Spotlight: Lightly raced 3yo backed up all-the-way 1m maiden win here in August by landing Curragh handicap over 7f following month in similar fashion (beating Eddie G a neck); 3lb rise okay with the potential for more improvement.

Spotlight: Shrewd buy has won handicaps over this trip at Gowran and last month at Listowel; better again off 10lb higher mark when raised in class at the Curragh, only losing second late on over 1m1f; slight drop in trip to suit and can go well again.

Spotlight: Went close at both Gowran and Roscommon over the summer before second career win last month when scoring over 1m at Listowel under a positive ride (Eddie G a closing third); 8lb rise but rider now takes off 5lb so should remain competitive.

Spotlight: Won maiden on this card last year (heavy) and just denied in 7f handicap here in June (soft); handled good ground well when third in Curragh premier handicap and wasn't disgraced there on latest in Irish Cambridgeshire; worth considering with rider's valuable claim.

Spotlight: Wins over 7f at Naas and Galway over the summer and holding his form well, most recently getting to within a neck of front-running Uncle Goalie over same trip at the Curragh; 1m probably stretches him but definite chance of reversing that form here on 2lb better terms.

Spotlight: Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form.

Spotlight: Steadily progressive 3yo, three wins over 1m this year including here; excellent third of 22 over 1m2f in the Northfields Handicap at the Curragh last month but never landed a blow there on latest; don't rule out a return to form.

Spotlight: Good-ground wins in June came at 7f; high head carriage not the most endearing but close fourth in premier handicap here last month is good form, soft ground seemed to find him out at Naas on latest; cheekpieces tried last time now discarded and tries this trip for only the second time.

Spotlight: Four wins last year included premier handicap here on Champions Weekend; not at same level this year albeit not beaten fair of late, twice at this track; handicapper slowly relenting so not one to dismiss.

Spotlight: Two wins last year on soft/heavy and back to form last month on better ground, just failing to get up at Cork and again finished well, having had to wait for an opening, when second to Morehampton at Listowel; disappointingly never really landed a blow at the Curragh on latest and now tried in cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Latest of four wins was over two years ago; good second in a premier handicap at the Curragh in June, and fourth in the Irish Cambridgeshire was another fair effort; soft ground against him on latest, more expected of here.

Spotlight: In good form at Dundalk last winter, winning at 6f/1m; absent since turf return at Naas in March when creditable fifth in Madrid Handicap (soft) until dropping away tamely at the Curragh early this month on similar ground; entitled to come on for that run.

Spotlight: AW maiden winner wasn't beaten all that far in his first three handicaps (7f-1m1f) on turf, including here; absent since disappointing Gowran effort in June and makes comeback here ahead of a likely AW campaign.

Spotlight: Two wins include C&D handicap in April but has struggled off revised mark since; out of depth in Longchamp Listed on latest and still 4lb above her last winning mark.

Spotlight: Maiden win came here and added 6.6f handicap win at Listowel in May; career-best when touched off at the Curragh last month but safely held off revised mark twice since, including on Wednesday; tries this trip for the first time.

Spotlight: Won on good ground at two in France; very lightly raced in recent years, well held all four runs this season; handicapper relenting (down 15lb this year) but hard to be confident in.
