Spotlight :
Yet another to be rejuvenated by a switch to this yard, with three wins already this year, including one over fences; came away with a subsequent winner last time but this is a deeper race off an 8lb higher mark, so he'll need more.

Spotlight :
Didn't need to improve on his hurdling-debut second in order to land the odds in a small field last time; that was impressive, however, and he remains open to improvement now handicapping.

Spotlight :
Progressive stayer on the Flat as a 3yo before being sold for 200,000gns; hasn't been smooth sailing since his Doncaster hurdle win (back from wind surgery) but he fared better in first-time cheekpieces last time and that gave something to build on.

Spotlight :
Wind surgery seems to have done the trick, with him winning an ordinary Market Rasen maiden in fair style seven weeks ago; has improvement left in him as he goes handicapping off a workable mark.

Spotlight :
Highly consistent, including in four runs for his current yard; nothing wrong with his Cheltenham fifth, back from four months off, last time and will appreciate this drop in grade and step back up in trip; one to consider.

Only seen twice in the past year and offered more on his second start following wind surgery last time; is on a handy mark if able to build on that.

Spotlight :
Didn't look to have any excuses at a short price at Ludlow in March, likewise back on to soft ground last time; it may just be this mark is beyond him (6lb higher than when last successful in the winter).

Spotlight :
C&D win two summers ago came off a 10lb higher mark and he's well treated returning to hurdles after a few runs over fences; he has regressed for this yard since wind surgery though.

Spotlight :
With his fourth yard already and ran much better on his second start following wind surgery when proving his stamina at beyond 2m off 3lb lower seven weeks ago, also for Robbie David; whether he repeats the dose is the question.

Two poor efforts since upped to this trip and handicapping, pulling hard at Doncaster and then being pulled up when last seen in January; isn't obviously fancied.

Only seen sporadically down the years and his best efforts have all come without headgear (cheekpieces retained after two poor runs in them this year); has it to prove currently.

Spotlight :
Headgear helped last autumn, with three wins over further, latterly off a 6lb lower mark; has been off for four months since a poor one in blinkers (goes back to cheekpieces tonight) early in the year and will want a good test over this trip.

Prolific point winner who's proven inconsistent over hurdles since returning from seven months off; has been doing his racing over further and is some way down the pecking order.
