Spotlight :
Admirably consistent gelding who didn't have too much trouble in justifying a shade of odds-on at Kempton 12 days ago (3m, good); 5lb rise is perfectly fair for one who was having only his fourth run over fences; should progress some more.

Spotlight :
Not at his best last time at Ascot but that was a competitive Class 1 handicap and his previous placed efforts included a near miss behind the subsequent Welsh National winner; commands respect at this level and he tries cheekpieces for the first time.

Spotlight :
Won 3m/3m2f handicap chases in November on good ground but has dropped his guard the last twice and he's accustomed to lower-grade races than this.

Spotlight :
Very capable chaser on his day and pushed an improver close at Market Rasen on his penultimate start (3m, good to soft); reportedly never travelling when pulled up back there last time; has a big run in him if back on song.

Spotlight :
Tends to come good around this time of year and ran his best race for a while when only 4l off The Doyen Chief at Kempton; bled from the nose there but that's rare for him and he should run very well.

Spotlight :
Mostly consistent since sent over fences (4-11) but he has gone up 5lb for his 3m win at Ludlow (good to soft) when a lot went wrong for his five rivals; he was also partnered by a 3lb claimer then, so appears to have more on his plate now; still rates a likely contender given overall profile.
