5:20 Newmarket Going Good / Distance - 1m 1f

Pool Value: £197.32

With the topweight rated 84 this isn't a strong renewal of this 0-95 handicap. Lightening Mann is still up in class though and could prove vulnerable despite no trip/ground/wellbeing concerns. Sir Paul Ramsey appeals as a likely improver this year and can go well, while Watching Stars (second choice) should be happier now stepping back up in trip. MERCHANT has shown promise at around a mile but this trip should suit and he can take another step forward on this handicap debut.[Paul Smith]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (7)	Naina Christian Howarth / J Ryan	3yrs / 9st 9lb 61186- Spotlight	90	28/1		11.60
Naina Four wins as a 2yo, all over 7f and two of them at the Newmarket tracks; best on good or slower though so drying ground not ideal; encouragement for this trip on pedigree but yet to run over further than 7f.
2 (4)	Watching Stars W Buick / C Appleby	3yrs / 9st 8lb 4413-4 Spotlight	91	11/4	7.00	2.50
Watching Stars Improved with each of his first three 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Thirsk in September (7f, good to soft); looked to find 1m an inadequate test here on his reappearance 17 days ago (first run since a gelding operation) and can do better over today's longer trip.
3 (6)	Merchant Tom Marquand / W J Haggas	3yrs / 9st 7lb 721- Spotlight	64	5/4	1.10	1.10
Merchant Improved run by run as a 2yo, just failing against a promising sort at Newcastle in December (albeit had the benefit of experience) before winning at Wolverhampton 128 days ago (8.6f); stepping up in trip should prompt improvement and this isn't a strong race for the grade; leading claims.
4 (5)	Hallelujah U Harry Davies / James Owen	3yrs / 9st 4lb 651-3 Spotlight	90	9/1	13.20	1.90
Hallelujah U Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a 1m novice at Southwell in November; third of five over C&D on his handicap debut last month, outpaced 2f out before staying on; improvement required for the fastest ground he will have tackled.
5 (2)	General Admission Oisin Murphy / A M Balding	3yrs / 9st 3lb 2-424 Spotlight		10/1	47.90	2.30
General Admission Four runs in AW maiden/novice events over 7f and 1m, finishing second on two occasions; switch to turf handicaps could spark improvement but his pedigree doesn't suggest he's crying out for the new trip.
6 (1)	Sir Paul Ramsey Callum Shepherd / C Johnston	3yrs / 9st 2lb 354- Spotlight	86	18/1	52.00	11.60
Sir Paul Ramsey Didn't progress from a promising Doncaster debut (7f, good to soft) in two subsequent runs last summer; gelded during his nine-month absence and pedigree points to this longer trip prompting improvement; considered.
7 (3)	Lightening Mann Rossa Ryan / J Channon	3yrs / 9st 2lb 75-123 Spotlight	93	6/1	20.30	5.80
Lightening Mann Capitalised on a good opportunity at Lingfield on his seasonal return (1m, AW; gelded after 2yo career); placed in both runs in 1m2f handicaps since and on a feasible mark; this represents a step up in class though.
