Spotlight :
Two from two for new stable, both wins over C&D; did it a shade cosily after coming from off the pace on latest occasion and is only 2lb higher today; commands respect in current mood.

Spotlight :
Unplaced all seven starts but built upon his encouraging stable debut when fourth at Wolverhampton (2m) last month, having lost ground at the start and made a big forward move from 5f out; may do better again if this race pans out more smoothly for him.

Spotlight :
Came good for Tony Carroll at second attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (1m6f) in November, and bounced back from a lesser effort when placed on his latest outing; suited by Polytrack and probably still on a workable mark; respected.

0-17 now but ended last year with three pretty good efforts, most recently when fifth behind Carlton over C&D three weeks ago; probably won't be far away.

Spotlight :
Won three times at Kempton (1m3f-1m4f) in first half of 2023 but returned from a long layoff with three down-the-field runs towards end of last year; needs to stage a revival and is not yet proven over this far.

Spotlight :
Looked suited by the step up in trip and was placed for first time in seven-race career when close third behind Carlton and Lumberjack over C&D three week ago; could plausibly have more to offer as a stayer.

Spotlight :
Runs this track well and is well handicapped on old form but has not fired on any of his four starts for Olly Williams, and the refitted cheekpieces (retained) did not appear to make much difference last time.

Spotlight :
Ended 2024 with respectable fourth at regular haunt Wolverhampton (1m6f) and is now only 1lb higher than when winning over that C&D in September; each-way claims if all goes well on first visit to Chelmsford.

Spotlight :
Won two classified races at around 1m4f on turf last summer but has found things tougher in handicaps since and has quite a bit more to prove than some in this field.

A maiden after 11 runs but has not been with Mark Usher long and ran big race before succumbing to Carlton over C&D three weeks ago; contender if similar form again.
