Spotlight: Was gaining a second C&D win when getting up on post late last month to win a shade snugly, landing a gamble in the process on first AW run since winning this time last year off 65; 6lb rise still leaves him on a competitive mark and should go well from a decent draw.

Spotlight: C&D winner also won over 1m4f for Kevin Coleman; claimed here in November and just denied in similar C&D event last week by a strong favourite from a similar draw, splitting two more highly-rated rivals; usual cheekpieces left off last week now refitted; up 3lb but can go well.

Spotlight: Multiple C&D winner is back down to a competitive mark, most recently chasing home a clear-cut winner over C&D last month; should again be thereabouts although vulnerable nowadays.

Spotlight: C&D winner in July off 3lb lower and best run since came in similar event on latest when close third off 61; bit more needed but should be thereabouts.

Spotlight: Maiden with plenty of placings, including second to Benavente here over 1m4f, most recently quite keen in claimer last month (1m2f); drops in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Losing run goes back more than two years but ran well over this trip at Leopardstown over the summer and good third here last month over 1m2f under positive ride; tame finishing effort over C&D a fortnight ago so more needed (good draw).

Spotlight: Dual C&D winner last winter; recent turf form below par, usual cheekpieces back on today for AW return.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo didn't appear to stay 1m2f here last time; back in trip for handicap debut and potential improver but needs to off this opening mark.

Spotlight: Two wins (both on good) for the late Edward O'Grady; made a bright start for this stable when fifth at Listowel but didn't get home in testing conditions last time (1m2f); back in trip here on AW return, don't rule out.

Spotlight: First reserve; dual C&D winner and just denied in this race last year off 1lb lower; needs to improve on recent turf form.

Spotlight: Won here over 6f back in March and third career win over same trip at Navan last month; safely held off this 8lb higher mark here a fortnight ago; tries this trip for the first time on AW.

Spotlight: Second reserve; two AW wins in Britain early this year at 7f; two poor Galway efforts for current yard on unsuitably testing ground (veterinary excuses latest); wide draw here.

Spotlight: Dual C&D winner also won over 1m2f at Navan in April; never counted after slow start over C&D last time so needs to improve plenty; good draw.

Spotlight: Lightly raced maiden on turf never counted at Navan last time over this trip; bad draw for AW debut so others preferred.

Spotlight: Third reserve; three wins here at 6f-8f; recent turf form none too encouraging.

Spotlight: Eight-time AW winner including this race in 2023 and twice earlier this year; stumbled leaving stalls when last here last week but that run best ignored; prominent racer and has a good draw.

Spotlight: Dual C&D winner was having his first run here for a while when dropping away tamely over this trip last month following a short break; better for that but wide draw here a negative and others preferred.
