Spotlight: Has progressed since wind surgery early last year, winning handicaps at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter before decent fifth at Newbury (2m, good to soft) latest; 10lb higher than last winning mark but solid chance.

Spotlight: Got off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and ran another sound race when second in an Ayr handicap (2m, heavy) since; progressive and a contender.

Spotlight: Quite useful at up to 1m4f on the Flat for Hughie Morrison; got off the mark over hurdles in a mares' novice at Hexham (2m, heavy) in December but beaten 10l in similar event at Catterick last time (1m7f, good); quite interesting back on a stiff track on handicap debut.

Spotlight: Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again.

Spotlight: Has won four times on the AW but sole jumps win was in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham in February 2022 (2m, soft); has a chance on his Leicester second (1m7f, soft) in November but a bit disappointing since.

Spotlight: Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form.

Spotlight: Won Navan maiden hurdle for Stuart Crawford in December 2024 (2m3f, good to yielding); hasn't run up to his best in three starts for present yard but is down to a good mark.

Spotlight: Veteran who won twice in 2025, the second by 7l over C&D (soft) in December; now 5lb higher in a stronger race.

Spotlight: Has won only one of his 19 starts over hurdles, a Market Rasen maiden in August 2023 (2m, good to soft); fair second at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft) but well beaten over C&D last twice.

Spotlight: Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more.

Spotlight: Veteran mare who has won seven races, three of them over C&D, but hasn't been in the best of form this season and others appeal more.

Spotlight: Easy winner off a 12lb lower mark at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft; form sound) in April; well below that form in both starts since and has a bit to prove at present.

Spotlight: Won a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Sedgefield in May (good); good second over this C&D (good to soft) next time but mainly disappointing since; others stronger.

Spotlight: Ex-Irish; 33-1 winner at Ayr (2m, soft; tongue-tie refitted) in November on second run for present yard but she hasn't run as well since, last time when stepped up to 3m; others look stronger.
