Spotlight :
2-4 in handicaps; beaten a long way in the two defeats but appeared sweetened up by the new cheekpieces when coasting home in front at Bangor (extended 2m3f, good) nine days ago and a 7lb rise could have been worse; the big question mark hangs over today's much longer trip, but he's clearly a strong contender if he can see it out.

Spotlight :
Odds-on winner at Fontwell in a bumper on soft and a maiden on good; chasing this season (after wind surgery) and his latest effort was much the best of those; however, he returns to hurdles over a trip that could stretch him (unraced beyond an extended 2m4f).

Spotlight :
Ex-Gary Moore for whom he won races; two Flat wins for this yard and he was only narrowly denied with the front two clear over C&D (good) two weeks ago; must have a good chance.

Spotlight :
Went backwards over fences but appreciated the return to hurdling and cheekpieces when runner-up over a slightly shorter trip than this at Uttoxeter (good); suited by good ground, so watch the weather.

Spotlight :
Has won both her races since raised in distance, the first over C&D and then beating the one other finisher at Wincanton (again on good ground); raised another 4lb but should be on the scene.

Spotlight :
Out of form since winning an Irish handicap last summer (2m4f, good) and although he ran better here yesterday they went no pace; looks vulnerable.

Spotlight :
Second in a maiden here (2m4f) in December, since which he's been pulled up in a maiden at Cheltenham and the EBF Final (handicap) at Sandown; doesn't look on that good a mark but it's still quite early days and his yard is bang in form.

Spotlight :
Strike-rate of 5-18 as a hurdler but he's a 10yo now and has shown little in two runs (both over 3m) following a long absence; on the plus side, getting away from soft ground will be preferable.
