Spotlight :
C&D win on his 2yo debut; ended losing run when scrambling home at Chester last August (blinkered first time); has the rail draw and can go well fresh, so not discounted with Oisin Murphy a positive booking.

Spotlight :
Notoriously tricky to win with but there's no doubting his ability and he won the big sprint on this card back in 2022; close third over C&D on Sunday having found plenty of trouble; shouldn't be far away.

Spotlight :
Picked off late by Only Spoofing over C&D on Sunday; 4lb better off for a short head today but he's not so well drawn this time; others appeal more.

Spotlight :
Three 5f wins last year, one on Tapeta and the other two on testing ground at Hamilton; could prove vulnerable on a sounder surface back from six months off.

Spotlight :
Well into the veteran stage but he retains lots of enthusiasm and he enhanced his fine C&D record when beating six of today's rivals to win last Sunday; picked up impressively once seeing daylight and can confirm his superiority despite the revised weights.

Spotlight :
Won five times last year, including C&D, and although she has been unplaced in both runs this time around she was unable to show what she could do here on Sunday having run into several dead ends; capable if the gaps appear.

Spotlight :
Prominent racer who won twice on turf last September; in and out on AW this winter but he's slipped down the weights and the return of cheekpieces can help back on turf; should go well in a race in which the majority like to come from off the pace.

Spotlight :
C&D win off 3lb lower last summer; shaped as though the run was needed when last of eight here 17 days ago; better than that and could leave it well behind; stable also runs Zarzyni.

Spotlight :
Veteran who hasn't won as often as he should for one of his undoubted ability; on a reduced mark now and last Sunday's run, his first for 173 days, should have freshened him up; others look stronger for the win.

Spotlight :
Another in the field who needs things to fall just right but he made a pleasing return to turf over C&D on Sunday, meeting a bit of traffic when initially launching his challenge and also caught towards the middle of the track; capable off this mark if the gaps appear.

Spotlight :
Won four 5f handicaps last year, two of them over C&D; 2lb rise for her last-gasp win here in November pushes her into a higher grade; not ideally drawn and others appeal more.

Well beaten on Sunday's seasonal return and, as on that occasion, she's not fared well with the draw; stable has stronger claims elsewhere.
