Spotlight :
Has undergone a third round of wind surgery since said to have stopped quickly over hurdles last autumn (jumped left, pulled up before the last); this mark is within range on last summer's evidence if ready to go again.

Spotlight :
Bumped into one at Newmarket last August and the race didn't fall her way when last seen; remains relatively unexposed in that case and is open to improvement over this trip (from a good middle-distance family).

Spotlight :
Still to run badly and remains relatively unexposed on her return from eight months off; she's only run once over this sort of trip too and is on the shortlist.

Spotlight :
Won five handicaps last year (including on comeback), four against her own sex, and climbed 23lb up the weights; will find life tougher off this mark but she's fine on any ground and it wouldn't be a shock to see her progress again.

Spotlight :
Three-time 1m2f winner for Sir Mark Todd who's only been this far once, when well beaten; made a pleasing comeback for her new yard on Tapeta four weeks ago but needs to build on it and stamina is a live concern round here.

Spotlight :
Likes Yarmouth and was in good form there for Rae Guest last autumn before changing hands; could have done without the dry spell ahead of her first start in five months; goes in a first-time tongue-tie.

Spotlight :
Failed to win for the Gosden yard (raced exclusively in novice company) prior to being sold in January for 38,000gns; the blinkers are removed, back from ten weeks off, and the market should give some clues under James Doyle (first ride for the yard).

Spotlight :
Got his act together last backend, winning three times following a string of defeats at short prices; however, he returns from five months off and this is tougher than he's used to.

Spotlight :
Serial slow starter who's tended to improve for a run in previous seasons; resumes on his last successful mark but his last four wins have come on the AW and others make greater appeal.

Spotlight :
Climbed the ranks on the AW last year, winning five times in lesser company; pulled hard upped to 1m6f last time but had looked to have hit his ceiling prior to that and this is tough enough on his belated turf debut.
