Spotlight :
Soundly beaten in three 2m3f maiden hurdles this year but, with cheekpieces fitted, improved to win by 8l on recent chase/handicap debut at Leicester (2m6f, soft); moves up in trip again here; can progress again.

Spotlight :
Won Kelso hunter chase on stable debut at start of this year and returned to handicaps with two respectable runs this autumn, more recently when third at Market Rasen (3m, soft); another 3lb lower here; each-way claims.

Spotlight :
Back in peak form when keeping on well for clearcut win at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) this month, his third chase success; may not have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise but this C&D also suits.

Spotlight :
Dual chase winner in Ireland in spring 2023; remote when third on stable debut at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in October and has since been pulled up at Hexham; others here have less to prove.

Won for Simon Waugh at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in May and second to progressive rival on stable debut at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft) in October; finished tired on soft ground last month but still considered.

Spotlight :
Kept on for second on this month's chasing debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) but was pulled up over 3m at Uttoxeter eight days ago and his career strike-rate now stands at 0-17; others preferred.

Spotlight :
0-6 over fences; ran well when second at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in April but encounters a very different trip-and-ground combination here and has been absent since unseating rider on consecutive outings in the spring.

|
Spotlight :
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here.

Spotlight :
Tailed off when reverting to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces (retained) this month but had been in good form over fences beforehand, most notably when winning at Sedgefield (2m5f, good); unexposed over this sort of trip; contender if back on song.

|
Spotlight :
0-11 under all codes; placed in two good-ground hurdle races when cheekpieces were added in the spring (3m/2m7f) and may not have been suited by the soft ground when pulled up on recent chasing debut, but he still makes only limited appeal from 6lb out of the weights.

Spotlight :
Very lightly raced 10yo who was out of form when last seen in spring 2023; resumes on a tempting mark but would appeal more on soft ground and his current ability is hard to gauge.

Spotlight :
Lucky to win at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last month, as he was a long way behind when left alone two out, and he was safely held when cheekpieces were added for latest run; 9lb wrong here; others look stronger.

Spotlight :
Made low-key return in October from one-year absence but is well handicapped on old form (even from 10lb out of the weights) and will be suited by today's ground; worth a glance in the betting.
