Spotlight :
Maiden in Ireland; edged ahead close home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month on debut for new connections; could well build on that win and show further progress in Britain; again ridden by Hector Crouch, who has a very good strike-rate for James Owen; sole runner on the card for this trainer, who is 2-2 with Musselburgh runners; strongly respected up just 2lb.

Spotlight :
Record of 3-8 switched to handicaps last term; ran creditably behind Tafsir in a Scottish event on final start when bidding for a hat-trick; looks the type who could improve further this year; shortlisted.

Spotlight :
Absent since prevailing narrowly at Pontefract eight months ago when becoming the first horse to land the £100,000 bonus for winning three Sky Bet Sunday Series races (gained those wins over 1m3f, 1m6f and 2m1f); not crying out for this big drop back in distance but otherwise has strong claims, being a progressive sort who is 3-6 since handicapping.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced 4yo who is making seasonal debut; regressed in handicaps last year after winning a maiden on reappearance but this may be the time to catch him; had wind surgery over the winter.

Spotlight :
Campaigned mostly in lower grades; absent since finishing second over C&D five months ago; behind two of these rivals in Class 4 the time before; back on career-high mark and not the percentage call.

Spotlight :
Low-mileage 6yo who is one of four runners for Jim Goldie; runner-up over hurdles in Ireland; has a jumps pedigree but his AW efforts for new yard have not been devoid of promise; may progress now handicapping.

Spotlight :
Returns to a more suitable trip with 1m2f reappearance under his belt; however, he has done most of his winning in lower grades and can be opposed off current mark in this competitive Class 4 event.

Hurdles winner who has done the majority of his Flat racing on AW; ran well at Wolverhampton most recently, nearly completing a hat-trick; bit to prove back on turf but can't be dismissed in current form.

Spotlight :
Three-time winner at 1m-1m2f on AW, most recently in January (inconsistent since); has the ability to get involved but brings negatives, as he's 0-12 on turf and has stamina to prove over this new trip.
