Spotlight :
Came good on the back of a gelding operation when leading towards the finish over 7f at Kempton last month; the third in that race won next time and he remains of interest after a 3lb rise, particularly as the return to 1m may see him in an even better light.

Spotlight :
Reacted well to blinkers when going down by only a neck to Apiarist (has won again since) over 1m at Chelmsford six weeks ago; no headgear this time; claims, although stall 12 could make life awkward.

Lightly raced 4yo who who was an improved second on his C&D handicap debut 22 days ago; could have more to offer and respected despite a 2lb nudge.

Spotlight :
Fifth Southwell success when seeing off nine rivals over this trip in December; backed it up when fourth of 11 over 7f here in January and shaped as if still in form when fifth of 12 in C&D 0-95 15 days ago; considered back in a lower grade.

Spotlight :
5lb lower than when dead-heating at Doncaster (7f) last summer; has hinted that he may be able to take advantage in a few of his recent starts and enters the reckoning.

Three Dundalk wins (1m twice and 10.5f) since joining Natalia Lupini but does need to bounce back from a lesser effort there last time.

Spotlight :
6f winner in 2023 but has run only three times since; latest fifth over C&D (his first attempt at 1m) shows ability remains but needed to see a bit more to be positive about his prospects here.

Spotlight :
Belatedly opened account in 7f turf novice in September; only respectable efforts in AW handicaps since, although the way she stuck on again for fourth over 7f here last Saturday suggests the return to 1m will suit.

Spotlight :
Better signs from his reduced mark this winter; did hang left under pressure when third over 7f at Wolverhampton last time but the return to 1m is likely a positive, as is Warren Fentiman's 7lb claim.

Reacted well to cheekpieces when scoring over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month but the headgear didn't work as well a second time when only seventh over C&D since.

Spotlight :
Fairly useful AW Flat winner for Richard Hughes in 2023 and placed twice over hurdles for Jamie Snowden last summer, albeit achieving barely modest form; a watching brief is advised back on the Flat for new connections after seven months off.
