Spotlight :
Modest form first three starts but took a sharp step forward on Southwell (7f; 22-1) handicap debut, when pipped on the post; dropping to 6f should suit this free-running type, and his trainer has already been in the winners this week.

Spotlight :
Runner-up to a short odds favourite at Southwell (5f maiden; beaten about 5l) on second start; has failed to progress since upped in trip and switched to handicapping; eases a further 2lb in the weights with cheekpieces now applied; possibilities in a weak race.

|
Spotlight :
Consistent and off the mark at the 15th attempt when justifying favouritism at Chelmsford (6f; with Sarabi third) latest; handles Wolverhampton equally well but a 2lb rise in the weights will make life tougher from the widest draw; key player nevertheless.

Spotlight :
Seven-race maiden; no upturn in fortunes since being gelded, and no match for the first two when third over C&D (33-1; beaten approximately 4l) on penultimate start; competes from a career-low mark, and with a 7lb claimer booked.

Spotlight :
Five-race maiden; ran her best race last year on heavy at Leicester (6f; fourth of 11, 9-1); posted a low-key comeback in newly applied cheekpieces (retained) at Brighton (5.5f) three weeks ago; may strip fitter here; isn't a forlorn hope.

Spotlight :
60,000gns yearling, and a half-sister to the 7f AW winner Tawafag; hasn't shown much - peak RPR 51 - in three attempts in maiden/novice company, latterly when last of eight in a hood (now discarded) at Brighton (6f); can the switch to low-level handicapping provide a spark?

Spotlight :
Wore a first-time tongue-tie when scoring gamely over C&D (from 2lb lower) in February; mixed fortunes since, and it has to a concern that she refused to race at Ripon a fortnight ago; capable if on song but best watched at present.

Spotlight :
Failed to beat a single rival on first two starts, and fared only marginally better when seventh of 12 in a 7f maiden here (300-1) in February; gelded, and off for three months since, but does make handicap debut at an appropriate level.

Spotlight :
Eight-race maiden; wasn't far behind Woodhay Whisper at Chelmsford (6f) on penultimate start, but failed to figure at Bath having stumbled leaving the stalls and charted a wide course throughout; others preferred.
