Spotlight :
Made a successful handicap debut here (1m3f) last spring; progressive in defeat on his next three starts before ending 2024 with a low-key run on soft at York; last month's reappearance should have blown away the cobwebs and he steps up to 2m with headgear now enlisted; not fully exposed.

Spotlight :
Ended 2024 in good form over hurdles; sent off favourite for his return to the Flat at Goodwood 13 days ago (1m6f, good) but plenty went wrong and that's not the run to judge him on; yard in form and he's one to consider.

Spotlight :
Ended a losing run when winning a 2m handicap at Lingfield in January; he has found it tougher going since and takes on less-exposed rivals this evening.

Spotlight :
Did well in 2023, including an easy Chester win (2m, good) off 5lb lower; raced just three times last year, running to form only once, and he returns from ten months off with a point to prove.

Spotlight :
Did well on AW for new yard over the winter, winning over 1m6f at Southwell and 2m at Chelmsford; also ran well over C&D in February but his form dipped on turf 13 days ago; solid contender back on AW.

Spotlight :
Just three races, all at big odds and twice showing fair form (1m2f-1m4f); better is needed and the step up to 2m is something of a query (dam a sprinter);

No problem with conditions and he's run some sound races in defeat on AW this year; might find a few better treated.

Three course wins (two over this trip) in 2023; made a winning return to Flat action at Lingfield in March but ran poorly back here three weeks later; others appeal more.
