Spotlight :
Won Lingfield maiden (2m3f, heavy) for Chris Gordon last February and 11l runner-up at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in December in second handicap; has shown promise on good to soft; has joined Dan Skelton since last time (still in same ownership) and this unexposed 7yo is open to improvement; player.

Spotlight :
Won a novice hurdle at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in December and defied a penalty at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) recently; could do with jumping better but he brings potential to this handicap debut, especially now up in trip; could have plenty more to offer.

Spotlight :
Just one win from his last 18 starts but that came by a wide margin over C&D (good to soft) in January and he ran another big race when fourth of 17 at Ascot (2m7f, good) last time; every chance he'll be thereabouts.

Bumper winner who won early last year on first two hurdle starts (2m5f/2m4f, good to soft/heavy); remains lightly raced for top yard but hasn't threatened this season in his first three handicaps.

Spotlight :
Won in France (2m3f, soft) last September and kept on for 8l second on British debut in Carlisle novice (2m1f, good to soft) last month; improvement needed now in his first handicap but the step up in trip could help this unexposed 5yo; one to watch in the betting.

Spotlight :
9yo who has been pulled up the last twice, but on heavy ground on the first occasion and back over fences most recently; he's on a good mark on last year's best hurdle form and it will be no surprise if he goes well.

Spotlight :
Was wearing these blinkers for the second time when he won at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; this 11yo is 5lb higher today against some unexposed types but he's won over C&D and has an each-way chance.

Spotlight :
Launched handicap career with four consecutive wins in late 2022 (2m4f/2m5f, good-soft); soundly beaten at Wetherby last month when back from a very long absence and he needs to prove how much ability he retains, but he ran well for a long way and could show the benefit of that outing today.

Spotlight :
Well beaten on all four starts since November but he's been missing these cheekpieces on his last three outings; he wore them when twice finishing second over C&D last spring (including when beaten a neck in this race) and is well handicapped on that form; interesting contender.

Spotlight :
Attractively handicapped on his form last spring and last month's fifth at Kempton was a step back in the right direction; however he needs to take another if he's to pose a threat this afternoon.

Spotlight :
Better than ever last autumn, winning two in a row (2m7f, good; including here) before bumping into handicap blot when third at Aintree (3m, good) in October when last seen; further improvement can't be ruled out but he returns from a break with the drop back in trip a possible negative.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced 6yo who produced his best run yet in a handicap when keeping on for 5l fourth of eight to Whatsupwithyou at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; back up in grade today and improvement is needed, but a stronger pace could help in this big field; one to consider.

Spotlight :
Won two 3m chases last year and he's well handicapped on that form; however, this 10yo was pulled up on his last hurdle start in October 2021 and there's also a question mark regarding the drop back in trip.

Spotlight :
After a spell with Jennie Candlish he's rejoined Sophie Leech, for whom he was running well in France in spring 2023; well handicapped on that form but this 10yo was well beaten on both starts this winter, following a long absence, and he has plenty to prove.
