Spotlight: Harzand half-sister to bumper winners Shantou's Melody and Glens Lullaby; dam smart bumper (at this meeting) and 2m2f-2m6f hurdle winner, sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Glens Harmony; created good impression on last month's Navan debut, patiently ridden and readily going away from favourite final furlong (soft); Patrick Mullins stays loyal and likely major player.

Spotlight: Half-sister to useful bumper and 2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner The Enabler; fell when having the race at her mercy in Dromahane point-to-point in December and debuted for champion trainer with decisive Limerick bumper success last month (first two well clear); nice prospect who could well play a role if handling quicker conditions.

Spotlight: Half-sister to useful 2m/2m1f hurdle winner After Rain and French bumper winner Ultramaille; dam French 2m2f chase winner; had Goulmichette back in third when making winning Ayr debut in February for Nicky Richards, readily picking up that free-running rival a furlong out, despite looking green; has since joined top yard and interesting addition to its very strong challenge here.

Spotlight: Half-sister to bumper winner and smart hurdler/chaser Meetingofthewaters; some promise first two bumpers but much improved to land Fairyhouse mares' Listed event early this month, coming off strong pace to win going away from Wonderful Everyday and Some Pretender on yielding-to-soft; quicker ground here but definite player if handling it.

Spotlight: Surprise winner of Navan academy hurdle (soft) in December and improved markedly from bumper debut for wins at Naas and Limerick (Listed) under hold-up rides in testing conditions with hood fitted; has a tidy turn of foot and quicker ground could see her in an even better light.

Spotlight: Brings good bit of experience to the table, having won mares' bumpers at Thurles and Naas under forcing tactics; seemingly exposed under similar tactics at Aintree recently, but would be a dangerous one to give a soft lead to.

Spotlight: Half-sister to bumper winner Katie Connell; debut runner-up at this meeting last year and has returned this season to win mares' Listed bumpers at Listowel and Cheltenham, each time made plenty of use of; too keen and pulled up in Grade 2 mares' event at the DRF and has been given a break since; not out of it if settling.

Spotlight: Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo; runner-up on Galway debut last season and returned to win at Sligo last summer (good) before returning to Galway at the festival when finishing a clear second to the smart Murat; absent again since but clearly goes well fresh and top amateur rider booked.

Spotlight: Sister to useful 2m3f-3m4f hurdle/chase winner Born Braver among others; won Belharbour mares' maiden point-to-point on debut in February and followed up early this month in Cork pointers' bumper, needing every yard to get up close home (yielding) to beat Tintara; will appreciate a truly-run race.

Spotlight: Ran away with Quakerstown point-to-point last season before fetching 170,000euros at this meeting; reappeared when turned over at long-odds on in Ayr mares' bumper in February, not getting home after pulling herself into clear early lead (third to now stablemate Latosca Du Houx); given a break since and hood now fitted.

Spotlight: Useful level of form earlier in the season for Cormac Farrell, running away with Galway mares' event (good-to-yielding) and clear second to an odds-on shot in Gowran mares' Listed contest (soft); returns from 9 months' absence for new yard with hood fitted.

Spotlight: Did well to beat the geldings on debut in Goffs Defender Bumper at this meeting last year (yielding), but had run nowhere near that level on softer ground until much more encouraging effort at Fairyhouse early this month when staying-on second to Belladaball in mares' Listed contest (yielding-to-soft); same terms here so more needed, but better ground to suit.

Spotlight: Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good) and solid runs in defeat in three outings since without really progressing, most recently making most when third to Belladaball (Wonderful Everyday second) in Fairyhouse mares' Listed contest early this month; looking exposed and hard to see her reversing that form on same terms.

Spotlight: Half-sister to winners, notably Tombstone (smart bumper and 2m-2m3f hurdler/chaser) and Tintangle (useful bumper and 2m-2m2f hurdler/chaser); fell in her first two point-to-points; bought for 55,000GBP after a second-place finish in a mares' maiden at Ballycrystal and only outpointed close home by Born Believing on Cork bumper debut early this month; this looks a lot stiffer task.

Spotlight: Dead-heated in a point in 2024, her sole start in that sphere; beaten 18l behind Kiltybo on bumper debut at Naas last month so lots to find; tongue-tie fitted.

Spotlight: Sister to bumper winner and decent 2m4f novice hurdle winner Frankie John; plenty keen on last month's debut when a remote third to Even Tho at Limerick; has ability but hard to see her reversing that form.
