Spotlight: Promising debut when second in a point at Portrush last October; made a good impression when landing a traditionally strong bumper at Leopardstown in December; thoroughly lived up to expectations when becoming the tenth consecutive Irish-trained winner of the Champion Bumper, staying on strongly after leading under Colin Keane a furlong down; sets the standard.

Spotlight: Dam French hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to Prix du Cadran winner and Ascot Gold Cup third, Le Miracle; runaway winner of a heavy-ground Gowran bumper on debut on the eve of the Cheltenham Festival; would not have been out of place in that event if he had made it to the track earlier; gets a vote of confidence from Patrick Mullins.

Spotlight: Bought for E120,000 after finishing second in a point; stepped up from C&D debut to record an emphatic win at Down Royal's Christmas meeting; had a tongue-tie added for the Grade 1 bumper at Cheltenham and reacted well to take fourth (second-best of the Irish) behind The Mourne Rambler; capable of making his presence felt.

Spotlight: Showed promise when third in a 17-runner bumper at Aintree last May for Jack Teal; bought for £170,000 at Goffs UK sale five days later; reappeared at Navan in January, chasing home odds-on winner The Irish Avatar (same ownership); showed the benefit of the run when a 10l winner at Naas in February; seems ground-versatile.

Spotlight: Went close over C&D last season on his only start for Pat Doyle; battled well for a narrow success at Fairyhouse in January; emerged from the Champion Bumper with more credit than several shorter-priced stablemates; stayed on from an unpromising position to finish seventh, only a neck behind Quiryn, who was best of the Mullins squad.

Spotlight: Point winner for Ger Quinn at Loughanmore a year ago; bolted up by 24l from dual points winner Largy Star on heavy ground at Naas in January on debut for Willie Mullins; sent off joint-favourite at Cheltenham, failed to cope with ground officially described as good, and dropped away to finish 17l behind The Mourne Rambler.

Spotlight: Changed hands for £200,000 after finishing second in a point for Colin Bowe last April; reappeared in January for an all-the-way 9l victory on soft-to-heavy at Navan, form franked by the runner-up Low Kick in winning by 10l at Naas; only fourth-best for the stable in an untypically tame challenge at Cheltenham; probably capable of much better.

Spotlight: Half-brother to bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Barnahash Primrose; dam bumper/2m6f Grade 3 hurdle winner; looked like a horse with a future over jumps when making a winning debut at Cork early in the month; faces a big step up in class now

Spotlight: Point winner last season, won five-runner Fairyhouse bumper in January; finished well when narrowly failing to reel in stablemate Broadway Ted in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown; finished in mid-division at Cheltenham.

Spotlight: Huge price at Cheltenham, lost all chance when the saddle slipped early; ridden by Patrick Mullins on all three Irish starts; enterprisingly-ridden very wide to win at Limerick.
