Spotlight: Fifth foal; half-brother to a middle-distance Flat winner in France; winning dam is a half-sister to useful hurdle winners Viso and Volano; fair third behind the subsequent Grade 1-placed Shannon Maestro at Auteuil last May on his only start for the influential Daniela Mele; obvious contender.

Spotlight: Picked up for only 12,000gns last October despite having won four times for Sir Mark Prescott and having posted RPRs in the 90s; caught the eye when staying on into fifth in a Leopardstown maiden won by stablemate Hardy Stuff.

Spotlight: Ran twice in AQPS races last summer; unseated rider on the first occasion; raced keenly on second outing, led after a couple of furlongs and made the rest for a hard-earned win over a trip just short of 1m4f on good-to-soft; runner-up won over hurdles at Pau on Christmas Eve; beaten favourite when fourth here 12 days ago.

Spotlight: Useful staying handicapper on the Flat (rated 91); won a Galway festival handicap over 1m4f and second over 1m6f at Listowel; did not jump well when 2-1 chance on hurdling debut at Limerick and was dropping away when brought down two out; could be a different proposition with a more fluent round.

Spotlight: Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time; failed to reproduce that form at the same venue on her second start; has almost 10l to find with Berto Ramirez on that running; addition of hood may make a difference.

Spotlight: Placed only once from 12 starts on the Flat; regressive after finishing second in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown as a juvenile; made a satisfactory start over hurdles when fifth of 12 at Fairyhouse a month ago.

Spotlight: 1m6f winner in France (good to soft) and recruited for E110,000euros; let down by his jumping when only 7-2 at Cork; big price at Leopardstown and appears held by Deep Water Bay.

Spotlight: Won a 1m novice for James Ferguson but well beaten in two handicaps for that yard; joined this top stable for 6,500gns; staying on when unseating at the last in the Leopardstown maiden in which his stablemate Deep Water Bay kept on for fifth.

Spotlight: Fifth foal; dam won on the Flat for Jim Bolger, half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Steip Amach and US 1m3f Grade 3 winner Ceisteach.

Spotlight: Fifth foal; half-brother to French Listed hurdle winner Lou Princess; dam twice-raced half-sister to useful French hurdle/chase winner Scarlet Row; worth a look for future reference.

Spotlight: Won at a modest level on AW in Britain; down the field in two maiden hurdles at Cork.

Spotlight: Won two of her seven races for Richard Hannon, both over 1m2f; joined this yard for 13,000gns; big price when down the field in the Leopardstown maiden in which Deep Water Bay took fifth.

Spotlight: Unplaced in five starts on the Flat for John O'Donoghue; bought for E6,000 in November; remote fifth on hurdles debut at Limerick; unlikely to feature.

Spotlight: From a family that has served the stable well; never involved on debut at Leopardstown.

Spotlight: Weak form in four Flat starts for Ger Lyons; always at the back here in the race in which Mino Des Mottes was fourth.
