Spotlight :
Acts on soft; stepping up to 1m2f worked a treat at the Newmarket July festival (6lb higher today) and he was a close third of six to Flying Frontier at Sandown (1m2f, again on good) three weeks ago; respected 3yo who needs to find a bit more improvement.

Spotlight :
Good to firm ground might have been against him on penultimate start (also a bit to prove on softer than good) and he was better than ever when returned to good going at Sandown three weeks ago, getting up in the final strides in a six-runner race (Involvement a close third); 3lb higher today in a more competitive race.

Spotlight :
Listed second at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on April reappearance but soundly beaten next time (1m2f, good; unraced on softer) and mid-division on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June when last seen; gelded in July; lightly raced and not fully exposed, the dark horse of the field, but with a bit to prove too.

Spotlight :
Made pretty much all for 1m2f handicap wins at Pontefract (soft) and Epsom (good to soft; 3lb higher today) this spring; found it too tough in two Group events since but could be a lot more interesting back in this handicap.

Spotlight :
Five wins and a second from her six races since joining Marcus Tregoning, all at 1m2f-1m4f on good or good to firm (withdrawn when it was soft once last month); the last three wins were in very small fields but there's no doubt she's improving and needs respect.

Spotlight :
Usually slowly away, markedly so sometimes, but he's won at Ascot, Chepstow and Southwell on his three appearances this term; the first two of those were on good to soft (more to prove on soft) and latest on AW; up another 6lb but it's hard to rule out one who's been in the form of his life.

Spotlight :
Dropped back to 1m2f when a comfortable winner from the front on heavy going at Newmarket last November; plenty of disappointments in his record, including on both starts since that win (only one this term, in April); something of an enigma but a well-handicapped one judged on that November win.

Spotlight :
6yo whose first appearance at about 1m2f was a winning one in 15-runner race at the York Ebor meeting (good to firm) four weeks ago, leading final 1f at 25-1; won on it in the past but has not shone on softer than good in 2023 or 2024; up 5lb but this trip needs exploring further.

Spotlight :
Won consecutive 1m2f Newbury races (soft and good) in spring 2023; second at Ascot in July was clearly his best show this season until he finished strongly for second over C&D yesterday; blew the start at Goodwood in between; goes well in the mud but he's more exposed than a few of today's rivals.

Spotlight :
Eight races, the clear best efforts being his four runs on good to firm; that includes winning a maiden at Windsor (1m2f) in July and when close up in handicaps on next two starts, over C&D on second occasion; soundly beaten on soft two weeks ago, so any recent rain would be a worry.

Spotlight :
Ran well on soft last season; bled from the nose on reappearance (her only run over this far) and soundly beaten in another Listed race next time; beaten only 6l in 1m handicap at Glorious Goodwood on latest start but finished eighth of 12, so others bring more pressing claims.
