Spotlight :
Seems versatile as regards ground; campaigned mostly at about 2m4f but is 2-2 over 3m (including a point win); game performance in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown most recently, adding to his Grade 2 wins and prevailing narrowly in a duel with subsequent Arkle winner Jango Baie; chase record is 3-4 and overall strike-rate is 7-9; holds very strong claims, being progressive and top on the figures.

Spotlight :
Has finished behind Stellar Story at the last two Cheltenham Festivals but was hindered by being pestered up front in latest; otherwise a smart stayer who retains the potential to land a top prize over fences, having been a three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, including on this card 12 months ago; remains of major interest.

Spotlight :
Grade 1 novice hurdle winner over 2m in Ireland and sold for 740,000euros at the Caldwell dispersal sale; record of 2-4 over fences for new connections features an excellent front-running performance in the novice handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, galloping on strongly and leaving the impression he'll be as effective upped further in distance; respected with further progress plausible.

Spotlight :
Recorded a last-gasp success in last season's Albert Bartlett and showed a similarly smart level of form in last two chase starts, good second in steadily run Brown Advisory returned to the Cheltenham Festival (3m, good to soft) latest; threatening to land a top-level prize in this sphere and chance would improve if there's a stronger pace than last time.

Spotlight :
Only 1-11 over fences, the success in a Grade 2 Reynoldstown at Ascot that essentially fell apart; however, he's proved very consistent in good handicaps otherwise this term, second at the Cheltenham Festival (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; again likely to give his running.

Spotlight :
Has useful 2m4f form that includes a good effort in last season's Martin Pipe and chase success at Gowran Park in January; didn't get the chance to prove he stays 3m in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (good to soft) most recently, having made a bad mistake and unseated rider four out; has time on his side (only a 6yo) and remains a promising sort.

Spotlight :
Ex-French 6yo whose useful form for current yard includes a Grade 3 success over 2m2f in October and good effort over 2m4f at the Cheltenham Festival last month; faces a stiffer task at this level and has stamina to prove upped further in trip.

Spotlight :
Front-running 10yo who has to defy the stats as only two veterans have landed this prize since its inception in 1981; however, has low mileage for her age and remains unbeaten over fences; bagged Listed honours, against her own sex, at Newbury/Exeter the last twice and is a rising force for Polly Gundry; gets the 7lb sex allowance and shouldn't be passed over lightly.
