Spotlight: Won in France at three; started brightly for Willie Mullins with wins at this venue and in the 2m Red Mills at Gowran; raised in trip for 3m Aintree Grade 1 and could finish only fifth; again failed to run to expectations in a 2m5f Grade 2 at Sandown.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner; off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles in an informative 2m3f maiden at Naas; reportedly coughing due to kickback after struggling in a Grade 1 at the same venue; much more like it on final start, again at Naas, winning a 2m conditions event with plenty to spare; interesting chasing prospect.

Spotlight: Had shown a decent standard of form before out of his depth in the Supreme Novices'; not beaten far in fourth in a Grade 2 event here in January after a Cork maiden win; promising sort.

Spotlight: Maiden hurdle winner at Leopardstown last Christmas before a distant fourth behind Kopek Des Bordes at the DRF; pulled up in the Turners before signing off with a front-running course win at the festival; stablemate Kitzbuhel looks superior.

Spotlight: Smart in bumpers for Willie Mullins, third to Facile Vega in 2022 Cheltenham Grade 1 event; ran only twice the season before last; won a maiden hurdle at this venue last season despite indifferent jumping; followed up at Navan, rallying well after sprawling on landing over the last.

Spotlight: Progressive novice hurdler in the first half of last season, winning Killarney maiden and 2m4f Listowel novice before 10l runner-up to The Yellow Clay in Grade 3 Navan novice; after 11 months' absence jumped persistently right before unseating at the fifth on chase debut at Gowran; best watched after tame effort at Down Royal.

Spotlight: Dual bumper winner; scrambled home in 2m4f Leopardstown maiden hurdle last Christmas; well held in valuable handicaps, including in 2m5f Martin Pipe won by a stablemate; tongue-tie for the first time.

Spotlight: Maiden hurdle form for Joseph O'Brien included a 15l third to the remarkable Ethical Diamond at this venue; has joined Enda Boler who fits him with a hood; may need to pick up chasing experience.

Spotlight: One of four runners for his owner; 107-rated hurdler whose recent chasing debut suggests he is unlikely to feature.

Spotlight: Bumper winner at Leopardstown's Christmas fixture in 2023; fell three out on hurdling debut in a strong maiden at Leopardstown last Christmas; unable to make his presence felt in a festival bumper in May.

Spotlight: Hurdles form not strong enough to suggest a serious chance in this company; down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan last Sunday.

Spotlight: Half-brother to Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin; course 2m maiden hurdle winner last season and ended campaign with creditable third in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap; 50-1 pulled up on chase debut at Navan on Monday.

Spotlight: Won only once from 14 starts over hurdles; jumping issues have been evident in his two races over fences.

Spotlight: A 128-rated hurdler; ran only once more last season after winning 2m4f Brown Lad at Naas; down the field on chasing debut at the same venue.
