Spotlight: String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand.

Spotlight: Related to a few useful winners, including on Tapeta; not much has gone right since a Polytrack win over 1m in the winter and better can be expected at this lower level and back up in distance, so is one to consider.

Spotlight: Off the boil since finishing second off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February but he's been running in sprints latterly; this is easier than he's used to and he ought to fare much better back from a short break.

Spotlight: Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale.

Spotlight: Plenty of near-misses round here to go with his sole win (9.5f), and remains consistent and on a fair mark; can pull hard and may well be dropped in from stall 13, in which case he'll need some luck.

Spotlight: Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off.

Spotlight: Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; will want a good test over this trip round here and hasn't been at his best on grass lately.

Spotlight: Enjoyed a successful winter on Tapeta at a lowly level and is back on a workable mark; again didn't look to quite see out 9.5f here three weeks ago; may well be dropped in from a wide stall.

Spotlight: Wildly inconsistent for the Crisford yard and his current trainer; one of his better efforts back on turf last time but he's no certainty to build on it and his four previous efforts on Tapeta were ordinary.

Spotlight: Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold.

Spotlight: Dual soft-ground winner for Michael Appleby in 2024 but it's been downhill since returning from almost a year off, with plenty of poor efforts at short prices to his name; said to have been unsuited by Chepstow's undulations last time; this is easier down 3lb.

Spotlight: Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap.

Spotlight: Limited maiden for William Haggas and changed hands last autumn for 6,000gns; off for five months since hanging right (not for the first time) over 9.5f here for new yard and is now tried in headgear for the first time.
