Spotlight :
Progressive in France; well beaten in Cheltenham Festival handicap (2m4f) on debut for Willie Mullins but started 5-2 favourite and could well leave that effort behind; still an intriguing prospect.

Largely consistent since debut win and gives the impression there's a race of this nature in him; outstayed over a stiff 2m5f when 3-1 favourite for the Coral Cup at Cheltenham most recently; remains of strong interest.

Readily defied a big penalty in Wetherby novice contest (2m3f) last time, taking hurdles record to 3-5 and overall strike-rate to 5-7; interesting on handicap debut, with further progress plausible.

Improving steadily at about 2m, unlucky second in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (good to soft; might have won but for bungling the final flight) most recently; likely player provided he stays the new trip.

2m hurdler who produced his peak performance last April, winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle off just 1lb lower, and this may be the time to catch him; possibilities if he stays the new trip.

Irish raider who has gained his wins over 2m6f/3m and looks likely to find this sharp 2m4f inadequate; could have done with plenty of rain to make it a stiffer test.

Still a maiden under rules and proved errant on penultimate start; however, he went close in a major novice handicap at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) latest, suggesting there's a good prize in him.
