Spotlight :
From a useful French family and made a pleasing debut at Chelmsford last November, given he was forced round the houses and clearly needed the experience; holds leading claims on his comeback.

Spotlight :
Debut third last backend (soft) has been well advertised since, as has his subsequent C&D second; helps set the standard, back from five months off in first-time cheekpieces, but might have been better drawn.

Spotlight :
Gelded £135,000 yearling who's a brother to Bonny Angel and Another Gift, both of whom improved plenty with racing; this looks deeper than the C&D novice in which he made his debut a fortnight ago but there was plenty to like about that opening effort.

Spotlight :
Gelded 750,000gns yearling who's a half-brother to five winners, notably Al Suhail (Group 2), Telecaster (Group 2) and Mistral Star (Listed); slightly surprising to see him setting out in a sprint on debut (well drawn; goes in a hood).

Spotlight :
250,000gns yearling who's the first foal of three-time 6f winner, at up to Group 2 level, Royal Intervention; well drawn and a likely looking newcomer (goes in a hood) for a powerful yard.

Spotlight :
Gelded newcomer whose yard is still to get rolling for the year; half-brother Rawaasi gained his sole win over 8.6f and he too may want more of a test in due course.

Spotlight :
Dam won over 1m6f and she drops back from 1m for today's AW debut, returning from eight months off; whether she'll have the pace for this from the outside stall is the question and maybe handicaps will be her thing.

Spotlight :
Gelded half-brother to the yard's useful sprinter Desperate Hero, who improved significantly with age, and their fair handicapper Whistledown (they also saddle Crestofdistinction); drawn wide on debut and probably best watched.

Gelded £78,000 yearling who's a brother to the yard's Commander Straker and a half-brother to Nuevo Slovo (both 5f 2yo turf winners); this looks a tough introduction.

Spotlight :
Chelmsford debut fourth last autumn came in a weak maiden and he was below market expectations in one more start over C&D; likely there's improvement in him but maybe over a bit further once handicapping after today.

Finished beaten a long way on his C&D debut a fortnight ago and can't be fancied on that, with Rapper's Delight clearly his yard's best chance.

Spotlight :
Gelded £40,000 yearling who was 33-1 for a C&D novice on his debut a fortnight ago, when well held; trainer doesn't have a great record with 3yos here (also runs Rapper's Delight and Sprinter); likely best watched again.
