Spotlight: Five wins between hurdles and fences; pleasing display when winning a 2m6f conditions chase at Tramore in August; kept ticking over with a good second on the Flat at Listowel; handicap form has included a second at three-figure odds in the 2025 Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival.

Spotlight: Much improved when sent chasing last season; stays well; won a Fairyhouse beginners' event by a big margin; held his own in Graded races won by talented performers Oscars Brother and Argento Boy; trainer won this in 2000 and 2003.

Spotlight: Won 2m4f Wexford beginners' a year ago and acquitted herself well in stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 mares' novice at this venue; won a four-runner Grade 3 novice over C&D in late March, making most from halfway; 9-1 when pulled up in a valuable 3m handicap at the Punchestown festival; her course form is an asset.

Spotlight: Off the mark over fences at this venue in March (2m2f, heavy); backed that up with solid runs at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (3m1f, soft) before a career-best in first-time blinkers, winning the Galway Blazers, handling better ground effectively; jumped untidily and was pulled up in the Kerry National; could bounce back.

Spotlight: Won a 2m2f novice chase at Galway in 2024; disappointing when sent off 7-1 for last season's Troytown, after a hurdles win at Galway; absent since pulled up over hurdles at Fairyhouse in March; stable won this in 2005 and 2011.

Spotlight: Made a winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap last November; given winter off until appearing not to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; absent since pulled up in 3m event at Punchestown in May.

Spotlight: Veteran recorded his sixth chase win when landing 3m2f handicap chase win at Kilbeggan in August; given a run on the Flat a fortnight ago; 17lb lower now than when fourth in this race in 2023; not a forlorn hope.

Spotlight: Won this race last year off a mark of 144; well-held second over hurdles at Clonmel last December before being given a break; returned with a hurdles run at Galway; pulled up in the Kerry National; one of four runners for Eric McNamara who also won this in 2024; only 2lb higher than 12 months ago, very capable 7lb-claiming amateur on board.

Spotlight: 1-18 over fences; best effort last season when second to stablemate French Dynamite in this event (yielding to soft); seventh of 18 finishers in the Kim Muir (fourth in that race in 2025); first outing now since pulled up in the Irish Grand National; decent chance if his fitness holds up.

Spotlight: Top cross-country performer at Punchestown and Cheltenham (Festival winner in 2025); ran only twice last season; triumphed in the Velka Pardubicka (4m2f, good); weakened into fourth under a big burden in the Cheltenham event won by his lightly-weighted stablemate Final Orders; big task here without a warm-up.

Spotlight: Bumper and hurdles winner is 0-17 over fences; has run with much credit in valuable handicaps, notably when third at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival and second in the Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse last November, both races over 3m6f; pulled up in three of his last five starts; some reassurance provided by last month's Listowel third.

Spotlight: Dual winner over hurdles; close second in a novice chase at Down Royal in April; fell in the Kerry National; remote fifth over 2m3f in a second Listowel appearance; plenty to prove as a chaser but runs off 13lb lower than his hurdles mark

Spotlight: Four-time point-to-point winner gained first chase win under rules in a seven-runner C&D handicap in March (soft-to-heavy); raised 6lb for that; out of contention when falling at the last at Fairyhouse in April; absent since; up against it here; first reserve.

Spotlight: Won twice over hurdles; 0-7 over fences; unseated at the 15th when 8-1 for the 2025 Kim Muir at Cheltenham; failed to get home in the Grand Irish National the following month; pulled up at Ballinrobe early last season and not seen since.

Spotlight: Two wins, two falls from five starts over fences for Henry de Bromhead; suited by the race conditions when winning a 2m4f mares' chase at this venue in April; made no impact on her stable/handicap debut in the Kerry National; hard to fancy.

Spotlight: Won a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in May; held when unseating in the Galway Blazers; not for the first time, disappointing off his lower hurdles mark on latest.

Spotlight: Got to the front after four out and held on to beat Kings Hill in the 3m Connacht National at Roscommon in June; raised 8lb for that; towards the rear behind Kings Hill in the Galway Blazers; struggled at Killarney; trainer appears to have stronger candidates.

Spotlight: Best form in 2023; consistent, if frustrating, in 2024; off for a year before failing to recapture his best form in three runs last season; struggled over hurdles at Gowran recently; 5lb out of the handicap; second reserve.
