Spotlight: Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie for new stable this summer, most notably when coming from off the pace for convincing C&D (good) success; not quite as good at Stratford last time and not sure to be suited by rain but remains very much of interest.

Spotlight: Unexposed 5yo who made quite promising hurdle debut when fourth at Southwell (good to soft) in February; two lesser efforts followed, and this handicap debut comes after a 172-day break, but he he might be aided by the new tongue-tie and remains open to improvement.

Spotlight: 0-7 over hurdles but ran well when third at Bangor (2m, good) in June and did not look suited by switch to very patient tactics when only sixth over C&D in July; also has form on soft ground; sports new tongue-tie; might be the answer.

Spotlight: Returned to form with hard-fought win here (2m4f, good) in May, his fifth hurdling success (three of the others were over C&D); well held back from a break at Worcester yesterday (about 5l behind Platenium).

Spotlight: Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner.

Spotlight: 1-15 over hurdles; returned from break with fairly good fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) in April but all three subsequent runs were underwhelming and he has basically become disappointing.

Spotlight: 0-5 over hurdles when based in Ireland but, following a ten-month layoff, travelled well for a long way on recent stable debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether drop to 2m pays dividends; swaps cheekpieces for first-time hood.

Spotlight: Won four in a row (two hurdles, two chases) at Sedgefield last autumn but has performed well in only one of four chases this year and needs to prove he can cope with a hurdle mark this high; best on good/good to soft.

Spotlight: Mixes hurdling with chasing nowadays and is not very consistent but his fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort and he'll cope if the ground turns soft here.

Spotlight: Still a maiden after nine hurdling starts but bettered low-key stable debut when keeping on steadily from the rear for fifth at Market Rasen and he finished a close fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) yesterday; may have more to offer.

Spotlight: Returned from break with good second over C&D (good) in May but her subsequent record is very mixed and she's now 0-20 over hurdles; tried in new cheekpieces today; would probably prefer the rain to stay away.

Spotlight: Pulled up when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in March and safely held when dropped back to 2m the following month; had wind op during five-month break and remains unexposed but significant improvement is required.

Spotlight: Fair on the Flat for Hughie Morrison; showed only minor promise on first three hurdling starts but shaped well when fourth on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March; not out of this if tuned up after break.

Spotlight: 0-10 over hurdles; ran well to a point when fourth here (2m4f, good) in June, his second start for Christian Williams, but was tailed off when dropped back to 2m at Stratford ten days ago.

Spotlight: 0-7 over hurdles; placed twice off today's mark at start of this year (1m7f/2m, good to soft) but absent since a fall in March; tongue-tie fitted for first time here.
