Spotlight: Out of a mare who won a bumper, and he made a really encouraging debut when readily accounting for six rivals at Doncaster (soft; 5-2 favourite; by 10l) in January; open to improvement and high on the list for a trainer-jockey combination that won this race 12 months ago.

Spotlight: Showed promise on debut over C&D and duly progressed to beat 13 opponents at Kempton (good to soft) last month, travelling well and just shaken up to assert; major player for a trainer with a fine record in this sphere.

Spotlight: Half-brother to the high-class jumper Romeo Coolio; got up late on to make winning debut at Wincanton in November and improved markedly when third in Listed race at Cheltenham (good ground) on New Year's Day; yard does well in bumpers and won this race in 2023; has to be considered.

Spotlight: Couldn't justify favouritism but still shaped well when second of 14 at Wincanton (good to soft) last month, no extra late on; likely to improve and gets weight from most of her rivals; leading player for in-form yard.

Spotlight: E37,000 2yo; No Risk At All half-brother to French 2m hurdle winner Lady Du Chenet; dam maiden jumper, half-sister to useful French 2m1f/2m2f hurdle winner Hotesse Du Chenet; yard has hit the target in bumpers of late with limited ammunition (6-30 in last five seasons); interesting on paper.

Spotlight: Built significantly on debut form when winning at Chepstow (soft; 13-2) in January by 15l, always in front and surging clear from over 1f out; today's conditions are likely to be less testing but he should still put up another bold show.

Spotlight: Much better effort so far when fifth in Listed event at Cheltenham (soft) in November, fading after racing freely; looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings but he doesn't have much to find on form and may progress further.

Spotlight: £19,000 3yo; Jack Hobbs half-brother to winners Marie De Medicis (French 1m), Wor Willie (1m4f/1m6f) and Dolly McQueen (1m3f); dam 1m4f winner; trainer has few runners these days but remains a force to be reckoned with (3-10 in last five seasons) in bumpers.

Spotlight: £54,000 3yo; brother to French 2m1f/2m3f hurdle winner Iban Roque; dam French 1m4f AQPS Flat and 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner; needs watching in the market with Alan King (16% in bumpers in recent years) running two.

Spotlight: £15,000 3yo; by Getaway out of a bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; that's a plausible pedigree for a race like this, and her stable's only previous runner in Britain this season (Saratoga in last week's Fred Winter) was successful; well worth a market check.

Spotlight: £55,000 3yo; Nathaniel half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Blue Run; dam 2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful bumper and 3m/3m1f hurdle winner Lord Generous, out of top-class hurdler Lady Rebecca; bred to be useful and mainly Flat stable has had plenty of bumper winners over the years; could be the pick of the newcomers.

Spotlight: Debut winner at Wincanton (good) but blotted his copybook with a wayward display in C&D Listed event (heavy; 17-2) six weeks ago and needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Unbeaten at Bangor (good) and Stratford (good to firm) last summer; may still be unexposed but he concedes weight all round and has plenty to find on the figures after seven months off.

Spotlight: Dug deep to make winning start at Carlisle (good to soft; 4-1) in February; however, that form doesn't look anything special and he'll need to progress to hold his own against today's much stronger opposition.

Spotlight: Nicely bred daughter of Telescope; did her best work late on when 10l fourth of 13 at Warwick (good to soft; 11-2) four months ago; improvement required to trouble some of these but that's not out of the question.

Spotlight: £20,000 3yo; by Passing Glance; brother to bumper/2m3f hurdle winner Glancing Jack; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winner; stable has maintained a well-above-average strike-rate in bumpers (33%) this season; can't be discounted.

Spotlight: Only seventh of nine on debut at Ascot (good to soft; 6-1) last month, but she wasn't beaten far in bunch finish after meeting trouble in steadily run race; no surprise if she improves a fair bit with more luck.

Spotlight: £45,000 3yo; by Order Of St George; dam useful 1m7f-2m1f hurdle winner; would have to be useful to make a winning start in a race with plenty of depth, but she's in good hands and it's not impossible.

Spotlight: £26,000 3yo; by Order Of St George; dam bumper winner; pulled up on his only go in points but interesting that connections throw him in at the deep end for rules debut; worth monitoring in the market.

Spotlight: Fits the bill on pedigree (by Walk In The Park out of a bumper/2m hurdle winner) but he made no impact on debut at Kempton (good to soft; 22-1) four weeks ago; needs to have learned a lot in a short space of time.
