Spotlight :
Top-class chaser who has two 3m Grade 1 wins on his CV and looked as good as ever when honourable second to Jonbon at Aintree (2m4f) in April; has stamina to prove today and needs to bounce back from below-par run in Charlie Hall a fortnight ago, but could simply be too good for this field if back on song for cross-country debut.

Spotlight :
0-13 over fences and absent since below-par run on heavy ground in February but his second of 11 at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last December was among his best form and, from 3lb out of the weights, he's effectively on the same mark for this cross-country debut; a possible.

Spotlight :
Game front-runner who stays very well and has been in career-best form over hurdles and fences this season, winning three times; very respectable third in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, good) last month; can make a bold bid if he takes to this new discipline.

Spotlight :
Very useful handicap chaser at his best (won 2022 Kerry National) but has regressed and become very inconsistent; makes cross-country debut from a workable mark but his stamina is unproven and it's hard to predict whether this type of race will tickle his fancy; usual blinkers left off.

Spotlight :
Stayed on from off the pace for third over C&D (soft) last December and came second in cross-country chase on Bank course at Punchestown festival (3m, soft) on latest outing in May; 8lb out of weights today and would appeal more on slower ground but still considered each-way.

Spotlight :
4-12 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in March; won't fail through lack of stamina but has become very inconsistent, and is 4lb out of the weights for this seasonal/cross-country debut.

Spotlight :
French raider who has been placed in two slow-ground cross-country chases in recent months (3m6f/3m2f), losing out only by a nose on latter occasion; 17lb out of the weights here but should be fine on the quicker surface (hurdle winner on good).

Spotlight :
In prime form in spring/summer, winning twice at Perth (3m) before very creditable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m6f, good), but seems to have gone off the boil lately; unraced beyond 3m; 7lb out of the weights on cross-country debut.
