Spotlight: Consistent mare who won a valuable handicap at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in March and ended last season with a rallying second behind an improver at Perth (3m, good); tongue-tie is now removed but she's on same mark as last time and and has claims if she can pick up where she left off.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 5yo who won a C&D handicap (soft) in March; no impact in his final two runs in the spring but he remains unexposed as a stayer and could have more to offer this season; needs watching in market after seven months off.

Spotlight: Plenty of minor honours over hurdles but he's 0-18 in this sphere and has been well held in his last five starts; looks opposable back from five months off.

Spotlight: Returned from a break and wind surgery to exploit a career-low mark at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; only 3lb higher here but he was well held at Carlisle last week and that took his overall record to 2-42; others are more convincing.

Spotlight: Thorough stayer whose last win was over C&D (soft) in February 2025; several creditable efforts since but she's not easy to predict and is still 5lb than for that last success; has some work to do after 171 days off.

Spotlight: Won at Fakenham (2m7f, soft) and Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February and he ended last season with a 2l second at Fontwell (2m5f, soft); left Nick Scholfield for £2,000 in May but this 7yo still has low mileage and he's a strong stayer at this trip; could be dangerous on his return.

Spotlight: Triple Flat winner in France but she's 0-19 over hurdles; well handicapped on her best form in this sphere but she has a patchy profile and was laboured on her reappearance at Perth (3m, good) last month; down the list.

Spotlight: Emphatic winner over C&D (soft) in February on his third start back from a long absence; pulled up at Newcastle the following month but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and needs a close look back at this track on his return.

Spotlight: Struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs in the spring but he's a brother to two winners in this sphere and is a possible improver now upped to 3m on handicap debut; needs watching in market on his reappearance.

Spotlight: Has been a bit up and down this year but he's been placed in two in his last four starts, including when third at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in August; his last win was 15 months ago but that was off today's mark and he's not ruled out.

Spotlight: Tailed off or pulled up at massive prices in six hurdle runs last season; now goes handicapping after a break but he needs a transformation on this step up to 3m; one of two runners for yard.

Spotlight: 14-race maiden under rules and he struggled last season, including in five handicaps at Ayr (2m-2m5f); has a lot to prove after six months off and he's untried at this trip; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.
