Spotlight :
It looked a matter of time before he would exploit a reduced mark and has duly gone back-to-back over 3m3f at Market Rasen (good to soft) and 2m7f at Huntingdon (good), latterly needing every yard of that trip; respected despite the 6lb rise; tailed off in this two years ago but won here as a hurdler.

Spotlight :
Last win was in the 3m novice handicap on this card 12 months ago (soft) off 8lb lower and returns on the back of a close third over this far at Exeter (heavy); however, all his form is in the mud so conditions are a major concern.

Spotlight :
Won this two years ago off only 3lb lower on his final run for Andrew Hamilton; all the better for his belated reappearance when off the mark for this yard with a 2l success at Newcastle (2m7f, soft; under Alan Doyle); enters the reckoning.

Spotlight :
Ran well in some competitive staying handicap hurdles and was having only his third run over fences when outstaying a small field at Carlisle (3m, good; first-time cheekpieces); just 4lb higher and he promises to stay this far; the least exposed of these.

Spotlight :
Wide-margin winner of last season's Edinburgh National (3m7f, good to soft) and the first-time visor that worked that day now returns after two runs in blinkers; needs a revival but that's not out of the question off a good mark.

Spotlight :
Three-time point winner who is 1-16 under rules and has finished runner-up a few too many times for comfort; he's running well though and this marathon trip is worth a go.

Spotlight :
Has only won one of his 16 chase starts and that was two years ago at this track (3m, good); continues to run well now and again, as when twice runner-up (3m/3m7f) during the winter; handicapper knows all about him but each-way claims if on a good day.

Spotlight :
Assured stayer as it was over 4m when returning to form when second in the first-time blinkers at Hexham (good to soft); this is a higher grade but has won at this level and nothing wrong with her mark.

Spotlight :
Nearly won the Eider two seasons ago and finished fourth in the same race this year; will need to run better than at Kelso (2m7f; effective at that trip) and the first-time tongue-tie tried there remains but now joined by blinkers instead of cheekpieces; strike-rate of 1-23 is a further concern.

A better chaser than hurdler but no wins in 16 overall and well below his best the last twice; others safer.

Spotlight :
Completing the course can be a challenge and after hinting at a revival at Newbury (3m2f; back from another wind op) he was last to finish at Haydock (3m4f); wouldn't be the percentage call.
