Spotlight :
Another short-priced defeat when second on last weekend's debut for his new yard; holds leading claims on that effort, off the same mark, but there can only be so many excuses.

Spotlight :
Handicapper quick to ease off following a poor spell over shorter and he proved this trip fine when winning at Chelmsford last week; is a half-brother to two Tapeta winners and goes on the shortlist upped a fair 3lb.

Excuses with one thing and another since returned to the AW and is 5lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton early in the year; everything looks in place for a bold showing.

Spotlight :
Another solid effort from a wide stall off his revised mark last weekend confirmed him still in good form; his three wins came over 7f, though, and he hasn't looked to see it out in a handful of attempts over further.

Spotlight :
Dual 7f winner here early in the year, latterly off a mark 12lb higher; has been patchy since returning from a summer break, latterly when behind Profitman (among the favourites) last week.

Spotlight :
Well handicapped now but hung right throughout, back from a second round of wind surgery, when below market expectations behind King Of Speed last time; has it to prove now from the outside stall for a yard also responsible for Heretic.

Spotlight :
Hasn't won in two years and has been kind to the bookmakers since; has frequently run well here without winning, however, and is undeniably well treated having offered more on his second run back from a break here last time.

Spotlight :
Likes Wolverhampton and gained a second win there when always well positioned in an amateurs' event off 3lb lower last month; pulled hard in a messy affair at the same course five weeks ago and holds place claims.

Spotlight :
Maiden under both codes who's proved competitive since handicapping, including when chasing home King Of Speed at Wolverhampton last month; didn't look to see out 1m2f latest and is one to consider.

Spotlight :
Missed 21 months after a Newcastle win for Hugo Palmer, during which time he underwent surgery; the step back up to 1m may help, down another 2lb, but he hasn't shown enough in three runs back to be recommended.

Spotlight :
Plenty of costly defeats for Grant Tuer before being picked up for 7,500gns in October; pulled hard in the first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces for his new yard latest and that wasn't a bad effort in the circumstances.

Big prices and well held all four starts (7f) to date, including on her handicap debut seven weeks ago; would want to see some support in first-time headgear before considering her.
