Spotlight :
4-4 under rules and a fine prospect; has progressed markedly with every run and seemed to have plenty left in the tank when striding clear of the odds-on favourite in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham's November meeting (2m5f, good); should be fully effective over today's shorter trip; key player.

Spotlight :
Changed hands for £215,000 after an Irish point win and he's 3-3 over hurdles since, showing further improvement when making all in Grade 2 novice at Haydock (1m7f, soft; beat Country Mile by 3l) in November; looks an uncomplicated sort and another personal best is very much on the cards.

Spotlight :
Beaten just once in four outings under rules and that came at the hands of Roadlesstravelled in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Haydock in November when a last-flight mistake compromised his chance; made amends in no uncertain terms at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) two weeks ago when winning a small-field event in a canter; it's hard to know where his limit lies and he's high on the list.

Spotlight :
Won a point and went close in a bumper (here) for previous yard; has made a smooth transition to hurdling, winning impressively at Fakenham (2m, good) and Kempton (2m, good to soft; made all); faces a sterner test of his credentials now but he's a likeable type and not without hope by any means.

Spotlight :
Two-time bumper winner and unbeaten over hurdles, following up easy win at Wincanton with clearcut success at Ascot (both 1m7f, good); in deeper waters here but he's a useful prospect and not to be passed over lightly.

Spotlight :
Runner-up in three bumpers; well-backed favourite when winning novice hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) and Bangor (2m, good to soft) in the autumn with a fair bit in hand; encounters a higher calibre of rival here but he still has untapped potential.

Spotlight :
Showed plenty of ability in spring bumpers, winning by a wide margin at Warwick and third in a Grade 2 here; bumped into a high-class prospect on hurdling debut at Newbury (2m, soft) four weeks ago and shaped well in pulling clear of the remainder; an exciting hurdler in his own right and worth his place in this higher grade.
