Spotlight: Quiet in his maidens but was loud in the market ahead of his handicap debut at Naas (soft to heavy) and duly won with any amount in hand; whacked up 13lb but he's well related and no doubt has a lot more to offer.

Spotlight: It wasn't a strong maiden he won at Thurles (soft/heavy; beat two outsiders) but he did that very easily under positive tactics and he's clearly unexposed ahead of this first handicap; his yard has won the last two renewals.

Spotlight: Fourth of 21 behind the smart Ballyfad in a Leopardstown maiden before winning very easily in a first-time hood (removed) at Limerick (heavy); this well-bred mare is potentially well handicapped despite top weight.

Spotlight: Had plenty of chances before finally coming good in a maiden at Gowran (heavy); that was a weak race for which she went off at odds of 2-9; front-runner who can be keen and making all in this field won't be easy.

Spotlight: Winning pointer; nice run behind the classy Oldschool Outlaw before keeping on well enough to land a maiden at Clonmel (heavy); dangerously unexposed handicap debutant from a leading yard.

Spotlight: 0-7; disappointing favourite at Tramore last time but has had a break since then and his previous seconds in 2m handicaps (in a tongue-tie) need respecting; each-way claims with tongue-tie back on.

Spotlight: Rated 80 on the Flat after three runs; still a maiden after four runs over hurdles but was placed behind respected opposition in the middle two and he has to be interest against older opposition on handicap debut.

Spotlight: Lightly-raced 5yo who raised his game to finish second in a Wexford maiden (soft) and he brings potential off this sort of mark; respected.

Spotlight: Won a point 13 months ago; no closer than 12l in four runs under rules but this gelding will probably be seen in a brighter light sooner or later; market needs checking on handicap debut.

Spotlight: Perhaps won too well at Naas (soft/heavy) as the 9lb rise was surely a factor in his defeat at Thurles, though he still ran okay in fairness; others are more intriguing here.

Spotlight: Point winner; won a maiden at Clonmel and ran well under a penalty at Catterick; has since left Gavin Cromwell; this mark looks no gift for handicap debut; tries a tongue-tie.

Spotlight: Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed.

Spotlight: French bumper winner; beaten between 12l and 23l in his maiden hurdles; he's not obviously well in for this first handicap but it's early days and the potential is there to improve; tongue-tie added.

Spotlight: Won Bellewstown bumper (good to yielding) last April; there's been sufficient promise in his maidens to believe he might be competitive off this sort of mark, though he has been absent for over a year and looks the yard second string on jockey bookings.

Spotlight: Bumper winner; runner-up in three of her four maiden hurdles and she's likeably consistent; whether she's that well handicapped is another matter; hood added.

Spotlight: 1m4f winner; 0-6 as a hurdler but was third off this mark at Christmas and then ran into the smart Proactif here in January; the concern is his ordinary run last time at Down Royal (maiden).

Spotlight: Two respectable Flat runs last month but 0-10 over hurdles and has come up shy in less competitive races than this.

Spotlight: Some promise in bumpers/maidens but offered little on switch to handicaps at Leopardstown (14-1).

Spotlight: Only had two runs over hurdles, last time winning a maiden on good ground at Tramore (first-time hood); good and bad on the Flat since then; lacks jumping experience for a race of this nature.

Spotlight: Hasn't performed badly in either of her handicaps without looking ahead of her mark; this is no easier.

Spotlight: Not beaten far in a Galway bumper on debut but hasn't kicked from that; wouldn't be the obvious answer on handicap debut.

Spotlight: Only 1-6 in points and her 12l maiden hurdle win at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) is very much a standout piece of form over hurdles; others have more pressing claims.
