Spotlight: Top-rated of the four holding a mark; ran on well to take third in a Punchestown handicap hurdle in April (2m3f, yielding); stepped up in trip and denied by a nose when slightly hampered at the last fence back at that track last time (2m7f, good to yielding); the trip of this race is up his alley.

Spotlight: Rated 113; Fairyhouse bumper winner last November; looked short of pace when 10l third over 3m1f at Tipperary and last time when 2.5l second at Punchestown (2m7f); possibilities back up in trip

Spotlight: Made all in a maiden hurdle at this track last October but subsequently disqualified for a banned substance (2m4f, yielding); returned to form following a pair of underwhelming runs when a 3.75l third at Cork in May; interesting contender.

Spotlight: Did well to win a bumper here in May when coming from behind quickening rivals (2m4f, good); makes hurdling debut here but one for the shortlist

Spotlight: Winner of sole point-to-point; good effort in a strong Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in December when fourth; needs to bounce back from a tired fall in a Punchestown beginner's chase last time.

Spotlight: 6l Punchestown point winner last year; backed into favouritism on return from 464-day absence at Listowel last month but beaten 127l; can improve but questions to answer

Spotlight: Rated 108; bumper winner was placed in his first three maiden hurdles in soft conditions; pulled up at Gowran on return from a 427-day absence (3m, soft to heavy); made little impression in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, heavy); others preferred

Spotlight: Second reserve; well beaten in sole point start in April last year, that doesn't provide a lot of hope here.

Spotlight: Makes rules debut following some placed finishes in maiden point-to-points; best of those was last time when a 3.75l third; likely to find this too hot.

Spotlight: 108 rated hurdler; best maiden start was a 0.5l second at Kilbeggan in 2023; returns to this sphere following some underwhelming chase runs; hurdles need to spark a revival.

Spotlight: Makes rules debut; has only completed two of five point starts but the best of those was last time when a distant second; unlikely to feature

Spotlight: First reserve; 1-9 in points; pulled up in a Tipperary hunters' chase last time; has failed to make much impact in his forays into rules races.

Spotlight: Third reserve; dam bumper winner/placed 1m4f-2m Flat and 2m hurdles, out of sister to smart bumper/2m4f-3m2f jump winner Mighty Moss; probably best watched

Spotlight: Beaten a long way in Cork debut in May; small improvement later that month at Listowel; a lot to find.

Spotlight: Runner up in two most recent points but beaten 81l when stepped into maiden hurdle company at Punchestown last time; passed over.

Spotlight: Point winner but well beaten in a hunter's chase in March and same story in a Sligo maiden hurdle last month; tongue tie added to cheekpieces but hard to fancy

Spotlight: No impression in bumpers or maiden hurdle starts; might be one for handicaps.
