Spotlight: 2024 Dewhurst runner-up on soft; highly tried in a three-run campaign last season, which never really took off; seasonal return was much more positive when coming home strongly from off the pace in a Leopardstown Listed contest (1m, yielding to soft) to take the runner-up spot behind a better-fancied stablemate; big player but this better ground is a small concern.

Spotlight: British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated.

Spotlight: Four-time winner at 6f-7f; won just once last season when landing a three-runner auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); subsequently placed in Listed and Group 3 company; built on decent Cork return when running on well for fourth over 5f here last time, from disadvantageous side of the track; this trip suits better and not ruled out.

Spotlight: Sole win last season came in the C&D Madrid handicap; ran a career best when a close second in the Curragh Group 2 Minstrel Stakes (7f, good to yielding) behind subsequent Group 1 winner Diego Velazquez; highly encouraging second in a Curragh Listed contest on return (7f, soft to heavy); however, he runs well fresh so there might not be boundless improvement to come.

Spotlight: Won a 7f Dundalk median auction race on debut in December; 3.25l second in a four-runner Gowran rated race on his return (7f, soft) last month; could step forward on this quicker ground.

Spotlight: Good second in a Navan maiden on seasonal return (1m, heavy); showed the benefit of that run when successful at Cork last time (1m, good to yielding); a bit to find in this company.

Spotlight: Three-time h'cap winner, including over C&D in final 2024 start; ran just three times last season; produced a smart display to win a 7f premier handicap at the Irish Champions meeting; towards rear throughout on comeback in a 7f Curragh Listed contest (soft to heavy); may be better suited by this ground but Tashakour looks like the yard's main hope.

Spotlight: Listed winner at Leopardstown as a 2yo; best of four Group 3 runs last season was when third at Leopardstown in July (7f, good to firm); drops in grade but this looks hard all the same.

Spotlight: Maiden winner over 7f for Joseph O'Brien on soft; ran well over that trip at the Curragh on seasonal/stable debut; poor over 6f at Cork last time; others more likely, especially on this ground.

Spotlight: Boasts useful form at Dundalk, the scene of all four wins; turf has been less lucrative and was beaten 11.5l in a Curragh Group 3 last time (1m2f, soft); others make more appeal.

Spotlight: Some useful form in Britain for Karl Burke before being bought by current connections for 30,000gns; made a good stable debut when a runner-up in a Gowran handicap and improved when filling the same spot dropped to 7f back there next time; those runs were on soft, while her British form is on good, so could improve, but this is a tall task; Greek Mythology is stable first-string.
