Spotlight: Just failed, beaten a nose at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on penultimate start; cheekpieces now applied after displaying an awkward head-carriage when a beaten favourite (fourth) at Carlisle since.

Spotlight: Poor form since a gelding operation until running a rock-solid race from the front at Catterick (7f, good; runner-up to Lima Sierra) this week; Joe Fanning retains the ride and a reproduction of that kind of effort should see the pair go close.

Spotlight: No win for a year but has slipped to 3lb below that last winning mark (7f, Ayr) and did offer something more positive when third to Highland Olly (Monhammer runner-up) over C&D latest; wouldn't want the ground conditions to ease any further.

Spotlight: Two C&D wins (from higher marks); knocking firmly at the door of late, finishing runner-up the last twice, including when one place ahead of Ahamoment over C&D (good) latest; Paul Mulrennan takes over in the saddle.

Spotlight: Made it 15th-time lucky, making all in a Class 6 classified at Catterick (7f, good) on penultimate start; found life tougher back in handicap company there (sixth, from this mark) this week; it's still possible that he can make the frame.

Spotlight: Does most of his winning on the AW (4-24; Southwell his preferred venue); sits on his last winning turf mark but still appears to be working back to peak form post wind surgery; prudent to monitor only for the time being.

Spotlight: Just prevailed in a driving finish at Redcar (7f, good to soft; in a first-time visor) in July; has failed to kick on positively since, weakening quickly with nothing to report at Ayr (6f) five weeks ago; risky proposition for now.

Spotlight: Won back-to-back races as a juvenile at Beverley (7.5f) and Ayr (6f) but she has been steadily regressive this year and now drops to a career-low mark; did too much too soon when fourth at Carlisle (1m) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip.

Spotlight: 1-27, making all to win at Hamilton (6f, good; in first-time blinkers) in June; placed on four occasions thereafter, the most recent when third to today's rival Unthinkable over C&D (good) last month; poor Thirsk run (6f) to overcome.

Spotlight: Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence.

Spotlight: Always doing enough to fend off six rivals, including Superior Council (third), Due Respect (fourth) and Ignac Lamar (fifth) over C&D (good) last month; well below that level of form in two subsequent starts (unruly at Ayr) so tough to know what to expect.

Spotlight: Eight-race maiden; continually afflicted by slow starts, fluffing it completely when seventh of 11 at Doncaster (7f; 66-1) on penultimate run; tough to fathom a reasoned case; look elsewhere.
