Spotlight :
Kicked off his career with two wins (one C&D) on good ground at Kempton last year; did not live up to that until winning his handicap debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) six days ago after 233-day absence, leading two out and holding on by a head under Freddie Gordon; can race off the same mark today, so has a big chance if in the same form; stable runs three.

Spotlight :
Staying-on fourth in a top handicap at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February but he's not fired in the same way since in three races over this sort of trip, latest his chase/seasonal debut; 3lb lower than at Newbury, so he's a serious player if back on song; trainer won this in 2020 and 2021, on both occasions when a stablemate was shorter in the betting, and he has three runners this time around.

Spotlight :
Had a mixed record last term, with a C&D handicap one of his lesser efforts; best runs that season were at about 3m on good to soft or soft, which he built on when winning under Freddie Mitchell at Newbury (3m, soft) on reappearance four weeks ago; up 6lb and more to prove back in trip.

Spotlight :
Raised his game on last three starts last term (over 2m5f-3m, good to soft/good) once the visor went on and carried on the good work with his gritty, rallying win at Market Rasen (near 3m, soft) four weeks ago; 3lb higher than last time but it's this sharper test which is the chief concern.

Spotlight :
Won a juvenile hurdle here but twice beaten 20l over C&D in an up-and-down campaign last term; two creditable placings (claimer ridden) last month from his only two starts this season but he needs extra to win this.

Spotlight :
Made most/all of the running for two Market Rasen wins (2m2f and 2m; good to soft) in the spring and came from midfield when scoring by a neck from In The Air at Taunton (2m3f) four weeks ago; up another 6lb; may well have more to give but there is also more for him to prove stamina-wise.

Spotlight :
Has a very mixed record, the highlight his 11l win from the front in this (good) last year; had wind surgery in May before making a creditable start to chase career but his latest outing in that sphere was poor (including a very awkward start); tongue tied first time that day and now last season's hood/cheekpieces return; back hurdling after 108 days off and he's 6lb higher than this time last year, with his yard now in good form; considered.

Spotlight :
Lean spell prior to winning in October on his first two starts for this yard (2m4f and an extended 2m2f); never better than when beaten a neck by King Of The Road at Taunton (2m3f) on latest outing; up 5lb; not proven over quite this far but has to be considered, for a top stable which runs three.

Spotlight :
11l second to Mahons Glory in this race last year; wore cheekpieces last four starts, kicking off in March with third in the EBF Final at Sandown and a Plumpton win (both 2m4f); ended last term on a low note back at Sandown and he was tailed off trying 3m at Cheltenham (14-1) on reappearance; early days this term but he now has a question to answer.
