Spotlight :
Came good over hurdles in 15-runner C&D handicap (good to soft) in November and readily doubled his tally in another big field at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; might still be improving; respected.

Spotlight :
Led close home to open account at Exeter (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October and was placed in higher-grade company on next two outings (2m3f/2m); returns to Class 5 today and ought to be in the shake-up.

Spotlight :
Low-mileage mare who battled on well for third on last month's handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good to soft); remains unexposed and could quite plausibly be seen to better effect over this longer trip; shortlisted.

Spotlight :
2-5 for Robbie Llewellyn towards end of last season, the wins gained at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) and Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy); may yet have more to offer for this stable but has fitness to prove after nine-month layoff.

Spotlight :
Made the frame in two bumpers last spring and also displayed promise in 2m maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn; needs improvement on this handicap debut but the longer trip ought to suit and Sean Bowen is booked.

Spotlight :
Won three times on the Flat last spring but was just a respectable sixth when back over hurdles here (2m, good) last month and, although this longer trip may suit him better, others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight :
0-11 over hurdles but started off for Tom Lacey with two very respectable runs in the autumn (2m/2m5f) and Cameron Iles claims a very useful 7lb here; can feature if refitted visor has any positive effect.

Spotlight :
Showed only minor promise in his three qualifying runs in 2023 (1m7f-2m3f) and makes handicap debut after a long absence but remains very unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting.

Spotlight :
Won on bumper debut in 2023 but has not shown a great deal over hurdles; unable to justify prominence in the betting when beaten about 40l on last month's handicap debut (2m1f) and arrives here with quite a bit to prove.

Spotlight :
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was safely held over C&D (good to soft) on handicap debut in November and struggled (albeit on soft ground) at Uttoxeter last month; significant improvement required.

Spotlight :
Made winning handicap debut off today's mark over C&D (soft) last February but was pulled up on all three subsequent outings (cheekpieces added last time) and can't be supported with any confidence at present.

Ex-Irish maiden; not disgraced on any of her three starts for Daisy Hitchins towards end of last year (2m3f-3m) but needs to up her game here; sports first-time hood; tongue-tie removed.

Spotlight :
Won twice here during 2021-22 season (2m3f/3m) but returned from mammoth absence with heavy defeat here (3m, good) last month and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains.

Posted career-best performance when winning easily over C&D (soft) for Mitchell Hunt last season but has lost her way a bit since (last two runs were for Kevin Bishop) and younger rivals have more persuasive profiles.
