Spotlight :
Competitive last year in 7f/1m handicaps on ground ranging from heavy to good; failed to settle on Sandown return and ran okay in the circumstances; usually held up (can be slowly away) so always reliant upon having a good pace to chase.

Spotlight :
Second at Newmarket on the drop back to 7f and that was his best run yet for current yard and in this headgear combination; this should be more his trip and he's on a workable mark.

Spotlight :
10lb lower than when runner-up in the Golden Mile over C&D at last year's Glorious fixture (good to firm) and was placed in that same race the season before (on soft); a little below par so far this campaign but back here he commands plenty of attention.

Spotlight :
AW novice winner who has had plenty of chances in handicaps but he's been bang there in both his runs for Tony Carroll, latterly over 1m at Windsor; seems fine on all ground.

Spotlight :
Won her novice here over C&D last summer on good ground; 0-11 otherwise but lurks on a tempting mark and her AW reappearance was encouraging given she was slowly away which is unlike her; has no ground preferences.

Spotlight :
Four wins on good to soft or slower last year; hasn't built on a likeable reappearance but he's likely to be back on easier ground here and that's a big positive.

A better horse on the AW and he narrowly fended off Serenity Dream over Kempton's 7f on penultimate start; only fourth at Salisbury, though, and others appeal more.

Spotlight :
1m2f looks too far which would excuse his latest run, and his effort at Epsom the time before was passable; this mark looks a fair reflection of where he is right now but can see him going well, as all ground comes alike.

Spotlight :
No better than fifth in five runs for this yard but has run well enough to believe he retains some of his old ability; mark continues to fall and he'll pop up some day.

Has only won twice and stuck on a losing run; if he's going to snap that sequence it will probably be on the AW.

Has been having a ball on the AW this year but turf form is nothing like so convincing and he was always out the back at Newbury three weeks ago.

Won over a bit shorter at Chester for Hugo Palmer in September and then sold on for 8,000gns; hasn't featured in either run for this yard and a tongue-tie now joins the visor he's been wearing of late.
