Spotlight :
A puzzling run on her handicap debut over C&D two months ago when only 15-2 but she's better than that, having finished runner-up in a point, a bumper and two hurdles; would have each-way claims if getting herself back on track.

Spotlight :
Unable to justify favouritism at Ludlow a month ago (2m5f, good to soft) but he kept on well after hitting a flat spot and it's easy to envisage improvement now he goes over further, especially with him so lightly raced; on the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Plenty of promise in his bumper and a pair of 2m3f maiden hurdles (from soft to good); very interesting now raised in distance on his handicap debut as there's lots of stamina in the pedigree; absent since November so market support would be welcomed.

Spotlight :
Bumper and 2m3f novice winner; staged some sort of a revival in first-time cheekpieces last time at Warwick (3m2f, good) as he might have been second had he not unseated late on; whether he builds on that remains to be seen.

Spotlight :
Beaten 22l into third last time after wind surgery but that was over 2m3f and he was runner-up in this 12 months ago when 5lb higher (for Dan Skelton); if that last run after three months off has brought him on he could be very interesting.

Spotlight :
Still in touch when unseating four out at Ascot last time (2m7f, good; 50-1) but it was still a long way from home; hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified.

Spotlight :
Bumper winner and his maiden win came over 3m; 2m5f looked too sharp two runs back and when returned to further at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) they went no pace; did well in the circumstances to finish second; possible.

Spotlight :
Stays this far so it was an encouraging effort when keeping on for second over 2m4f here recently (soft; has won on good), especially as the winner has since gone on to complete a hat-trick; last time was also a rare appearance without any aids and that's again the case; Ben Bromley is also able to claim this time; feared.

Spotlight :
Cheekpieces back on for his last three races and competitive in two of those, over 2m4f and 3m; however, his profile is notoriously inconsistent and softer ground would be preferable.

He runs well now and again but this exposed 12yo may need an easier opening these days.

Spotlight :
Won his final race in France last May (2m2f, very soft); hard to warm to on what he's shown in Britain, in 2m/2m3f handicaps and a 2m1f novice; reservations for now.

Won two staying handicaps last season on slow ground but this campaign has headed into reverse since an encouraging return; this is no easy race in which to bounce back.

Spotlight :
Point/bumper winner but now 0-6 over hurdles and ran a disappointing final race in the new cheekpieces at Warwick (2m5f, good); he is capable of better and a tongue-tie is now added, but wouldn't be the percentage play.
