Lot Of Joy

12.00 Leopardstown: Savills Maiden Hurdle

The horse who beat her on her hurdling debut, Inothewayurthinkin, has won again since. She receives 7lb from her main market rivals and she is the one to beat based on that promising introduction.

Spotlight verdict: classy Flat stayer and she probably bumped into a smart one on her hurdling debut

Result: 3rd, 6-5f

Shanbally Kid

12.20 Limerick: Keith Lynch Memorial Maiden Hurdle

Made it second-time lucky in bumpers with a dominant success at Clonmel in April. He subsequently joined Gigginstown and Willie Mullins and the second boosted the form by winning on hurdling debut, giving him excellent claims in this.

Spotlight verdict:impressive in Clonmel bumper when last seen; improvement likely on yard debut

Result: 4th, 11-10f

Seabank Bistro

12.55 Limerick: CUBE Maiden Hurdle

Posted a peak RPR of 130 in bumpers but pulled too hard when beaten at odds of 4-6 on hurdling debut at Punchestown in November. Possesses the strongest form and should get off the mark, however.

Spotlight verdict:4-6, faded a little on hurdling debut at Punchestown but that was still promising; can win

Result: 2nd, 8-11f

Allegorie De Vassy

1.30 Limerick: Dawn Run Mares Novice Chase (Grade 2)

Unbeaten in two starts for Mullins last season, including a Grade 3 win at Fairyhouse over subsequent Grade 1 winner Brandy Love. She has much the best form but does have a 333-day break to overcome and she lacks chasing experience.

Spotlight verdict:won Grade 3 novice hurdle latest; may be hard to beat if she takes to fences; off 333 days

Result: 1st, 1-2f

I Am Maximus

2.55 Leopardstown: Ballymaloe Relish Beginners Chase

Previously trained by Nicky Henderson, he was beaten a short head on his stable and chase debut at Fairyhouse this month. The winner was a smart hurdler with chasing experience and that form can be upgraded. He now dons cheekpieces and is the right favourite, but Gentlemansgame will be a massive threat should he take to fences.

Spotlight verdict:developed into high-class hurdler, ending last season with easy win and fine Grade 1 third

Star rating:***

Ile Atlantique

3.30 Leopardstown: Midland Legal Solicitors Flat Race

Finished third on his hurdling debut at Auteuil in April, weakening late on after taking over going well approaching the third-last. That form does not look particularly strong but Mullins' French recruits must be feared.

Spotlight verdict:seemed to run very nice race in four-year-old hurdle at Auteuil at huge odds in April; top yard

Star rating:***

Chosen Witness

3.45 Limerick: Woodlands House Hotel Adare Flat Race

Comes from a top family and dead-heated in a Ballinaboola point-to-point in February. The yard also runs Dysart Dasher, a son of Flemensfirth who is a half-brother to Dysart Diamond and Dysart Dynamo, which makes him an uneasy favourite.

Spotlight verdict:dam won 2m4f bumper; dead-heat winner in a divided five-year-old maiden in February; top yard

Star rating:***
