Spotlight: Both wins have come at Downpatrick over this sort of trip, most recently 13 days ago when staying on well to assert run-in under 7lb claimer; up 7lb for that and no claim here so tough task.

Spotlight: 12-race maiden who put up his best effort for a while at Galway early this month when fourth over 2m (soft); good bit more needed though.

Spotlight: Better chaser than hurdler, four of five wins coming at Tramore; absent since June and returns off 13lb lower hurdles mark (first run over hurdles in nearly a year) so can't be ignored.

Spotlight: Recent handicap debut effort a definite step in the right direction, only weakening after jumping right at the last in finishing third of 16 over 2m at Fairyhouse (good); should go well.

Spotlight: Maiden whose best recent effort when third over 2m4f at Killarney in August (good); unseated at halfway on latest at Punchestown; seems pretty exposed and others preferred.

Spotlight: Some promise in bumpers; not much luck in both handicap hurdle runs in the spring, badly hampered here and in 2m6f Down Royal novice handicap closing second when unseating at last; likely has more to offer and although lacking a recent run has to be considered.

Spotlight: Regular here, placed twice last year on similar ground; absent since decent fourth of 16 over C&D in April and may just need this.

Spotlight: Second reserve; runner-up in two maidens last year; hasn't been running too badly in handicaps of late but more needed.

Spotlight: Shed the maiden tag at Bellewstown (2m1f) in late August but well held off 6lb higher twice since; still only a 5yo so may have more to offer.

Spotlight: Won nicely at Cork in August but has struggled off 6lb higher in both starts since, reportedly never travelling at Fairyhouse 12 days ago; hard to fancy.

Spotlight: Yet make the frame; recent handicap form doesn't offer too much encouragement.

Spotlight: Modest form in handicap hurdles, most recently well held on chase debut, having tended to jump left at Roscommon early this month; of limited appeal.

Spotlight: Nothing in maidens until staying on to take a modest third of 13 in 2m Kilbeggan contest early this month; never better than midfield on handicap debut at Listowel off what looked a high initial mark; down 2lb but others preferred.

Spotlight: Won twice here in the spring of last year on good/heavy; recent return here after a break was okay and expected to come on for that; 3lb lower than last winning mark.

Spotlight: First reserve; three hurdle wins at 2m, last win coming off 104; light campaign and below best this year but handicapper giving him a chance.

Spotlight: Third reserve; 20-1 winner of Kilbeggan maiden in May but handiap form so far has been ordinary, soft ground at Galway last time may not have suited; needs to improve.

Spotlight: Five-time hurdles winner at 2m on decent ground; not as effective a chaser and well held back hurdling last twice, although recent run was after near year's absence so entitled to come on for it.

Spotlight: Won at Gowran two years ago off 82, reappearing from long absence for new yard when weakening two out in 2m3f Cork handicap 11 days ago; entitled to come on for that.

Spotlight: 0-12 over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien; very modest form in three chase starts for that stable, most recently well held after making much of running in 2m4f handicap hurdle here three weeks ago.
