Spotlight :
Revitalised 9yo who ended last season with two good-ground wins (one over C&D) and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month; obvious contender in current form.

Spotlight :
0-9 over hurdles but was very consistent at around 3m on good/good to soft ground in early part of last season and ran well for a long way when back in action last month; big player if that recent outing brought him on.

Spotlight :
Unable to justify strong market support when only third on his two starts this spring (2m7f/3m1f) and now 0-10 over hurdles; needs to find something extra here.

Spotlight :
Three-time chase winner (2m3f-3m1f, good-soft) who is usually ridden very patiently; switches back to hurdling on a tempting mark but has not been firing on all cylinders this year.

Spotlight :
Battled on well to score off 5lb higher at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March 2024 and is also suited by this C&D but has performed poorly on all four appearances since last June and needs to turn a corner.

Spotlight :
Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts and has the services of Sean Bowen today but made rather underwhelming handicap debut over 2m3f six weeks ago and is not bred to benefit from this step up in trip.

Spotlight :
Very well handicapped on old form and returned from 707-day absence with reasonably encouraging hurdle run last month; needs to build on that performance here but runs this track well and is suited by good ground.

Spotlight :
Ran big race in defeat for Adam West at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in the autumn but we haven't seen him since his disappointing chase debut in December; makes stable debut today; market may guide.

Spotlight :
Former Irish pointer/hunter chaser; looked badly out of sorts in handicap chases for new stable last season (four starts) and it takes a big leap of faith to support him on this hurdle debut; had wind op last month; swaps visor for refitted blinkers.

Spotlight :
Soundly beaten on handicap debut for Mark Walford last June (2m7f) and showed very little in two maiden points for owner-trainer this spring; now in the care of Sara Ender; 1lb wrong; not the most obvious answer.

Spotlight :
Returned from break with close second over C&D (soft; also suited by good ground) last spring but has been out of form since and his infrequent going days are hard to predict; 4lb out of the weights today.

Well beaten over fences in his first two handicaps (3m1f/2m5f); fitted with first-time tongue-tie/blinkers for this handicap hurdle debut; huge improvement required.

Remote when third of four at Ludlow (3m, good) last month and now 0-22 over hurdles; 8lb out of the handicap here and can't be recommended; cheekpieces (worn twice previously) given another whirl.
