Spotlight Fetched �350,000 soon after winning a soft-ground point in November 2022; failed to match expectations over hurdles for Ben Pauling, faring slightly better when a beaten favourite at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in March; interesting now switched to fences post wind surgery for Dan Skelton.

Spotlight Point winner in October 2022 (sold for �80,000); struggled initially over hurdles, but did make the frame in an Exeter maiden (2m5f, soft) in March; is in the right hands to progress over fences assuming that further wind surgery has been beneficial.

Spotlight All out when notching sole hurdles win at Exeter (2m5f, soft) last December; reasonably consistent this year, including when a weakening fourth over 2m4f here (good, beaten nearly 7l) in June; was in contention when falling in sole point; can't discount on rules chasing debut.

Spotlight Off the mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton (2m5f, soft; from 5lb lower) in April; doesn't have the most obvious of pedigrees for chasing but was only narrowly beaten on sole point start for Francesca Poste in May 2022.

Spotlight Mainly low-key since an impressive hurdles win at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April 2022; some signs that he's getting to grip with chasing (0-5) though, only weakening from the last when fifth of 13 over 2m4f here (good) in July; easing mark; more required.

Spotlight Point winner; made a winning rules chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft; also stable debut) in May; reasonably solid since, and likely would have gone closer behind a progressive rival at Fontwell (3m2f) latest but for a costly late error; ticks more boxes than many.

Spotlight Sole chase win came over 3m at Exeter (heavy; from 12lb higher) on New Year's Day 2023; weakened, finishing down the field (beaten 27l) on recent Warwick seasonal reappearance; now dropping in trip, into a Class 5 in newly applied blinkers.

Spotlight Won twice in France for Emmanuel Clayeux, including over fences (2m2f, heavy); placed four times for this trainer, and now rated 6lb lower than when runner-up at Fakenham (2m5f) last November; too keen when last in action at Huntingdon; first run since wind surgery.

Spotlight Came good over hurdles in the spring, finishing runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f) and winning at Southwell (3m, soft), with that improvement coinciding with the fitting of a tongue-tie; a 7lb rise asks more on first attempt over fences; possibilities.

Spotlight Notched his first win for a couple of years at Southwell (3m, soft) in March, and did okay behind a shock 150-1 winner at Stratford (3m3f) next time; fairly weighted and usually consistent, but might need this off a 178-day absence; others preferred.

Spotlight Now 4lb lower than when successful over C&D (good) in the summer of 2023; knocking on the door this summer, regularly finishing in the frame at Cartmel (2m1f-2m5f), and elsewhere; modest effort over 2m here latest; may bounce back at 2m7f.

Spotlight Fontwell bumper winner (2m1f) who failed to kick on over hurdles (0-3 in novices); has shown an aptitude for chasing in points (runner-up on debut) so it's possible that the switch to fences can assist; fitness to prove off a six-month break.

Spotlight Four-time chase winner, including at Ludlow (3m, good) in the spring of 2023; probably needed the comeback run when a weakening fourth of five at Fontwell (3m2f) just under a fortnight ago; fairly weighted, but the prospect of soft ground is a risk-factor.

Spotlight Placed in a 3m point in October 2022; regressed in three attempts over hurdles (maidens and novice) and has been absent since February 2023; rates as an unlikely candidate on chase/handicap debut, but worth a market check just in case better is expected.
