Spotlight Former Thyestes and Troytown winner won this race on testing ground last season; had excuses on his last start over these fences and while he isn't as good as he once was, he should be thereabouts returned to this discipline.

Spotlight A 95 rated chaser but has run much better than that mark on her last two starts in this sphere; beaten just 2.75l here by Stumptown in November and ran a blinder off 133 at Cheltenham in December; should go well.

Spotlight C&D winner; had Coko Beach and Enjoy d'Allen just behind when third in the Risk Of Thunder here in November; ran well over hurdles on latest but he may need better ground than this.

Spotlight Won a big pot at the DRF in 2023; ran okay on his first try in a Cross Country race at Cheltenham (29.5f, soft) on latest but was still beaten 17l; very testing ground would be a worry; each-way chance if the track dries out.

Spotlight Grade 1 winning hurdler and also won a Grade 2 novice chase here in November 2021, his last win; not disgraced on his first two cross country starts here and at Cheltenham; the first time blinkers need to eke out a bit more.

Spotlight Fine effort when third in the Munster National in October; soft ground probably not ideal for his cross country debut at Cheltenham and it could be a similar story here.

Spotlight Won here over the banks in a hunter chase in April; was still in contention when unseating here a month later; last sighted finishing second in a point-to-point 71 days ago; clearly likes this course and he can't be discounted.

Spotlight Two-time chase winner but his last win came in January 2021; has form figures of 56544 over the banks at this venue; needs more to hit the frame.

Spotlight Has lost his form since winning the Munster National at Limerick in October 2023; pulled up three times in a row subsequently and was beaten 55l on his return to action at Navan in November; switch to the banks needs to spark a revival.

Spotlight Won the Thyestes Chase in 2022; without a win since March 2023; finished a remote fifth over the banks here in May; pulled up on his last start in a point-to-point in November; hard to make a case for on recent form.

Spotlight Point-to-point winner on good ground; pulled up on latest start in that sphere on soft; placed in a bumper on sole start for Harry Kelly; trainer does well in these contests but the testing conditions and his lack of experience are both concerns; best watched.

Spotlight Talented on his day but hasn't produced his best for some time; pulled up in his last two starts in point-to-points; can only be watched on his Cross Country debut.

Spotlight Failed to complete in three of last four starts for Gordon Elliott; beaten 20l in a point-to-point on his first run for Peter Maher last month; others hold more pressing claims.

Spotlight Bumper, hurdle and chase winner on good-good to yielding ground; out of form for some time and was beaten 18.5l on his first run for this yard over hurdles here on New Year's Eve; best watched in first-time tongue tie on cross country debut.

Spotlight First reserve; off the mark at the eighth attempt in point-to-points at Boulta in November for Peter Croke; well beaten in three maiden hurdles last summer; may need better ground than this; best watched on banks debut for new yard.

Spotlight Has won twice over fences but has struggled since returning from a 587 day layoff; impossible to make a case for on his banks debut.

Spotlight Winning hurdler is 0-11 in chases; well beaten over the banks here in November; finished fourth off 90 in a handicap chase at Tramore on latest but was beaten 40l; in good hands but looks an unlikely winner.
