Spotlight :
Won at Ffos Las in May and runner-up four times in a row before winning by 5l with waiting tactics at Cheltenham (upped to 3m, good to soft) 13 days ago; up 7lb but claimer Beau Morgan is recruited and there was plenty to like about that latest win.

Spotlight :
Swerved and ran out on his only go at this track (this April) but that seems a one-off and he won at Sandown next time; fell on second chase start this autumn (ran creditably on first) and tailed off back hurdling 19 days ago, albeit on heavy; needs to resume improvement, with stamina to prove; first ride in a hurdle race for four-time British champion Flat jockey Oisin Murphy.

Down the weights before dominating from the front in good-ground handicaps at Sedgefield (3m3f hurdle) and Wincanton (3m1f chase) this autumn; creditable, always-prominent second in the Badger Beer back here on latest start; back hurdling off what remains a competitive mark.

Spotlight :
Three out of five in his only season hurdling, including a 2m7f Ascot handicap win and his sixth to Stay Away Fay in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham; absent 650 days and has left David Pipe (same owners); new yard won this in 2015, 2021 and 2023 and he's worth a market check.

Spotlight :
A leading staying novice hurdler two seasons back and the same as a novice chaser last term before his flops at the Cheltenham Festival (scoped dirty) and in Scottish National (respiratory issue); had wind surgery in July; this looks a sharper test than ideal but his chase mark is 6lb higher.

Spotlight :
All starts on soft or good to soft; solid novice campaign, with his sole win at this track (1m7f) and staying-on fourth in the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f); his jumping wasn't great over fences on reappearance (2m1f; tailed off) and there's a new trip for this return to hurdling, with enough stamina in the pedigree however to suggest he has possibilities; stable runs two.

Spotlight :
Impressed on hurdling debut at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good to soft) and creditable second at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) before 2m2f on good looked too short at Fontwell; however, this first attempt at 3m comes after 697 days off; stable runs two; interesting if there's market strength behind him.

Spotlight :
Chasing two seasons back, winning twice in very small fields but his jumping failed the test in 3m Grade 1 at Kempton on Boxing Day and he pulled up at Cheltenham that January; had a minor tendon strain and he's been off since, also given wind surgery this July; bit to prove after the absence.

Spotlight :
One of his two novice wins was at this track and he went close on handicap debut at Huntingdon (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces, retained) in April; back on soft ground when disappointing at Newbury four weeks ago on reappearance; it's much too early to dismiss him.

Spotlight :
His last win was over hurdles here (2m5f, heavy; probably stays 3m) in February 2021 and his last hurdle race was that March; 0-15 over fences since, not at his best last season and beaten 32l on reappearance five weeks ago but he's slipped to what should be a dangerous mark.

Spotlight :
Claimer ridden on last five starts; a revelation with two wins when upped to 3m in the mud in February, at this track on first occasion; two good places afterwards for Syd Hosie and can make the running, but he ducked out at the seventh flight on reappearance at Doncaster four weeks ago; position 11lb out of the handicap is nevertheless the chief concern today.
