Spotlight :
Won at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a first win in Britain at the 11th attempt and he had just a head to spare in a lower grade than today, but back up just 2lb he remains well treated on last season's best efforts; seems versatile ground-wise; not discounted.

Spotlight :
Often ran well last season (wins on good to firm and soft) and, having been gelded, he returned with a career best to win the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) in April; bounced back from lesser run in the Victoria Cup with good third at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last time; could be thereabouts.

Spotlight :
Underwhelming in the main over the last 12 months but back on song to make all in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last month (1m, good; his first handicap); off this 3lb higher mark he remains well treated on his old form (Group 2 winner in 2023); has run well on good to soft; can make another bold bid.

Spotlight :
Added to last year's five wins when scoring at Chester (7.5f, good) four weeks ago; he had the rail draw that day at a track where he is now 2-2, and he's up 5lb to a career-high mark today, but this progressive 6yo won this 12 months ago in a bigger field (good to soft) and warrants respect.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced 4yo who showed improved form to win by a length and a half over C&D (good) in April on his reappearance; from out of the handicap he's 7lb higher today but his pedigree provides optimism that he'll have more left in the tank, and he's in calculations.

Spotlight :
Won two in a row on heavy ground at Goodwood (1m1f/1m) last autumn and reappeared with a respectable eighth in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; he may have improved for that outing and could be a contender if getting his preferred slow ground (the softer the better).

Spotlight :
Four AW wins in February/March (7f-9.4f) and returned to turf with creditable third of 14 at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; also effective here and has shown promise on slow ground; latest form reads well; one to consider.

Spotlight :
9yo who has been beaten on his last 20 starts going back to August 2023 but he frequently runs well and has finished second at Newmarket the last twice (bumped into much improved winner when beaten 6l last time); didn't enjoy a clear run when fair seventh in this last year; has an each-way shout.

Spotlight :
Won the Lincoln Handicap (1m, soft) in March 2024 off 2lb lower; his claims would be boosted by lots of rain but he's been unable to threaten on his four starts since that prestigious win at Doncaster.

Spotlight :
0-13 since winning her first two starts and below par in Listed races on final two outings last season; however, she's on a competitive mark judged on last summer's Group-race form (good to soft-good to firm), including a creditable fourth in the Princess Elizabeth over C&D; not ruled out.
