Spotlight :
Eyecatching debut for Pam Sly when fourth to Dark Thirty at Doncaster 16 days ago (6f, good), doing best of the stands' side group; has the ability to feature off a good mark but he isn't straightforward (often races too freely) and possible he would prefer slower ground too.

Spotlight :
Always on the pace when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; gelded prior to this year's reappearance and he showed plenty of pluck in seeing off 18 rivals at Doncaster (6f, good); 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Spotlight :
Progressed well in the second half of 2024 and he's a shade unfortunate not to have won both starts this year, finishing off well at Kempton last month and then picked off close home at Southwell nine days ago; fast turf no problem and he's a leading contender; yard also run Dark Thirty.

Spotlight :
Tough 2yo; bright start to her 3yo campaign, winning at this meeting before adding another C&D success one month later; ran fine races in defeat in two hot 5f handicaps at Ascot afterwards before turning in a rare disappointing effort at Ayr's Western meeting (Listed race; sent off favourite); 3-3 on the Rowley course and can go well fresh; should go well.

Spotlight :
Promising when winning both his 2yo starts; proved expensive to follow in his early races last year but he was fitted with blinkers prior to winning at Windsor in August and he followed that up by seeing off 18 rivals in a hot race at York's Ebor meeting; surprising if there isn't more to come from him this year but the absence of headgear is a slight concern; stable also represented by More Thunder.

Spotlight :
Showed a useful level of ability in his first season of racing for Sir Michael Stoute, winning a 1m2f novice at Nottingham last May and in the money in his next three starts (including both handicaps); still has considerable potential and intriguing that he's being dropped markedly in trip by his new trainer (dam a 6f Listed winner); market useful in relation to stablemate Elmonjed.

Spotlight :
6f win as a 2yo; raced only at 5f last year, winning handicaps at Newcastle (reappearance) and Pontefract and finishing a fine second at York's Dante meeting; still has few miles on the clock and he's one to consider.

Spotlight :
Chased home Woodhay Wonder in the 3yo handicap at this meeting 12 months ago; made good progress thereafter, winning at Windsor and the July course in June (both 6f on good to firm) before rounding off his season with a close fifth behind Elmonjed back at Windsor in August; he will need to progress again to take this but conditions will suit and he's only had ten runs so it's plausible.

Spotlight :
Second in this race in 2023 before winning the big sprint handicap at the Guineas meeting so the course will hold no fears; unplaced in both runs back from a long absence this year but both have offered encouragement; becoming well treated but suspicion he would prefer slower ground.

Spotlight :
Yet to win a handicap but he's slipped to a dangerous mark and continues to leave the impression a bigger run could be forthcoming; promising on fast turf as a 2yo and the removal of the hood he has been sporting could help; one to consider.

Not as good as he was but he scored at Yarmouth in September (eyeshields first time) and wasn't beaten far off this mark at Southwell when last seen; stable also run Indian Run.

Spotlight :
Group 3 win as a 2yo (7f, good to firm); struggled badly last year but he wouldn't be the first horse with his profile to rediscover his touch as a 4yo; sold out of Eve Johnson Houghton's for 40,000gns in October and gelded; new yard quick to return him to sprint trips and it will be interesting to see if there's any market support; owners also represented by Dark Thirty.
