Spotlight :
Bought for £110,000 after beating Great Fleet in an Irish point; the front two were clear when winning at Chepstow and he then defied a penalty with ease at Exeter (again soft), albeit at the expense of two outsiders; has delivered useful RPRs and looks a strong contender.

Spotlight :
Defied odds of 80-1 when third in a valuable bumper at Punchestown last April and he looked as though he'd win that until fading late on (had raced keenly); there are mixed messages as to the strength of that form but he's open to any amount of improvement for Paul Nicholls.

Spotlight :
Not easy to gauge what she achieved in winning a 1m6f bumper in France (very soft) but she won by the thick end of 10l and later changed hands for £155,000; the only mare in this field but she's clearly promising.

Spotlight :
Won a 16-runner Listed bumper at Cheltenham (soft) by 2l but they went a steady pace and it didn't look that strong a race despite its status; will almost certainly need more here tackling older opposition.

Spotlight :
First bumper run in Ireland was better than the second; has some scope though and the mare he edged out at Plumpton (good to soft) has gone on to win her next two, beating a subsequent winner before taking a Listed race at Market Rasen; looks to have a bright future.

Spotlight :
Bought for £80,000 after comfortably winning on heavy ground at Uttoxeter for Tom Weston; defied an absence and a penalty on stable debut at Exeter (soft) where he was nicely on top at the finish; can't be underestimated.

Spotlight :
Put in his place by Sober Glory when they clashed in a 3m Irish point and the form of his workmanlike win at Market Rasen (soft) has taken some knocks; he wouldn't be the obvious answer to this.

Spotlight :
80,000euros 3yo; it was a weak three-runner bumper he won at Exeter (good) where he justified prohibitive odds with the minimum of fuss; one of two runners for Paul Nicholls and Freddie Gingell was also aboard last time; completely unexposed.

Spotlight :
Beat a subsequent winner under rules in a point bumper 13 months ago and jumping let him down when pulled up in his next point; presumably held in some regard by his trainer (who won this with the smart Ballyandy a few years ago) to be making rules debut in this company.

Spotlight :
Both bumper runs on soft ground; the form of his Ffos Las win is nothing to get excited about and he came up short under a penalty at Aintree, though did run well; will have to raise his game to threaten the best of these.

Positives to take from his first run at Kempton (soft) but still went off 50-1 for a Listed bumper at Ascot (good to soft) and never threatened to pose much of a challenge; opposable.
