Spotlight :
Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt.

Spotlight :
Tapped back into his bumper promise when winning readily in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December and he followed up under a penalty at Ayr (also 2m4.5f, soft; cheekpieces retained) one week later; unraced since but unexposed and he was progressing when last seen.

Spotlight :
0-6 under rules; best effort when third of eight on handicap debut here (2m6f, soft) on his penultimate start, but still finished 18l behind the winner; more needed on this drop back in trip.

Spotlight :
Tongue tied last three starts; moved back up in trip and away from soft/heavy ground when second on handicap debut at Huntingdon in March but beaten 42l in cheekpieces at Market Rasen (also on good over 2m5f) a fortnight later; blinkers today and it's difficult to know what to expect.

Spotlight :
Improved when fifth at Newbury (2m, soft; 200-1) on the second of three starts over hurdles; didn't match that when just 5-1 at Southwell (2m, good to soft) latest but now goes handicapping; no surprise to see him go well.

Spotlight :
Won a C&D novice (good) in October 2022 but he struggled in a chase and seven hurdle races last year, trying headgear on last three starts; very well handicapped now and if the 130-day break has perked him up he'd be a huge danger; watch the market.

Spotlight :
Third in an Irish bumper but beaten at least 22l in all five British hurdles races, including over C&D (good to soft; Decorated second) two starts back; 2m7f looked to stretch him last time.

Spotlight :
Blinkered third in handicaps at Lingfield (2m in the mud) on last two starts, given a more forward ride on first occasion but failing to back that up in small field the following month; has a query on the ground but yard was 2-2 in April before today and he's not fully exposed.
