Spotlight: Point winner failed to win over hurdles, though some decent efforts; ran well in a pair of handicap chases at the Galway festival; up 5lb and should be a player for a yard in fine form.

Spotlight: Posted two chase wins last year up to 2m7f; solid runner-up at Killarney last time and can run well again up 2lb with Cobden taking over.

Spotlight: Won this race last year off 5lb lower, just getting up late; has mostly run over hurdles since and some decent efforts; unlucky to unseat back over fences at Killarney last time and can be a big player.

Spotlight: Hurdle winner earlier in the year got off the mark over fences at Tramore in April over 2m5.5f; up 6lb but has a chance with a repeat; ground-versatile.

Spotlight: Got off the mark over fences at Thurles last November; ran well at Wexford and Galway six days apart in July; was going well again when falling at Ballinrobe since; chance.

Spotlight: Second reserve; Clonmel handicap hurdle winner on soft ground in March; third over hurdles here two days ago; this is a tough race to make chasing bow.
