Spotlight: Ballinrobe bumper winner has gone close in two similar events when losing by 0.5l both times on good ground; finished in front of Lark In The Mornin here in June when running on well and 4lb better off now; looks the pick of the stable's three runners.

Spotlight: Winner on Flat debut here in 2022 over a mile; best known for winning 2024 Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, heavy); poor in runs following that until a close third here back on Flat in June (1m5f, good) when Sorrentino finished in front by a neck; won amateur race at Bellewstown latest (1m4f, good); leading contender who likes it here.

Spotlight: Smart staying hurdler, winning 3m Doncaster Grade 2 mares' event last season and ended campaign with Grade 1 placings at both Aintree and Punchestown; won 1m4f Curragh maiden last Autumn on first Flat run; unfancied and always behind in a Galway festival Listed event earlier this month; may do better with that run under her belt.

Spotlight: Lightly-raced 7yo was sent off at odds on for this race in 2023 but could only manage a 3.25l second; returned from a 228 day break at Navan in May last year to finish a close second on Flat handicap debut; even longer absence to overcome now.

Spotlight: Winner on sole Flat start in a French 1m7f conditions race on very soft ground in 2021; jumping has been his kryptonite in recent chasing starts, including when pulled up in the Galway Plate last time; has been running at about 3m and even ran in the Scottish National, so may be taken off his feet at this trip.

Spotlight: Very lightly raced for his age and took form to a new level when winning valuable handicap hurdle at Haydock in November; Ascot Grade 1 was a bridge too far following that and hasn't been seen since weakening when a faller at Sandown in February; rated 17lb higher over hurdles than Lark In The Mornin but may come on for the run; check the market.

Spotlight: Two-time Flat winner for John and Thady Gosden with a Flat rating of 95 which makes him the highest rated in the field; nonetheless, pulled up on stable debut in Triumph Hurdle and tailed off in Northumberland at Newcastle last time (2m); something to prove now; one of three for trainer.

Spotlight: Last year's winner returns but he is another year older now; his tenth in the Plate at Cheltenham was decent but he was tailed off at Punchestown when last seen and carries top weight.

Spotlight: Progressive last year, culminating in a handicap hurdle success at the Cheltenham November meeting (2m5f, good); questions to answer following some very poor runs since then, including when tailed off when last seen at Punchestown festival; perhaps the break has done him good and got his Cheltenham success after a break.

Spotlight: In good form over hurdles earlier in the year, winning at Down Royal in January before an honourable fifth in a valuable Leopardstown handicap in February; bagged third hurdling win when taking a Punchestown festival auction race (2m3f, yielding); would need career best.

Spotlight: Gained third win over timber in a Listed hurdle against her own sex at Killarney in May (2m1f, yielding); struggled in a Tipperary Grade 3 hurdle following that before a decent showing in a valuable Galway festival handicap hurdle last time (2m6f, good); trip versatile but a fair bit to find.

Spotlight: Hurdles rating of 113 leaves him with a lot to find in this company; tailed off in a Thurles conditions hurdle in March and not much better in two most recent handicap chase starts; exceedingly unlikely.

Spotlight: Sole win came on AW in 2018 but has some placed form at stakes level which also came the year of his win; didn't show much to recommend him in five runs for Cathy O'Leary and makes return for new stable after more than a year off; trainer also runs Hamsiyann.

Spotlight: Out of his depth at this level with a Flat rating of 43; finished over 10l behind Lark In The Mornin and Sorrentino here in June.
