Spotlight :
Another short-priced defeat when second on last weekend's debut for his new yard; holds leading claims on that effort, off the same mark, but there can only be so many excuses.

Excuses with one thing and another since returned to the AW and is 5lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton early in the year; everything looks in place for a bold showing.

Spotlight :
Handicapper quick to ease off following a poor spell over shorter and he proved this trip fine when winning at Chelmsford last week; is a half-brother to two Tapeta winners and goes on the shortlist upped a fair 3lb.

Spotlight :
Another solid effort from a wide stall off his revised mark last weekend confirmed him still in good form; his three wins came over 7f, though, and he hasn't looked to see it out in a handful of attempts over further.

Spotlight :
Well handicapped now but hung right throughout, back from a second round of wind surgery, when below market expectations behind King Of Speed last time; has it to prove now from the outside stall for a yard also responsible for Heretic.

Spotlight :
Hasn't won in two years and has been kind to the bookmakers since; has frequently run well here without winning, however, and is undeniably well treated having offered more on his second run back from a break here last time.

Dual 7f winner here early in the year, latterly off a mark 12lb higher; has been patchy since returning from a summer break, latterly when behind Profitman (among the favourites) last week.

Spotlight :
Likes Wolverhampton and gained a second win there when always well positioned in an amateurs' event off 3lb lower last month; pulled hard in a messy affair at the same course five weeks ago and holds place claims.

Spotlight :
Maiden under both codes who's proved competitive since handicapping, including when chasing home King Of Speed at Wolverhampton last month; didn't look to see out 1m2f latest and is one to consider.

Spotlight :
Plenty of costly defeats for Grant Tuer before being picked up for 7,500gns in October; pulled hard in the first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces for his new yard latest and that wasn't a bad effort in the circumstances.

Spotlight :
Missed 21 months after a Newcastle win for Hugo Palmer, during which time he underwent surgery; the step back up to 1m may help, down another 2lb, but he hasn't shown enough in three runs back to be recommended.

Big prices and well held all four starts (7f) to date, including on her handicap debut seven weeks ago; would want to see some support in first-time headgear before considering her.
