Spotlight: AW winner in Britain over shorter; better hurdler and strong favourite on Flat return last month over C&D, keeping on third from off the pace; has to be respected off same mark.

Spotlight: Maiden has posted solid C&D efforts this month, allowed uncontested lead until caught late on and then more patiently-ridden (tactics probably overdone) when staying-on fourth behind 50-1 winner Syosset; claimer-ridden of late and Keane now takes over; could make good use of a low draw.

Spotlight: Returned from 183-day absence with promising AW/handicap debut early this month, staying on late in the fog over 1m2f into third; potential improver upped in trip here.

Spotlight: Ended poor run of form with shock 50-1 C&D win a week ago, overcoming wide draw when coming late under today's rider to win going away; 6lb rise seems okay and good chance of backing that up.

Spotlight: Third reserve; good run of recent form here, winning over 1m4f before decent second over this trip; left with plenty to do over 1m2f here on Wednesday when beaten 3l into fifth.

Spotlight: Twice runner-up over C&D last year, second occasion off 65; light campaign this year, taking a wide course when never counting here last month over 1m2f; back to optimum trip here although draw hasn't been kind.

Spotlight: Makes AW debut after running to a similar enough level in opening three handicap starts; more needed.

Spotlight: Winner over this trip at Fairyhouse last year for Sheila Lavery; nothing in three turf runs this year for new yard and tried in a tongue-tie for AW return; handicapper giving her every chance.

Spotlight: Winning hurdler is 0-22 on the Flat, all six previous runs here over much shorter trips; hard to know what to make of his chances here, wide draw certainly not a help.

Spotlight: AW win came at Wolverhampton (7f) three years ago; standout run this year when touched off in 1m5f Down Royal handicap (good), pulled up over hurdles latest; visor replaces cheekpieces here.

Spotlight: Last success was here over 1m2f in February 2023; missed all last year and ordinary form so far in 2025; hard to fancy on recent efforts.

Spotlight: Two wins include 1m2f win here three years ago; little of note in light campaign in recent years; belatedly tried in a tongue-tie here.

Spotlight: 3yo showed improved form when creditable third on her stable and seasonal debut at Wolverhampton in June but unable to build on that twice afterwards, blinkered second occasion; debuts for Daniel McLoughlin here but seems best watched.

Spotlight: Maiden ran well at Navan (1m5f) over the summer but most recent run here in August was poor; hard to fancy.

Spotlight: First reserve; useful form over the summer for previous yard but two recent runs for the yard at this track leave him with lots to find; needs to settle better.

Spotlight: Second reserve; maiden of little account back from hurdling with no apparent chance (3lb wrong).
