Spotlight :
Suffered dip in form after last spring's slow-ground hat-trick but looked back in good nick when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month, having been messed about by a loose horse, and any rain here will aid him.

Spotlight :
Low-mileage mare who returned from six-month break with pretty good second of 13 in Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m4f, good) in May, shaping very much as though this longer trip might suit; must be considered.

Spotlight :
Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come.

Spotlight :
Runner-up in three points this year and won four-runner hunter chase by 12l over C&D (good) when back under rules last month; evidently in decent nick but faces much stronger opposition in this handicap.

Spotlight :
Weakened rather tamely in closing stages of Kelso hurdle last month but battled well to pip Ganapathi in a chase there (2m7f, good) in April and is only 2lb higher here; also effective on right-handed tracks (course winner over hurdles); a possible.

Spotlight :
Largely consistent in early part of last season and went very close at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, after a break; slightly disappointing when dropped back to 2m here last month but has possibilities if this much longer trip suits (unraced beyond about 2m4f under rules).

Spotlight :
Four-time C&D winner; returned from a break with very poor hurdle run here last month and can't be supported confidently after that, but reverts to fences on a good mark and won't mind what the weather does.

Spotlight :
Runner-up three times in a row in February-April, including in a quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, good) and when losing out only narrowly to Half Shot at Kelso (2m7f, good); subsequent 22l defeat over C&D came in a stronger race than this; one to consider.

Spotlight :
Very useful staying handicap chaser in his prime but was pulled up five consecutive times during the 2023-24 season and it takes a big leap of faith to support him on this first appearance since April 2024.
