Spotlight :
Off since poor run in December, after which he had a breathing operation; best form has come on AW and slow turf, so may need some rain to get in, but latest win came following two-month break, so 'fresh' might be a good time to catch him.

Spotlight :
Needs to come back to form, wide draw doesn't seem ideal and may not want the ground to dry out too much, but he is a three-time course winner.

Spotlight :
Versatile sort who is handily weighted on his best and drawn to go the shortest route, but needs to rebound from a poor run at Doncaster; cheekpieces refitted.

Spotlight :
All five wins gained on AW at Wolverhampton, the most recent over 9.4f in October, but also has form on fast turf; most recently too headstrong in cheekpieces, which are now removed; has a chance from a handy draw.

Ten-race maiden who has never tried this far and has been off since last August, but has some placed form that gives him a chance.

Spotlight :
Has won here twice over 1m1f; won final two starts last year at about this trip elsewhere; however, may find this too sharp a test on reappearance, from wide draw, if the ground continues to dry out.
