Spotlight :
Superstar who was hugely impressive in the 2022 Supreme Novices' and 2023 Champion Hurdle, looking one of the modern greats; absent since hammering his rivals in this race 12 months ago (second Christmas Hurdle win) and has been plagued with issues this year, including a bout of colic and lameness, as well as the need for wind surgery; also failed to impress in his latest racecourse gallop, at Newbury last month; however, he sets a tall standard assuming he has overcome those problems and turns up in top form.

Spotlight :
Highly talented mare and an emerging star who has been successful at the last two Cheltenham Festivals; easily brushed aside male rivals in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (yielding) most recently, completing a 2m4f Grade 1 hat-trick and taking record to 9-10; has plenty of speed and should be just as effective back at 2m; current favourite for the Champion Hurdle and commands great respect.

Spotlight :
Has reached a smart level on the Flat this year (easy Listed winner) and took advantage of a handy hurdles mark in the Greatwood at Cheltenham (2m, good; made all) last month; now 3-4 in this sphere (sole defeat occurred behind the exciting Sir Gino); progressive but has plenty to find with the two big guns in this field.

Spotlight :
Improving hurdler who won last season's Dovecote over C&D (soft); useful handicap performance in the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las on reappearance then ran well, albeit no match for the unbeaten Sir Gino, in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle (2m, good); however, on ratings he's a league below the stars in this field.
