Spotlight :
All three runs have been on good ground; plenty of promise on debut and he's since run twice over 1m2f at Newbury, disappointingly on first occasion (scoped wrong) but winning by a head in ten-runner maiden last time; this handicap debut demands more but he should still bring potential.

Spotlight :
Carries his head rather high; made all in Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) in January on third start; good second of six on turf/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in March and not discredited when third of six at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; that suggests he's vulnerable but cheekpieces go on and his trainer has been one to note in this race.

Spotlight :
Two from two in novice events last term (one on soft) and creditable placed efforts in 1m2f/1m handicaps on both starts this season; may still do better but the return to this trip isn't guaranteed to help as settling him is still something of an issue.

Six races on AW and two on good ground; progressive in 1m2f handicaps, leading 1f out for a tidy win in nine-runner race at Chester last Saturday; up 5lb but experienced and respected.

Spotlight :
Runner-up on first three starts last term; below form in a 1m1f nursery on soft on final 2yo outing; gelded soon afterwards and also had his tongue tied when reappearing in a ten-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, good) five weeks ago, travelling strongly in rear and coming through to win in taking fashion; it may be too early for ground concerns and 6lb rise probably underestimates what he is capable of; big chance if the ground is okay.

Spotlight :
Pretty useful in his three novice events (won debut); disappointing favourite on handicap debut at Newmarket (again 1m on good) five weeks ago but gelded since and looks bred far more for this sort of trip; a marked step forward may be possible.

Spotlight :
1m2f for all three starts and made the running; promising debut at Beverley (good) was followed by a maiden win at Chelmsford (AW) but he edged left when fractionally first past the post at 4-11 in a novice at Lingfield (good to firm) 18 days ago and was demoted; still looks the sort to do better and this looks a reasonable opening handicap mark.

Registered a novice win at Ascot (7f, soft) last September but hasn't beaten a rival in his three outings since; tailed off at 40-1 in a 1m2f handicap on good to firm last time; connections reach for cheekpieces.

Has had 14 races already, winning three of his seven AW handicaps (up to 1m4f, all Tapeta) and bang there in the others; however, no show at 33-1 when back to turf at Sandown (1m2f, good) on latest outing.

Spotlight :
Below form all three starts since winning a valuable series final at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last September; making most in the three-runner Lingfield Oaks Trial on reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs and she may prove effective over this trip, but marked improvement is needed.
