Spotlight :
Launched chasing career with emphatic wins over C&D (good) and at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in the autumn and was creditable second in a Listed race when returned to Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) last month; still has low mileage and features prominently in calculations.

Spotlight :
Won two 3m1f chases last year and finished with a strong late burst to take third at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month, splitting So Said I and Regal Renaissance, but others in the line-up appeal more.

Spotlight :
Just 1-9 over fences but ended last year with two seconds; jumped well and gave it a very good shot from the front at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, and can make another bold bid here.

Spotlight :
Came good for Venetia Williams with comfortable wins at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) and Taunton (2m2f, good) last month; did not threaten when ridden much more patiently at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last week but could still be ahead of her mark and remains very much of interest.

Spotlight :
Off the mark over fences at 13th attempt, keeping on well to draw 12l clear over C&D (good to soft; first run after wind surgery) on New Year's Day; this race is much more competitive but she remains well handicapped on older form.

Spotlight :
Shaped well before fading into well-held third at Leicester (2m6f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) last month, but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and is now 0-8 over fences; others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight :
Stayed on too strongly for So Said I when opening chase account at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) in November and her subsequent fourth of 13 at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft; behind So Said I) was very respectable; shortlisted.

Spotlight :
Began chasing career with two very respectable runs towards the end of 2024, latterly when third of five over C&D (2m5f, good to soft), but needs the first-time cheekpieces to prompt improvement in this much deeper race.

Spotlight :
Placed twice since reverting to fences in November, latterly when keeping on to snatch modest third at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, but might find this race too competitive.

Spotlight :
In good form in the autumn, most notably when winning gamely at Kelso (2m7f, good to soft) in October, but didn't fire at Cheltenham last month and needs a career-best performance to have any chance here; has undergone wind surgery.

Spotlight :
0-8 over hurdles; beat three rivals to making winning chase debut over C&D (good to soft) in November, but managed only fourth of five here (just behind Melusine De Pail) last month and must improve today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers.
