Spotlight: Won his first two bumpers before finishing a good sixth in last season's Champion Bumper; made a smooth transition to hurdling when landing the odds at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and he recorded an RPR of 128; sets clear standard under a penalty here and should be hard to beat in his bid to make it four wins from five starts.

Spotlight: Half-brother to some useful jumpers and was bought for £70,00 after his Irish point win (2m4f, soft/heavy) in February 2024; disappointing when favourite in Carlisle bumper this spring but he's had wind surgery since; yard has a good record in this race in recent years and he needs checking in market on hurdling debut.

Spotlight: Runner-up in two of his three bumpers last season and he made an encouraging start over hurdles when 6l third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; this is much tougher against Idaho Sun but he's effective on soft ground and has place prospects.

Spotlight: Won Carlisle bumper on the second of his three runs last season but was tailed off on hurdling debut at Ayr (2m, soft) 17 days ago; one of three runners for yard here and he's probably one for further down the line.

Spotlight: Out of unraced sister to high-class jumps winner No More Heroes; bought for £36,000 after his point win in February but he was disappointing on recent hurdling debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; 11-4); fitness may have been an issue but he needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop to 2m.

Spotlight: Showed promise in an Ayr bumper on debut last season (2m, soft), but well beaten when switched to hurdles at same track in March; has something to prove after that and yard also runs They Want Me.

Spotlight: Held in first three Irish points but he won the last in April (3m, good to yielding) before being sold for £30,000; out of an unraced half-sister to smart jumper J'y Vole and he should have a future over hurdles for new yard.

Spotlight: Didn't live up to market expectations on Newbury bumper debut (2m, good) last November; well held in three runs since and latest was in a novice hurdle over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; still early days but this is a tough assignment and remains best watched for now.

Spotlight: Runner-up in sole Irish point but he finished a remote eighth of nine on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month; yard also runs two others.

Spotlight: Well held in two bumpers for Tom Weston in the spring, with RPRs in the 60s on both occasions; now switches to slow ground for new yard and needs lots of improvement on his hurdling debut.

Spotlight: Pulled up in his first two hurdle runs before a well-held fourth of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; had wind surgery since but this is a tough assignment and he has a lot to find.

Spotlight: Tailed off in his only point and suffered same fate at massive prices in two bumpers this autumn; can only be watched on hurdling debut.

Spotlight: Mixed results in four Irish points (7PU3) and was tailed off at a massive price on hurdling debut over C&D (soft) two weeks ago.

Spotlight: Beat only one rival in his sole bumper and same story on hurdling debut over C&D (soft: hood added) two weeks ago.
