Spotlight :
Free-goer who was game in victory at Chepstow (2m, heavy) two runs back and he got competitive a long way out there over 2m3f last time, so that was a good run in the circumstances; likely contender with Harry Cobden booked.

Spotlight :
Won three handicaps at about this distance as a novice and returned to form when second at Newbury four weeks ago; the winner ran well to be third at Cheltenham this week; versatile ground-wise and looks a safer bet than many in here.

Spotlight :
Won at Ascot (2m2f) on his chase debut and then an excellent second of nine in 2m3f handicap at Doncaster; has to bounce back from a poor run last time but that was two months ago; hard to dismiss.

Spotlight :
Only 13 months ago he won off a 2lb lower mark at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) and he could yet turn around what's been a modest season; market confidence would be welcomed, however.

Good fourth at Haydock in December (2m4f, soft; won same race the previous season) and couldn't adopt his favoured front-running tactics next time; respected off what's a good mark.

Spotlight :
Won back-to-back Wetherby handicaps over slightly shorter last season but hasn't hit the same notes this campaign; however, he's back from a break and too well handicapped to ignore.

Spotlight :
In contention when falling late on at Wincanton (3m1f) but that wasn't as deep a race as this; however, this is probably his best trip and he's not badly handicapped.

Spotlight :
Beat none other than Kandoo Kid at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in November 2023 and his two runs after an absence were encouraging; lesser ones have followed, though the latest was in the Kim Muir over a trip of 3m2f he would struggle to stay.

Spotlight :
His fourth to Jagwar at Bangor (2m4f) reads well and he went in next time at Sandown (1m7f, soft); below that level the last twice but he's got the ability to have a say off this mark.

Multiple winner down the years but finished last of three over fences when last seen 13 months ago and that was after a lengthy absence; impossible to know what ability he retains.

Spotlight :
Strike-rate of 1-17 over fences but has kept on to be third in his last two races (3m/2m4f); would prefer further ideally but the new cheekpieces might sharpen him up.
