Spotlight :
A winning margin of a neck masks the superiority of his 7f Kempton win 17 days ago; never raced at 6f but the manner of the latest effort suggests it's well worth exploring; 2lb rise looks manageable; good chance.

Spotlight :
C&D win last month; beaten three times since and although still low mileage, she will need the new cheekpieces to give her a lift.

Spotlight :
C&D win off this mark in August; solid third behind an easy winner at Chelmsford nine days ago (rare run without headgear); shouldn't be far away with a repeat.

Won four times in the first half of the year; yet to get going this winter but he's 10lb below his last winning mark and a revival could be around the corner.

Spotlight :
Dropped right out over 7f at Lingfield last month (sent off the 5-2 favourite) and needs to bounce back but that's quite possible given his overall profile; his improvement in handicaps has come over 7f+ but he's not short of pace and new, more severe headgear could help.

Spotlight :
Yet to win this year but he's down in the weights and his last three runs have been more encouraging; likely he'll need the pace to collapse to win but he holds each-way claims.

Spotlight :
Won twice at Newcastle (5f) around the turn of last year and he has added turf wins at Catterick (5f, heavy) and Thirsk (6f, good to soft) since; solid effort at Catterick when last seen in October; should go well back on Tapeta.

Spotlight :
0-12 on AW and she failed to back up last month's fair fourth over C&D when only seventh here two weeks ago; vulnerable for win purposes.

Spotlight :
Best effort this year came over C&D (August) but this veteran hasn't won for over four years and he needs to bounce back from a couple of poor 7f runs; hood replaces usual blinkers today.

7f win at Kempton in March when trained by Richard Hannon; down the field in two runs for Tony Carroll in June; returns from a break over a new, shorter trip; plenty to prove.

Three-time turf winner but she hasn't shone in either AW run, the latest when checking out tamely over 5f at Newcastle 16 days ago; others are more appealing.

On a dangerous mark on last season's best (trained by Tim Easterby) but he's only beaten two rivals home in five starts for his current stable.
