Spotlight: Placed four times last June-September and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, not so good in his four starts since and the ground should not have been an excuse; tongue tied on last three outings.

Spotlight: 11lb lower now than on handicap debut and he's shown enough for his new yard this term not to be ruled out entirely; headgear first time.

Spotlight: Fourth in a bumper here (good) last April but tailed off at big odds in his three hurdle races; hooded last four starts but not today; tongue-tie is enlisted for this handicap debut; market may guide again.

Spotlight: Fair 1m2f Flat winner in Ireland last April; he hasn't yet found his level over hurdles, soundly beaten when tongue tied in handicaps on last two outings; tried cheekpieces before that and now sports blinkers.

Spotlight: Second of five last April in his only Irish point but beaten 26l, 30l and 43l this autumn in his three runs over hurdles; absent five months before this handicap debut, for which the market may well guide.

Spotlight: Ex-Irish; three good runs in the autumn for new yard, notably with his December win at Musselburgh (soft; probably also okay on good); flopped next time but, after wind surgery, partially revived when third at Sedgefield three weeks ago; 1-26 overall (1-19 over hurdles) but he's one to consider.

Spotlight: Returned from a long absence with what looked an encouraging stable debut last July but four heavy defeats have followed; tried 2m7f last time.

Spotlight: While not the force of old, his close fourth on the Flat this month showed that he's still capable of fair form in that sphere; went the wrong way in his four-race hurdle career last February-May but needs a second look.

Spotlight: Third of five in a bumper last April; triple-figure odds for all four starts over hurdles and pulled up on first three; while 35l seventh of 11 at Kelso (2m, heavy) on latest was better, with tongue-tie added to blinkers, others clearly bring more solid claims to his handicap debut today.

Spotlight: 1m Flat winner in 2024; has run three times over hurdles, on second occasion showing modest form on New Year's Day on debut for this yard; not so good when hooded on soft ground next time and he refused to enter the stalls for a Flat race four weeks ago; bit to prove.

Spotlight: 12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track.

Spotlight: Well beaten in two bumpers and he's struggled at massive prices in his three races over hurdles, two of them over C&D; handicap debut should offer improved prospects but he has no solid claims.

Spotlight: Showed a little in UK points but not this autumn in three runs over hurdles; has had wind surgery since and this is his handicap debut, but from 10lb out of the handicap proper.
