Spotlight: 0-6 but runner-up three times, including when beaten half a length at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) six days ago; that proved his stamina and a major player from the same mark.

Spotlight: May have been fortunate to make a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month and is now 4lb higher, but as that was only his fourth start he remains open to improvement; considered.

Spotlight: 0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist.

Spotlight: Winner of 13 races (including one over C&D) and scored by a head on his latest outing at Bath (1m, good to firm); only 2lb higher and although he could have been better drawn, still makes the shortlist.

Spotlight: Losing run up to 13, but he went close at Thirsk (7f, soft) on his penultimate outing; not so good at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last time, but is back off the same mark as for the Thirsk effort; shortlisted.

Spotlight: 0-21 since arriving in Britain; now a stone lower than when third of eight on stable debut over C&D in March, but although he has shown nothing like the same form since he was sent off just 9-2 for this latest start, suggesting better was expected; interesting.

Spotlight: C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal.

Spotlight: 0-8; best effort was when second of 11 in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) in July, but his efforts in handicaps since leave plenty to be desired.

Spotlight: Dual AW winner who gained his first win on turf at Brighton (7f, good to firm) in May; not matched that form in three starts since and still 4lb higher; more needed.

Spotlight: Not at his best in two starts since returning in August and makes his stable debut (same owner) after 59 days off; back off the same mark as when winning at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) just over a year ago, but he has an awkward draw.

Spotlight: 2-24 on turf but 10-50 on the AW and has been running consistently well on artificial surfaces for some time now; still on a fair mark, but is drawn a bit wider than ideal; stable also runs Sedgemoor.

Spotlight: Lost his way after making a successful handicap debut for Richard Hannon at Haydock (7f, good) in June 2024; ran well on stable debut after eight months off at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in August, but has gone backwards again since; best watched for now.

Spotlight: Won twice over 1m on Tapeta at the start of the year (including here), but has steadily regressed since; may need this after four months off and could probably do with another furlong in any case.

Spotlight: C&D winner who is back off the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in January; has won after a lengthy absence so the 227-day layoff not the end of the world, but the outside stall is a real dampener.
