Spotlight: Outran odds of 18-1 when staying on nicely from the back for a close third at Navan last month (2m, sft-hvy); leading claims if backing up that eye-catching effort.

Spotlight: Promise on debut in a maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, gd-yld) in September; narrowly denied in a Galway bumper a month later (16.5f, yielding); should go well if handling softer ground (mixed messages in pedigree).

Spotlight: Sent off at 7-1 on debut at Thurles and ran a solid race to finish a 2l fourth of 10 (Lennon Grove second); should improve for that initial experience and Patrick Mullins keeps the faith and good chance he'll handle soft ground on breeding; player.

Spotlight: Vendangeur mare ran out an easy winner of a Lisronagh point-to-point (heavy) in February 2024; that form has taken some knocks and she hasn't been seen since but she needs monitoring in the market given her shrewd connections; hooded.

Spotlight: Poet's Word gelding; E16,500 3yo; half-brother to 2m4f/3m hurdle winner Luminaries; dam unplaced bumper/2m hurdle, sister to winners Duke Of Lucca (useful 2m1f-3m1f hurdle/chase) and Boot Camp (2m-2m6f hurdle/chase); market best guide.

Spotlight: Pulled up in a point-to-point in May; better effort when a 1.75l third at Loughrea in October but will likely need much more to make an impact on Rules' debut.

Spotlight: Idaho gelding was a E20,000 3yo; dam unraced half-sister to useful bumper and 2m2f-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Original Option and bumper winner Mutual Respect; appeals on paper and worth checking in the market.

Spotlight: Point-to-point winner ran a nice race on Rules' debut in a Cork bumper in April when a 7.25l fifth; had an excuse when soundly beaten at this venue on latest (finished lame); could bounce back.

Spotlight: Yorgunnbelucky gelding; E12,000 3yo; second foal; dam point and 3m2f/3m3f chase winner; stoutly bred and likely best watched on debut unless the market speaks.

Spotlight: Sent off at 33-1 on debut for a maiden hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, soft) and beat just two rivals home; could do better now switched to a bumper but lots of improvement required.

Spotlight: Pulled up in a Lisronagh point-to-point 44 days ago; hood goes on for Rules' debut; in good hands but likely best watched unless the market speaks.

Spotlight: Valirann gelding; E3,200 3yo; brother to 2m/2m1f hurdle winner Mullins Cross; unraced dam closely related to useful 2m hurdle/chase winner The Duke's Speech; yard gets winners in this sphere so check the market.

Spotlight: Made his debut in March 2024 in a Fairyhouse bumper won by Kopek Des Bordes; was beaten 51l into fifth that day and his absence since is a concern; best watched.

Spotlight: Vadamos gelding is a half-brother to two hurdles winners; pulled up in sole point-to-point at Dromahane last month; best watched.

Spotlight: Vadamos gelding; dam point and 2m/2m2f hurdle winner, closely related to winners Party Central (9.5f/1m4f Flat, Listed bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle) and Our Colossus (2m hurdle); nicely bred but yard 0-10 in bumpers last 5 seasons; watch.
