Spotlight :
Pulled up on last month's handicap debut but ran well for a long way before fading into third here (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago and has possibilities if this less taxing trip-and-ground combination suits.

Spotlight :
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, with clearcut win under Conor Ring at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January; subsequent 5lb rise does not look excessive and he may not have been suited by the return to 2m4f when slightly below form last time; contender if he handles this faster ground.

Spotlight :
Yet to hit top gear after three runs for current stable but caught the eye making smooth headway from a long way off the pace at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month and has slipped to a tempting mark; interesting.

Spotlight :
Well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with quite encouraging 2m4f run in January but Newbury last month was disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this drop back in trip; seems versatile regarding ground, though.

Spotlight :
Refused to race on penultimate appearance, so is not without risk, but has made the frame three times against own age-group this season (good to soft-heavy) and is open to improvement on this handicap debut.

Spotlight :
Seemed to have career back on track when winning Uttoxeter maiden (2m, soft) in December but was soundly beaten in both subsequent handicaps and now has it all to prove again; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft under rules.

Spotlight :
Ex-French maiden; has not been with Sheila Lewis long and seemed to benefit from combination of switch to good ground and drop to 2m when respectable fifth at Hereford a fortnight ago; now needs to build on that effort.

Spotlight :
Six-time hurdle winner (once over C&D) who is very well suited by good ground; has fitness to prove after five-month absence but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up.

Spotlight :
Very well handicapped on old form for Nicky Henderson but looked badly out of sorts in Ireland in 2023 and has also struggled on all three starts for race-sponsor Alison Thorpe this season (2m4f-3m); drops back in trip today; revival needed.
