Spotlight :
Always had plenty of ability but slow starts often held him back; enjoying a new lease of life since headgear was taken off, winning here last month and then bolting up, again over 7f, last week; looks well ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty but the drop back in trip and widest stall temper enthusiasm slightly.

Spotlight :
Made a winning reappearance at Windsor one year ago (6f, good) and added a Salisbury handicap last September; placed in both AW starts here as a 2yo; feasible mark ahead of his return and he's well drawn; one for the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Belatedly took advantage of his reduced mark when making all in a 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; good fourth off this mark at Pontefract last week (5f; ridden by Mason Paetel); should remain competitive.

Spotlight :
Just one win to his name but he is still low mileage and brings a solid AW profile into the race; won fresh last April and he's high on the list despite a double-figure stall.

Spotlight :
Remains with just a 2yo novice win to his name but the pick of last season's efforts would give him good claims off his reduced mark; had wind surgery during his eight-month absence; drawn wide for his return.

Spotlight :
Progressive at a low level last autumn, winning two of his last three starts; starts this campaign off a new 8lb higher mark and this demands another career best.

Spotlight :
In good form last winter; attracted some support back from a year off at Lingfield two weeks ago but tired in the final furlong; needs to leave that behind.

Just one win to his name since August 2021; no problem with the conditions and has gone well after a break in the past; each-way shout.

Spotlight :
Veteran who has run well fresh in the past; ended 2024 with two good C&D runs but surprising if a few of today's rivals didn't have his measure.

Spotlight :
Made a fine start to her career, winning at Newcastle and Pontefract on her first two starts before finishing a good fourth at York's Dante meeting; in and out afterwards before changing hands for 16,000gns last October; still has potential for her new yard but will be found easier openings than this.

Not at her best on final two starts last year and she returns to action in a warm event; others are more appealing.

Thrown in on his 3yo form and even last year's best would give him claims off this mark; 202-day absence to contend with though and goes without headgear.
