Spotlight :
Expensive to follow this year but has been dropped 3lb and runs in a 0-50 for the first time; went close for Joe Leavy on his only previous start here and ought to fare better.

Spotlight :
First signs of life for Amy Murphy, who he's since left, in a first-time hood over C&D early last month; that was still far from exciting, though, with him never looking like winning behind Mr Slicker.

Spotlight :
Proved he could do it at beyond 7f when winning over 8.6f at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; has more on his plate tonight, stepping out of handicap company under a penalty, but should give his running as usual.

Spotlight :
Looked unlucky not to go closer still back up to 1m last time, when sporting a first-time visor under Rossa Ryan (retains the ride); has to go on the shortlist.

|
Spotlight :
Doesn't boast a great strike-rate but has a decent record over C&D, with two wins, latterly last spring; came back to form in a race that didn't set up ideally here last time and has to be considered.

|
Spotlight :
Has pulled hard in two runs back from an absence and much will hinge on how he settles from the outside stall in first-time headgear; it could well be all or nothing and the temptation is to look elsewhere.

Spotlight :
Been inclined to pull hard since the blinkers went on but he's done better with each start since returning from an absence; is one to consider on his latest C&D third in a similar race.

Spotlight :
Maiden who's done most racing over middle-distances but was fine with this trip, switched from the usual cheekpieces to a second-time visor, round Lingfield last time (winner gone in again since); easy to argue he's happier on Polytrack but has claims.

Spotlight :
C&D winner late last year who's often pulled hard, as when behind Aspire To Glory last week; should do better if the first-time hood, added to the usual cheekpieces, helps her settle.

In good form early in the year but ran poorly behind two of these over C&D 11 days ago; is some way down the pecking order from another wide stall.

Veteran who had plenty of chances at this level over the winter; hasn't been as good the past twice, latterly behind Aspire To Glory last Tuesday, and others hold stronger claims.

Done most racing over shorter and has regressed sharply in recent times; almost sprung a surprise over 7f here last month but predictably didn't build on it latest.
