Spotlight: Won a point by 25l in February last year and made the frame on all three runs over hurdles last term; yard is going well and he should come into his own now he goes chasing.

Spotlight: Heavy-ground bumper winner for Paul Nicholls but failed to make a serious impact in five races over hurdles last term; makes stable/chasing debut but will be seen to best effect when the mud is flying.

Spotlight: Flew home to finish second in a Chepstow bumper on his debut in March last year and showed promise when in the frame in two of three hurdle events last term; looks the sort to do better now he goes over fences on his handicap debut.

Spotlight: Made the frame on all four runs over hurdles last term, on soft ground; stable going well and he should not be far away on this chase debut.

Spotlight: Won on his only start in an Irish point; in the frame in four runs over hurdles last term with similar form; has had wind surgery since; in good hands and looks the type to improve now he runs over fences.

Spotlight: Placed on first three hurdling starts last term but finished last of six at Plumpton (2m5f, good to soft) when stepping up in trip on handicap debut; still early days and may get back on track now that he tackles fences.

Spotlight: Point winner who won his bumper at Plumpton (2m2f, soft) last December; ran to a similar level on all three runs over hurdles subsequently and is an interesting recruit to fences on his handicap debut.

Spotlight: Winning Irish pointer who also landed a bumper and scored over hurdles in January; never involved when fifth of six on his chasing debut over C&D last month and may be seen to better effect when he steps back up in trip.

Spotlight: Six-race maiden over hurdles last term, best run when third of 12 at Ffos Las (3m, good) in April on final start; sports first-time tongue-tie on chase debut and the best of him may not be seen until he steps back up in trip.

Spotlight: Dual winner over hurdles at Uttoxeter; shaped better on his fifth run over fences when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) in February; should find a race but this is a tough ask on his return.

Spotlight: Largely progressive when placed over hurdles last term but beaten 48l on chase debut over C&D last month; needs to step up.

Spotlight: Sold for 20,000euros after winning his second race over hurdles in France in May last year; absent since and runs without the headgear worn previously; best watched unless the market speaks on this chase debut.

Spotlight: Won twice over around 2m over hurdles in 2024; lightly raced since and asked serious questions taking on more progressive types on this chase debut.

Spotlight: Had her day in the sun when scoring at 150-1 in a maiden hurdle here (2m good) in September; has failed to make an impact in two runs over fences since and difficult to fancy.

Spotlight: 1-26 under rules and apparently faces a hopeless task from 12lb out of the weights.
