Spotlight :
Progressive sort who landed a Grade 2 at Navan last season when giving weight to re-opposing runner-up, Beacon Edge; followed that up with a third in the Liverpool Hurdle just behind Buddy One and was only just touched off by Crambo in the Long Walk on seasonal return; still unexposed and could come on for that Ascot run.

Spotlight :
Veteran; talented when he puts it all together but he was back to jumping right on return at Leopardstown when beaten a long way out and he has questions to answer now; opposable given that he's likely to be short enough in the betting.

Spotlight :
Finished in front of Hiddenvalley Lake in the Liverpool Hurdle last season and creditable efforts in two other Grade 1s either side of that run; won three-runner beginners' on return but hasn't built on that since; will be a major player if the return to hurdles gets him back on track.

Spotlight :
Maiden hurdle winner at Limerick last season and made it two from four over timber in a C&D handicap on return; big career best when staying on for third in the Savills Hurdle on return, not getting a run at a crucial stage and he has a lot more upside than most of his rivals here; more needed again but not ruled out on just his sixth start over hurdles.

Chased home Franciscan Rock at Clonmel before finishing 4l behind Rocky's Diamond when fourth in the Grade 1 Savills Hurdle last month; likely to need a career best.

Spotlight :
Won the 3m handicap hurdle at the DRF last season and he can be dangerous when allowed to dictate the pace on the front end; has to take his form to a new level against these rivals though.

Has won twice over this sort of trip this winter with two career best efforts; more required again to land a hat-trick against these rivals but has each-way claims.

Spotlight :
Grade 1 winner in his pomp and still capable of useful form, as seen when landing a below par Grade 2 at Wetherby in November; however, tough ask to give weight to all but one of these rivals.
