Spotlight: Ran a bit green when winning an academy hurdle at Cork; cause was helped when his nearest pursuer blundered badly at the last, so flattered by the 5 1/2l margin; the race is hard to assess, but he could be hard to beat with the experience under his belt.

Spotlight: Winner of a 1m4f Tipperary maiden on yielding ground; despite racing a bit keenly and a couple of mistakes, made a satisfactory introduction to hurdling when chasing home a wide-margin winner at Down Royal; did not seem to improve much at Gowran though not beaten far in third; tongue-tie and cheekpieces now.

Spotlight: Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Abingworth (hurdle/chase), Sangiovese (hurdle/chase) and Cover Point (French Flat); dam useful 2m-2m5f hurdle winner; stamina in the pedigree; picked up useful experience when third in a hurdle race at Clairefontaine in July; winner followed up at Auteuil and has more recently finished second in a Grade 2 chase.

Spotlight: Won a 6f Flat maiden on soft at the Curragh in March for Jim Bolger; mostly campaigned at 1m2f since joining Joseph O'Brien and has run well in defeat; rated 87 on the Flat; a bit keen when beaten 15l in fifth on last Sunday's hurdles debut at Navan; should be better for the experience.

Spotlight: First foal; dam French middle-distance AQPS Flat winner, half-sister to prolific hurdle/chase winner Dindin; finished second to a hot favourite on the second of two middle-distance runs in France in the spring; acted on soft; interesting recruit to a top stable.

Spotlight: Looked like a tricky ride (hung badly left on the turn after the fourth flight) when pulled up the Cork academy hurdle won by Quinta Do Lago; hooded now.

Spotlight: An 80-rated Flat maiden; best efforts came in cheekpieces; goes without them here, as was the case when down the field at 33-1 on his hurdling debut at Navan last Sunday; held by fifth-placed Glen To Glen.

Spotlight: Tenth foal; closely related to trainer's hurdle/chase winner Neveradullmoment, also half-sister to two other multiple winners for the stable; was beginning to feel the pinch when falling three out at Gowran early this month on debut.

Spotlight: Won on the Flat for Richard Fahey at Wetherby (1m, good-to-firm); makes Irish/hurdles debut; the ground might be against her.

Spotlight: Won a middle-distance claimer for Noel Meade; well held in two handicaps for current yard; pulled up at Down Royal on hurdles debut.

Spotlight: Failed to make much impact in two starts on the Flat; 7lb claimer up for hurdling debut.

Spotlight: Well beaten at this venue on Flat debut; similar in a maiden hurdle at Cork.

Spotlight: Is 0-6 on the Flat, rated 61; huge price when in rear at Navan last Sunday, can be ruled out.

Spotlight: Low-rated Flat maiden; beaten almost 40l in eighth on hurdling debut at Gowran.

Spotlight: Flat winner in Britain at a modest level; beaten more than 30l in two starts over hurdles for this stable.
