Spotlight :
Tumbled down the weights since coming over from France, his best effort coming on Tapeta in February; finished well held back on turf last time but this is a bit easier down another 2lb under a jockey who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company.

Spotlight :
Three C&D wins for Mikkel Mortensen last summer, latterly off a 2lb higher mark, and arrives in good form; cracked late over 1m here last time and holds leading claims back over his optimum trip for a yard also responsible for Golden Pharaoh.

Spotlight :
Has done a lot of his recent racing in sprints but is fine over 7f and has run well (finished second) in three previous starts here; often fluffs the start and has little room for manoeuvre off this mark but will find this a bit easier back on turf.

Spotlight :
Usually runs well round here and returns to turf on a career-low mark (13lb lower than when fourth in this race last spring); has always been happier on the AW and is into the veteran stage but remains capable at this level.

Spotlight :
Returns to turf on a career-low mark after a few lesser efforts on Polytrack and it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back in a first-time visor (ran well for a hood, then cheekpieces, first going on in his James Fanshawe days).

Spotlight :
125-1 Lingfield winner for regular partner Isobelle Chalmers last autumn; isn't the easiest but this course should be fine on her turf debut and she's more than capable, despite being 3lb out of the handicap.

Spotlight :
Four-time course winner but mainly over 1m on slower ground; finished last season on a downswing and didn't offer much behind Shaw Park on his comeback here, so he's hard to enthuse about under these conditions despite decent stable form.

Spotlight :
Allowed her own way in a small field when winning at Chelmsford for Michael Bell in January off a 2lb lower mark; will need to improve on previous turf efforts for her new yard (picked up for 10,500gns) back from a few months off.
