Spotlight :
Won over hurdles and fences for Robert Walford; four starts for this yard, easily the best of them on his recent return from a long absence, finishing a 6l second over C&D on New Year's Day (soft); whether he builds on that remains to be seen but hard to rule out.

Spotlight :
Winning for a second time here when keeping on over 2m2f in October when only 4lb lower; not quite at the same level in her two subsequent visits and finished weakly the final time over 2m5f (stays this far).

Spotlight :
Showed a bit in his qualifying runs but still proved easy to back on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft; 10-1) and never posed much of a threat; however, the stable's horses have turned a corner recently and may yet to better.

Spotlight :
Five times runner-up over hurdles; confined to fences by current trainer, winning at Newton Abbot last May (2m5f, soft) and third of 15 here last time (2m3f); rated 5lb lower in this sphere so has to have some chance.

Spotlight :
Versatile as regards trip and ground so no worries on that score; however, diminishing returns since going close at Hereford in October and no real significance in the return of cheekpieces (tried a visor last time).

Spotlight :
Her standout run this season was the runaway win at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) despite jumping out to her left, which she did again before stopping quickly at Uttoxeter; too up-and-down for comfort and this ground could be too soft for her.

Spotlight :
It was a modest bumper he won at Ludlow and it's been a modest return in three 2m novice hurdles; however, handicaps are now the right option and he's bred for this far.

Spotlight :
Made mistakes and was pulled up on chase/handicap debut last spring but put in good front-running shift when fifth on return to hurdling at Hereford (2m3f, good) in October; going further this time should be of benefit.

Spotlight :
Placed in his first two handicap hurdles but over 2m; 2m5f on soft ground didn't look an ideal fit last time at Fontwell; the same concerns apply here.

Not beaten far when fifth from off the pace over C&D two runs back and it was over 2m when never counting at Chepstow; this race looks more suitable.

Last win was off 18lb higher in March 2023; returns to a more suitable trip than the 3m last time but ran just the one race of any real note last year and he's an 11yo now.
