Spotlight :
Losing run stands at 14 and he's flattered to deceive a few times since his last success; kept on well from the back over C&D three weeks ago and no doubt he's capable of featuring now dropping into a Class 4 for the first time since January 2021.

Spotlight :
Comes here at the top of his game, winning three of his last four starts (C&D the last twice); creeping up the weights but today's rider knows him well and there is no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again.

Spotlight :
Near misses at Chelmsford and over C&D in late 2024; drawn wide when below that level at Wolverhampton in November; dangerous if returning from a break at his best.

Spotlight :
Both wins have come over 6f at Newcastle and it was over that C&D that he ran a fine race for third four weeks ago, poorly positioned in a race that developed into a 3f sprint; ran the fastest sectional in the race for each of the last four furlongs and it's hard to believe he can't win races off this mark in a more conventionally run event; Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; strong contender.

|
Spotlight :
Returned from 448 days on the sidelines to make a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in December; more positive tactics didn't work when second at Lingfield 19 days ago and he remains feasibly weighted on his old form; should go well again.

Spotlight :
Promising 2yo; suffered a truncated 3yo campaign but he twice ran to a useful level, including over C&D; has undergone wind surgery since last seen 221 days ago; type to do well this year and he's tried in a hood for the first time; betting to guide.

Spotlight :
Three C&D wins this winter and weighted to reverse last month's placings with Many A Star; failed to fire at Newcastle last week but the return to this track can help; usually misses the break.

Spotlight :
Prominent racer who has won three handicaps since joining Ruth Carr; he's been running over further but he had useful form at this trip in his youth; not discounted.

Spotlight :
Went 0-24 last year but ran numerous good races in defeat; returns to action off his lowest mark for some time but the stable may hold stronger claims with Cairn Gorm.
