Spotlight: Returned from a 493-day absence over 7f at the Curragh when comfortably winning a 23-runner contest (soft to heavy); almost followed up off 15lb higher back there next time, when hampered before finishing strongly to lose out by a head; up another 3lb, but he's thriving and a definite chance if handling this better ground and step up in trip.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; career-best form since November features two wins at Dundalk and a fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire; better again in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time when a runner-up off 1lb lower (1m, good to soft); big chance with ground to suit.

Spotlight: Led, was headed, but then rallied for a 0.5l third of 16 at Limerick (1m, yielding); 1-24 strike rate is not a great return but has placed on many occasions; should go well again off 1lb higher, but this ground may not suit.

Spotlight: 0-14 but has gone close at times; good run from a wide draw in a 7f Leopardstown (yielding to soft) contest, staying on well; another positive effort when third in a Limerick maiden in this headgear latest (1m, yielding); slowly away that day so effort can be marked up; not out of it.

Spotlight: Best runs last year came in a valuable Leopardstown handicap (1m1f, good to firm) when second in first-time cheekpieces, and when a close sixth at the Curragh next time in the same headgear; form regressed when headgear left off in two runs afterwards and it doesn't appear here.

Spotlight: Added second turf win when keeping on well to comfortably land a 1m Leopardstown handicap on seasonal return (1m, good to yielding); follow-up attempt under a 7lb penalty perhaps came too quickly on softer ground; up 10lb compared to her win but not discounted.

Spotlight: Navan maiden winner over 5f on soft in October; returned this term in fine form, runner-up at the Curragh over 6f before going one better at Leopardstown over 7f (yielding to soft); struggled off revised mark at Gowran last time; needs to resume progress.

Spotlight: Cork maiden winner (7f, good) last season went on to take third of eight in a Leopardstown Group 3 next time (7f, good); ran to her rating when seventh of 20 in a Leopardstown handicap on her final start last term (1m, good to yielding); needs a bit more.

Spotlight: Got first career win with a comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW since, but he has some decent turf form and could go well back on this surface.

Spotlight: One of two for trainer; lightly-raced 4yo didn't race at two; won twice in a five-race career for Dermot Weld last season; won a 1m Cork maiden and the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh (1m, good to yielding) off 3lb lower after a three-month absence; way below that in final start at the Curragh; runs well fresh, so not out of it on stable debut.

Spotlight: Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely.

Spotlight: Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one.

Spotlight: Added her fourth handicap win over 10.5f here in October off 63 (yielding); decent fourth in a higher grade next time at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) but disappointed at the Curragh on her final start of 2025; out of her depth on return at Cork; this more realistic but others preferred.
