Spotlight :
Progressed over the winter and has kicked on again for the fitting of cheekpieces, making it 3-3 in them here (9.5f) last midweek, all for Warren Fentiman; a penalty will make things tougher in a better race but he could well be up to it.

Spotlight :
Still to win after 14 starts on the AW but has had plenty of near-misses, including round here; pulled hard when turning in a rare poor effort last time and needs to bounce back from that.

Spotlight :
Remains a maiden but has chased home an improver and a subsequent winner in two starts since handicapping; latest effort can be marked up a touch too, so he's shortlisted off a mark just 1lb higher.

Spotlight :
Another improved effort over C&D three days ago, when coming clear of the rest in a race not run to suit (winner given a canny ride in front); won three in a row before that; will likely be dropped in again from the outside stall and the harder they go the better it will be for him.

Spotlight :
Hasn't won on the Flat in almost three years; this trip more suitable than 7.2f here last week but he stays a deal further and will probably need them to go hard and fall apart.

Spotlight :
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with a maiden win for Charles Hills, from whom she was picked up for 50,000gns late last year; goes in a first-time tongue-tie back from four months out.

Spotlight :
C&D winner off 2lb lower early in the year (things fell perfectly) who's gone off the boil since, including behind Paradoxical last month; will need to somewhat better last week's Southwell effort.

Spotlight :
Regressive maiden for Luke Dace; picked up for 10,000gns last autumn; the headgear comes off as he returns from five months off and Paradoxical is clearly his connections' best chance.

Spotlight :
Stays a deal further than this and has struggled since returned to the Flat (goes in a first-time hood today); may need help from the handicapper now and Enthused looks his yard's best chance.

Spotlight :
Resumes on a workable mark, having lost his way last backend, but he's a serial hard-puller who's done his winning after a recent run, so may be best watched this time.
