Spotlight: In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive.

Spotlight: Low-mileage 4yo who showed career-best form in last two appearances, winning well at Windsor (1m2f) then solid second at Yarmouth (11.5f), both on soft ground; may be capable of further progress; respected.

Spotlight: Disappointing favourite in June when bidding to take record for new yard to 3-3 (hurdles/Flat); however, gave impression this drop back in distance may prove beneficial; ran well in Ludlow novice hurdle yesterday.

Spotlight: Only 1-19 but gained the win at Doncaster (1m) and is threatening to double her tally, having finished a close second (including over 1m2f) in four of last five starts; possibilities if taking well to blinkers (replacing the cheekpieces worn last time).

Spotlight: Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start.

Spotlight: 3yo maiden whose sole attempt over 1m2f and only turf start this year resulted in her peak performance, namely second at Ayr (heavy) on penultimate outing; interesting back in same scenario.

Spotlight: Attractively treated on best form but just isn't taking advantage of dropping in the weights and losing run is mounting up; steps back up to 1m2f for first time in over two years.

Spotlight: Losing sequence goes back to his success in this contest three years ago (heavy ground); the 9yo is currently in a consistent vein of form and can't be totally dismissed off current mark back here.

Spotlight: Returns to his usual trip after finding 7.5f too short last time; however, perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there; visits Doncaster for the first time.

Spotlight: Four-race maiden who has failed to back up debut effort; never figured in C&D handicap most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

Spotlight: Record of 0-6 since debut success but he ran encouragingly, keeping-on fourth, in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) on penultimate start; could go well if taking to first-time headgear.

Spotlight: Eight-race maiden who has inconsistent form; belied his 50-1 odds with second-place finish at Haydock (1m2f) most recently but isn't sure to back up that effort, let alone go one better.

Spotlight: Not solid on his form (three attempts) for new yard but was awarded this year's Spring Mile, having suffered interference, in sole Doncaster attempt (now 9lb lower); yet to win over 1m2f.

Spotlight: Not particularly solid on his form (three attempts) for new stable and is 0-5 on turf, with both wins on AW; on a reduced mark but isn't the percentage call.

Spotlight: Six-race maiden; not solid on 2025 form but should benefit from the drop back in trip, having looked a non-stayer over 1m6f at Nottingham yesterday (stable debut).
