Spotlight :
6f win at Nottingham last summer; ended his 2024 with three runner-up finishes; effective over C&D but the 166-day absence is the concern.

|
Spotlight :
Made a winning handicap debut in April 2023 (5f, soft) but he's gone backwards since then; did fare better when a close third at Newcastle three weeks ago but only five ran and he's not sure to build on it.

Spotlight :
Progressive at a low level in his first season, gaining breakthrough success over C&D in October (beat Kyber Crystal); could improve again this year but this is his first outing since November; stable also runs Ski Angel.

Spotlight :
He has dropped a long way in the weights in the last 12 months and there have been more encouraging signs at Newcastle the last twice; 0-18 on turf though and others make more appeal for win purposes.

Spotlight :
Two C&D wins in 2023; not at best on AW the last twice but she returns to her favourite track off a dangerous mark; high on the list.

Spotlight :
Won twice at Southwell (5f) in November; solid efforts on his next three starts but his form dipped at Southwell in January; unlikely to dominate this field but he's not handicapped out of things.

Spotlight :
Won twice in the second half of 2024, including C&D; returns from 135 days off on a fair mark; can get it wrong at the start but she's not ruled out with Hollie Doyle booked.

Spotlight :
Four 5f wins on good or slower, the latest of them over C&D last June off a 6lb higher mark; drying ground not sure to suit but she won on her seasonal return last May and can't be ruled out.

Spotlight :
Two AW wins in January; only seen three times on turf (all over C&D in the summer of 2023) and showed some aptitude for it; has the rail draw and the pace to hold a good early position; possibilities.

Spotlight :
Ran away with a 5f classified event at Newcastle in January and backed that up with a close third in handicap company; not at his best at Wolverhampton 19 days ago, however, and he'll do well to get to the front with Mrs Bagerran in the field.

6f AW win for Jack Channon last summer; pulled hard when a remote last of nine at Wolverhampton on last week's seasonal return; enough to prove.
