Two-time course winner THE SPOTLIGHT KID ran well in a higher grade here last time and earns the vote ahead of Triggered, who went close in a big field at Chelmsford most recently. Bold Suitor and El Hibri could also be involved.[Ben Hutton]

His sole win (from 16 attempts) was in November 2023 and his form this winter was patchy; however, he was a fair fifth at Wolverhampton when last seen and he's well treated on last autumn's exploits here; not ruled out.
Eight-time course winner who is 12lb lower than when a close third over C&D last September; a market check is advised but this 10yo has struggled this year (including here) and is without a win since April 2022.
Went off the boil slightly in December/January on her last two starts but in good form over C&D previously, posting a win in October, and she's not discounted on this return from a break.
Won two in a row here (1m/7f) last November and some good runs since, most recently fair fourth in a 0-68 here; drops back into a 0-60 today and could be thereabouts if taking to the visor (replacing cheekpieces).
9yo who has been beaten 18 times since his last win in October 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and was a neck second of 15 at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time; a return to winning ways could be imminent.
His wins have come over 6f (one here) and he didn't really shine on last year's three attempts at 7f; however, he's kept on well for second over 6f here on two of his last three starts and is worth another go at this trip.
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March and good second there next time (7f), before racing freely in front when fourth there most recently (7f); has won here and can be bang there if settling better than last time.
Her dam showed useful form when winning over C&D and this 4yo is very lightly raced, but she's been well beaten on all three starts, most recently when 66-1 for her handicap debut over 1m here.
Disappointing in the main since winning in October 2023 on second start; however, he ran well when fourth at Southwell (1m Tapeta) four weeks ago and shaped as though this drop back to 7f could be a positive; possible player provided the absence of the hood (worn the last twice) isn't a negative.
Returned to form with close fourth in Lingfield classified (1m2f, Polytrack) last time, when losing two places close home; however, he's without a win since August 2023 and it remains to be seen whether he'll back up that latest performance now back in a handicap; drops back 3f in trip.
Very lightly raced 4yo who makes handicap debut off a basement mark and she's one to keep an eye on in the betting but she hasn't shown much across her first three starts (6f/1m) and improvement is required.
