Spotlight Very lightly raced 8yo mare who displayed improvement to cause 28-1 surprise on last month's handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, soft); takes on males in a deeper race here but further progress is possible.

Spotlight Placed on consecutive appearances (2m3f/3m, good to soft) since her Worcester fall in September and is probably still on a workable mark but will have something to prove if the ground turns soft/heavy.

Spotlight 0-7 over hurdles but led narrowly before last-flight fall at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in January and makes her seasonal debut from the same mark; major player if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect.

Spotlight Placed in 2m novice here (heavy) in January but both subsequent handicap runs (3m1f/2m4f) were very disappointing; sports first-time tongue-tie and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here.

Spotlight 0-6 over hurdles but belied 50-1 odds when keeping on for fourth of 18 at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago and ought to be suited by today's longer trip; could have a say.

Spotlight Ex-Irish 8yo who bettered last month's low-key stable debut when keeping on well for second at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) on Monday; makes quick reappearance off same mark here; a possible.

Spotlight Fair Flat racer when on song and made the frame in his first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, good); well beaten when upped to 2m5f on soft ground last month, though, and has stamina to prove here.

Spotlight Unplaced all six hurdling starts but made fairly encouraging return from long absence when fifth at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) last month; not out of this if that outing brought him on.

Spotlight Dual novice winner in 2022-23 season (good/good to soft) but has been largely disappointing in handicaps; towards rear throughout at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) this month; cheekpieces added here.

Spotlight Placed behind 200-1 winner in quite valuable novice here (2m2f, heavy) in February but ran very poorly when dropped back to 2m for handicap debut one month later and has not raced again since.

Spotlight Won a division of this race in 2020 but it's a good while since he showed any worthwhile form and he's 5lb out of the weights today.

Spotlight Ex-Irish maiden who was in rear throughout on recent stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft); might well come good for Dan Skelton at some stage but needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing.

Spotlight Ten-race maiden; went close over fences in October 2022 but absent since two poor hurdle runs the following winter; cheekpieces and tongue-tie removed; considered only if lively in the betting.

Spotlight 0-15 over hurdles when trained in Ireland and has not shown a great deal on his two starts for Chris Honour this year (2m4f/2m3f); blinkers removed; difficult to enthuse over.

Spotlight Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was pulled up when 66-1 for handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in August and needs this stiffer stamina test to unlock huge improvement.
