Spotlight: Sole success over fences was in a mares' beginners' event at Ballinrobe in September 2024; respectable efforts here and there before finishing an excellent second in the Galway Blazers; failed to get into the Kerry National; the one to beat if she can reproduce her Galway effort.

Spotlight: Dual winner over hurdles but better over fences; won a 2m3f beginners' chase at Wexford last month before finishing a good third in a 2m5f Listed handicap chase at Killarney; improving chaser and looks capable of getting involved.

Spotlight: Five-time winner under all codes; broke his chasing duck despite some novicey jumping in a 2m3f novice at Wexford in July; kept on late, after losing his place, in a similar handicap chase at Kilbeggan three weeks ago after a fine effort over hurdles at Galway; the type to keep improving over fences and this trip is more suitable; contender.

Spotlight: Sole win over fences came in a valuable 3m2f handicap chase at Cheltenham in December; decent enough run in the Ultima at the Festival in March; not seen since pulling up in the Scottish National; others more likely here, but worth watching with the big staying handicap chases coming up.

Spotlight: Second in a Galway beginners' chase last year and a couple of decent efforts since; well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Killarney last month; others preferred.

Spotlight: Five-time winner, 2-11 over fences; staying on at the finish of a 2m4f handicap chase at Kilbeggan last month on only his second 2026 start; more needed.

Spotlight: Dual winner over hurdles and rated 140 in that sphere; close second in a novice chase at Down Royal in April; fell at the first in Wednesday's Kerry National; potentially very well in over fences and still unexposed; could be a big player here.

Spotlight: Front-runner; made all in this race last year; no joy since, but has now slipped to last winning mark; off since June, but could make a bold bid.

Spotlight: Wide-margin winner of an ordinary contest at Wexford in March; weak overall form in the context of this; has struggled in handicaps.

Spotlight: Two wins over fences, including a 2m1f handicap chase at Leopardstown in December; third in a Listed contest at the same venue before not being disgraced in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham and the Topham at Aintree; ran okay in the Galway Blazers before a disappointing effort in a three-runner contest over 2m1f at Ballinrobe; unproven over this trip, but respected in an open contest.

Spotlight: Seven-time winner, last successful in a Listed 2m1f handicap chase at Fairyhouse in November; only bits and pieces of form since, a close third in a 3m1f conditions hurdle at Kilbeggan probably his best run; not dismissed, but others do arrive in better form.

Spotlight: Hurdle and chase winner for Willie Mullins; unconvincing in three runs for his current stable, no match for Bunting (Addragoole third) in a 3-runner 2m1f contest at Ballinrobe last time; big step up in trip here.

Spotlight: Decent staying handicap chaser on goodish ground, as he showed when landing a Listed 3m handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in May; never got involved in the Galway Plate; new headgear tried today and dangerous to underestimate.

Spotlight: Grade 3-winning novice hurdler; unconvincing in four runs over fences, especially in his jumping; pulled up in a Killarney handicap hurdle in July when last seen; others preferred.
