Spotlight :
Ex-Dermot Weld; came good at Chelmsford in February on second attempt for new yard and close third at Kempton (again 7f on Polytrack) three weeks ago, from the rear on both occasions under Rossa Ryan but also hanging left; has a bit more to prove back at 6f but it looks like she's been held up to settle.

Spotlight :
Fourth or fifth in his five races last April-September for Alice Haynes; favourite for his stable debut here (6f) last month, having been gelded, only to blow the start and leave himself a hopeless task; interesting to see if his backers have another go.

Spotlight :
Two Wolverhampton wins this winter, coming from off the pace to lead in the final 100 yards last month over 6f; had no room in the closing stages at Newcastle six days ago and should end up in a leading role today if he gets more luck.

Spotlight :
Left David Loughnane for 1,000gns in November; never dangerous over 5f here on recent stable/handicap debut but the run caught the attention of the Stewards, who noted the rider's explanation; likely capable of a fair bit better at some point.

Spotlight :
Off the mark at the 14th attempt when narrowly landing a 6f handicap at Southwell in February; creditable third here (5f) eight days later and has stall 1 again today; firmly in the mix.

Spotlight :
Ex-Irish; yet to threaten seriously but some trouble in running played a part at Chelmsford (7f; favourite) and Southwell (6f) in her two starts for new yard; needs a second look.

Spotlight :
13 races with one win, in a handicap at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in January with first-time blinkers; they have been kept since with lesser returns, although he was a creditable third at Chelmsford (7f) on penultimate start; unraced over as short as 6f since last June but he's been a free-going front-runner throughout this year, so maybe it's worth a go; drawn wide.

Spotlight :
80-1 under Joe Bradnam for handicap debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 18 days ago but it's her most solid form, making late gains to be beaten 2l in sixth of ten after trouble in running over 1f out; has more to offer but also a wide draw.

Spotlight :
0-7 for Tom Ward and 0-5 for this yard; third at Southwell (5f) penultimate start but she does not look the percentage call; drawn wide on what's only her second race over this far, after a modest show last October.

Finished towards rear at big prices at Doncaster (6f), Southwell (6f, Tapeta) and Wolverhampton (7f, AW; made most); no solid claims but now he makes his handicap debut.

Modest at best in three novice events (6f/5f) in the autumn for David O'Meara and seventh of eight on handicap debut for new connections here (5f; 20-1, tongue tied first time) three weeks ago; lacks solid claims.
