Spotlight: Last four appearances feature wins over 1m2f, 1m1f and 1m, all in Scotland on good/firmer; an improving sort but latest performance, at Ayr, suggests he's not crying out for this further drop back in trip.

Spotlight: Record is 7-65; has a touch of seconditis, including at Ayr, for new yard but by the same token he seems to be knocking at the door; ran well on AW last week and is due to go up 2lb in future; shortlisted.

Spotlight: The least exposed contender in this field, having raced only four times; eyecatching fourth, amid prolonged traffic issues, in Haydock handicap (upped to 7f; good) most recently; interesting off the same mark and with Warren Fentiman taking off a bonus 5lb.

Spotlight: Gained his Irish wins on heavy ground and he produced a clear best effort for current yard on soft (now 9lb lower) when fourth of nine at Redcar last November; revival plausible when he returns to those conditions.

Spotlight: Recorded last three wins over 6f at Catterick (good/soft); consistent at same trip of late and has place claims provided he's as effective back over 7f; distance winner a long time ago.

Spotlight: 3yo maiden who has proved inconsistent this season but may be about to turn over a new leaf, having had wind surgery prior to encouraging effort (close third) over the sharp 1m at Thirsk most recently; not dismissed.

Spotlight: Consistent maiden as a 2yo for previous yard; record of 4312 for new stable, the win at Redcar (7f, good to firm); ran creditably at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last time; may do better still; respected.

Spotlight: Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Campaigned mainly over 1m-1m2f, winning nine times, most recently at Leicester (good to firm) in June; ran well twice at Ripon last month; this drop back to 7f presents a question mark.

Spotlight: Record of 7-44 includes three wins over C&D (good to soft); hasn't strictly built on reappearance effort this season but is still in reasonable form and made the frame in last two runs; could go well.

Spotlight: 3yo maiden who has lacked consistency this term; would have a fighting chance if back to peak form, namely close seconds on AW last autumn and turf this spring.

Spotlight: Has edged down the weights this term for new yard and looks attractively handicapped off 10lb below last winning mark in 2023; all wins at 6f but has form over 7f; market support should be noted.

Spotlight: 3yo maiden who commenced her 2025 campaign with a couple of good sprinting efforts (AW/turf); not in the same form since, most recently upped to 7f; enough to prove.

Spotlight: Seven-race maiden; ran respectably dropped to 7f at Haydock (good) most recently, albeit without improving; chance of getting off the mark largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.
