Spotlight :
Low-mileage 6yo who came second in his first two handicaps, latterly at Haydock (1m7f, soft) just after Christmas; open to improvement if last month's wind op proves successful; one to consider.

Spotlight :
Unexposed 6yo who held on to make winning handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and Bradley Harris claims a useful 3lb; open to further progress; respected.

Spotlight :
Just 1-13 over hurdles but was arguably second best on merit when third behind short-odds winner over C&D (soft) on seasonal debut in December and remains on a good mark; might be the answer.

Spotlight :
Unexposed mare who displayed promise in bumpers last season and in her three qualifying races over hurdles towards the end of 2024 (2m-2m5f); no surprise if she features on this handicap debut.

Spotlight :
Kept on well to win in first-time cheekpieces here (2m3f, soft) in December but was a disappointing joint-favourite at Uttoxeter (2m4f) last month and it's hard to tell whether combination of drop back in trip and first-time blinkers will get the best out of him today.

Spotlight :
Below form at Kelso in December but came second on three of her four previous outings (once over C&D) and can pose a potent threat if the addition of cheekpieces has a positive effect today.

|
Spotlight :
Nine jumps wins (three over C&D); not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in October but last month's modest fourth behind The Grey Man at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) was a step back in the right direction and he's too well handicapped to rule out.

Ex-French maiden; soundly beaten in three British handicap hurdles this season (2m-2m5f) but there is still hope Venetia Williams will find the key to him soon.

Spotlight :
Career highlight when finishing well from a long way off the pace to cause 40-1 surprise at last season's Aintree festival (2m, soft); probably flattered by the way that race panned out, though, and returned from layoff with two disappointing 2m4f runs this winter; usual hood left off.

Spotlight :
2-14 over hurdles, the latter win gained in Plumpton novice (2m, good to soft) in October; not obviously well treated off current mark, though, and far too inconsistent to rely upon.

Getting long on the tooth now and returned from a break with two low-key runs towards the end of last year; now only 1lb above last spring's winning mark but younger rivals have less to prove.

Spotlight :
Won 3m hurdle off much higher mark in 2022 but has looked out of sorts since returned to racing under rules in November (three runs; 2m3f-3m1f); drops back to 2m here; considered only if lively in the betting.
