Spotlight :
7yo who has form figures of 231213 since the end of August and his last success came at this track (1m7f, good to soft); held in 4l third when favourite here last month but that was a solid effort after a break and he should be sharper this time; respected.

Spotlight :
0-5 in points and no win in eight starts under rules; well handicapped on his best hurdles form but he's had a couple of falls in his last five starts and was 10l behind Heart Above here last month; others preferred.

Spotlight :
Recorded his third Flat win when scoring at Redcar in November and he made it 3-10 over hurdles with a smooth success at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last month; up 4lb but he's open to more progress in this sphere and is a big player again.

Spotlight :
Won at Lingfield (2m, good) in November on her second stable start and followed up here (1m7f good to soft) in December; flopped in hat-trick bid at Doncaster but she bounced back with big-field second here last month and that was a personal best under Tom Broughton; respected.

Spotlight :
Well handicapped on his close second at Perth (2m, good) in September but he's not made an impact in four subsequent runs and losing run is now up to 16; down the list.

Spotlight :
Dual course winner who is on a dangerous mark but has not been firing since returning after wind surgery in December; now returns to this track but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added.

Spotlight :
Point/bumper winner who landed a Hexham novice (2m, good) in October but has a mixed record since and was only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are more convincing.

Spotlight :
Not the force old on the Flat (useful in his prime) and 0-8 over hurdles, but he's been consistent in this sphere and has run well over an extended 1m7f here (soft/good to soft) in last two starts; each-way claims.

Spotlight :

Spotlight :
Veteran who had a few of today's rival behind him when winning this race last year and he also hit the target in two of his next four starts; has had some struggles this winter but he returned to form with a fair third at Ayr (2m, soft) two weeks ago and is now 4lb lower than for his last success; in the mix for in-form yard.

Spotlight :
Won twice during the winter and was runner-up at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) on his penultimate run but his form slumped at Newcastle (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; needs to bounce back after that but he's been generally reliable in handicaps and should get a decent tow into this race.

Spotlight :
His last three wins have been over fences, the latest at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last August; that was off 3lb higher but he's been disappointing over hurdles in his last two runs and has not won in this sphere since December 2021.
