Spotlight :
Ideally needs to learn to settle better but he kept on well from the rear for second over C&D (good to soft) on recent handicap debut and could still have a bigger performance in him; high on the list.

|
Spotlight :
Creditable second on handicap debut at Exeter (2m, good) last month and reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when below that form over C&D three weeks ago (first-time hood); contender if handling today's conditions.

|
Spotlight :
Scored on debut in France last year and came second on first two British starts; below form after refusing to settle at Taunton a fortnight ago but the first-time hood may help him to relax more on this handicap debut and he probably still has potential; tongue-tie also added.

Spotlight :
Runner-up on both hurdling starts, more recently at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May; has fitness to prove on this handicap debut and the drop back in trip is not an obvious move but he's open to improvement.

Spotlight :
Below best this season and has never won anywhere other than Ffos Las, but he took a step back in the right direction when placed at Fontwell recently and is now 17lb lower than when third in this race last year.

Spotlight :
Won Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in May and made satisfactory handicap debut over C&D (soft) this month; that latest run might have brought him on and today's forecast less testing ground ought to be a plus; big player.

Spotlight :
Gave a pretty good account when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) 24 days ago and will be suited by this drop back in trip but has a modest hurdling strike-rate (1-17) and is 1lb wrong today.

Spotlight :
Suffered mid-race mishap when upped to 3m for latest outing but had battled on well to open account at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) last month and still has scope to build on that performance; drops back in trip today.

Spotlight :
Runner-up on two of his five starts for Keiran Burke since October, latterly over C&D (good to soft) last month, but didn't look very enthusiastic when well beaten at Hereford on Saturday and needs to rebound quickly.

Spotlight :
Runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in first-time visor for Syd Hosie in June but made a disappointing stable debut this month (no headgear, as today) and is now 0-8 over hurdles; others have more pressing claims.

Ex-Irish maiden who was towards rear throughout on stable debut at Hereford last month; remains unexposed but clearly needs to produce a more dynamic performance.

Spotlight :
0-7 over hurdles and 0-15 overall; belied 66-1 odds when very respectable fourth in Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) this month but probably needs to better that performance on this handicap return.

Fair Flat-racer; launched hurdling career with two encouraging runs this autumn, but was tailed off over C&D on latest outing five weeks ago and has a point to prove on this handicap hurdle debut.

Proved he retains some ability when 66-1 third over C&D (good to soft) five weeks ago but is effectively 9lb higher from out of the weights today and his overall profile remains unconvincing.
