handicaps last summer but hasn't looked that sharp in two comprehensive defeats after a break.

Spotlight: Last summer's Kilbeggan win off 5lb lower remains her sole win in 26 starts; opposable on balance of form and lacks a recent run.

Spotlight: Winning pointer; first run in maidens was mildly encouraging but hasn't progressed; handicap debut.
