Spotlight :
Runner-up here (2m6f, good to soft) in December and short-headed at Haydock (2m5f, soft) in January, when clear of the third; also effective on good ground; he's up 5lb since last time but this lightly raced 7yo is in good hands to continue to improve and features prominently in calculations.

Spotlight :
Showed the benefit of wind surgery when getting off the mark at Ayr (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; scored by 11l and this former 3m pointer (placed in that sphere) could be fine now back up in trip; a 9lb rise may not stop him if he can back up that latest performance.

Spotlight :
Well beaten on soft ground on last three starts; has won on such going previously but maybe better ground is preferable and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (2m4f, good) last April; not written off.

Spotlight :
Won two novice hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m3f, good/good to soft) and returned from three-month break with fair second on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; this lightly raced 5yo could have more to offer for his powerful yard and is one to consider.

Spotlight :
Won at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December and continued to run well when upped in trip the next twice (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 6yo holds each-way claims once more.

Won at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last May and now 1lb lower, but hasn't shown enough this year to suggest he's the one to be on today.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced 6yo who won in good style at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and followed up there (2m4f, heavy); up 7lb since last time and likely to be tackling different ground today, but he's clearly progressive and could play a leading role if handling conditions.

Spotlight :
Inconsistent but he won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December and again had something to spare when winning at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; useful on the Flat earlier in his career and there could still be mileage in his mark (up 6lb since last time); on the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Won two handicaps in a row at Sedgefield (2m4f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year before tough Grade 2 task at Doncaster; however, only fifth when back in a handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and needs a bigger performance this afternoon.

Spotlight :
Enjoying a consistent season, going close over C&D (good to soft) in November in this visor and winning at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last month in cheekpieces; up 5lb since last time and a career best is needed, but he has a steadily progressive profile and is entitled to respect.

Spotlight :
10yo who has had an inconsistent season but he's won on the last two occasions he's worn these cheekpieces, which were over C&D (good) last September and under Paddy Barlow at Doncaster (2m5f, good) last Friday; a 4lb rise isn't harsh and he could be firmly involved once more.

Spotlight :
C&D winner who scored at Cartmel (2m6f, soft) last May and went close at Hexham (2m4f, good) next time; however, following a break, he's finished down the field on both outings this year and needs to raise his game.

Point winner who got off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month; however, he's not obviously well treated judged on his previous handicap form.

Spotlight :
Bumped into highly progressive winner when second over C&D (good) in October and won her next two, over C&D (good to soft) and at Newcastle (2m4f, good); only fifth at Musselburgh in late November when last seen but was perhaps ready for a break; no surprise if she bounces back with a bold show.

Spotlight :
He's dropped to a mark 7lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last March and is one to watch in the betting; however, this 10yo has been unable to get competitive across his five starts this season and needs to turn things around; testing ground may be preferable.

He's run some fair races at Newcastle this year but has won just one of his 17 hurdle starts and looks vulnerable in this warm handicap.
