Spotlight :
Two C&D wins this time last year, the second off 8lb higher; has been through a slow spell but was well supported before keeping on into fourth of 12 here last time; closely involved.

Spotlight :
All five wins here and back to form of late; his recent C&D success was just a narrow one but he had a little up his sleeve and it isn't his style to win by wide margins (all bar one win by less than 1l); back up 2lb; can give it a solid shot.

Spotlight :
Not yet off the mark but she's run some good races over C&D and would have gone close here 12 days ago (closely matched with Pessoa) but for late interference; the lack of a win is not ideal but can be involved.

Spotlight :
Ordinary form over a variety of trips for Gordon Elliott, last seen when fading over 1m2f on Dundalk AW in November; no strong credentials for new trainer.

Spotlight :
Maiden; unproven on Tapeta, a previous attempt being at 1m4f, but she was in the firing line 1f out over 1m on Chelmsford Polytrack recently and the drop to 7f can suit her better; interesting contender.

Spotlight :
Close up on second start, in 1m Chelmsford novice in August; ran no race there on handicap debut in December but she would have finished closer but for some interference over C&D since and isn't one to give up on.

Spotlight :
Multiple winner but it's many months since he's shown his old spark; however, this is his first C&D run since successful in July off 7lb higher so a revival wouldn't be beyond comprehension.

Spotlight :
Comes into it on her third of 12 over C&D in October (first-time blinkers, retained) but unable to sustain effort from the front at Kempton after and finished lame back here last month; chance on the October run.

Spotlight :
Winning yard debut in 7f classified event in August (first-time cheekpieces) but has more to prove on subsequent handicap efforts, including over 6f on Newcastle Tapeta, now back from a break.

Spotlight :
Sole win in 7f Lingfield handicap in early 2023; minor form for this yard and although there was the glimmer of a revival over C&D on Boxing Day it wasn't enough of one to fancy him for win purposes.

Spotlight :
Beaten hefty distances for this yard at 1m-1m4f and although the return to 7f is worth a go, and he's dropped to a lowly mark, this does look competitive for the level; others preferred.
