Eyecatcher

Isolate (2.20 Huntingdon)

Ace Tipster

Spruced Up (3.35 Leopardstown)

Speed figures

Isolate (2.20 Huntingdon)

Promising runner-up on his hurdling debut at Doncaster last month and looks poised to open his account.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Eceparti (4.20 Sedgefield)

Failed to land hat-trick at Chepstow but still ran well and again when second at Fakenham. Up 2lb but has Hugh Nugent's claim back and both British wins were for this jockey.

Dark horse

Canelo (3.55 Huntingdon)

Big eyecatcher off a 569-day break in November but things haven't gone to plan since. Alan King's charge drops into a 0-125 for the first time over fences and can build on initial promise.
Josh Down

Irish angle

Poker Party (4.40 Leopardstown)

Fourth in the Paddy Power Chase over the course at Christmas, Henry de Bromhead's Kerry National winner can land this event under Rachael Blackmore.
Tony O'Hehir

Must-have stat of the day
