Spotlight With new yard for last two outings, shaping with promise on first occasion and making the most of her slip in the weights when justifying favouritism at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) on latest; back up 5lb but did it in tidy style and could now have more to offer.

Spotlight Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m, good) on stable debut last May and narrowly added a ten-runner handicap at Newcastle (extended 2m4f, good to soft) six days ago; 7lb penalty seems to demand better still but he has to be on the shortlist.

Spotlight Consistent maiden who has been placed in all completed starts (bumpers and hurdle races); needs extra and moves back up in trip (probably stays 2m3f) after three races over 2m-2m1f.

Spotlight Both of her wins were in 2021; back to some form when third at Ludlow (2m5f) on latest outing and peak form from last winter reads well.

Spotlight 1-7 in Irish points; twice a close second from six starts over hurdles, including over C&D (good; travelled best) last time in his third handicap; wore a tongue-tie and cheekpieces that day, both for the first time, and now switches to a visor; in the mix.

Spotlight Inconsistent but he recorded much his best hurdles form when winning easily under Conor Rabbitt at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day last time; his useful Flat form was admittedly back in 2022 but now also needs plenty of respect in this sphere, despite 13lb rise.

Spotlight Irish point winner in 2023; consistent in his six hurdle races, making most when a close third on the step up to 2m4f at Sedgefield (soft) on latest start; third of five on handicap debut the time before; a bit extra is needed and headgear is given a call-up.

Spotlight Minor honours in points; triple-figure odds for first three hurdle races but 4-1 for handicap debut here (1m7f, soft) three weeks ago and finished third, albeit 15l behind impressive winner in five-runner race; needs to build on that but bred to stay this longer trip and is one to consider.

Spotlight Pretty consistent in handicap hurdles since his maiden win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last February; trying chasing on last two outings did not go so well (tried in cheekpieces latest) but last season's form makes him a big player back in this sphere.

Spotlight Player on best efforts, such as his second over 3m at Musselburgh two runs back, but it's hard to ignore that he's been runner-up five times over hurdles (from 22 attempts in this sphere) and has still never won.

Spotlight Clear second on debut at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) in October 2023; three lesser efforts have followed, latest on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) in January 2024; needs to turn over a new leaf on this return.

Spotlight Won three Flat races at up to 1m5f from ten races in 2023 in French provinces; 0-5 over hurdles in Britain but more like it lately, second of five in handicap at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) last time; looked well worth a go over this longer trip and now has tongue tied first time, so better may be forthcoming.
