Spotlight :
Improving with experience, missing out by a short head at Nottingham on his turf debut 16 days ago (1lb better off with reopposing winner Antiquity); could yet rate higher.

Spotlight :
Enhanced his record in 1m handicaps to 12211 when gamely holding off Zarathos at Nottingham 16 days ago (8.5f, good); unlikely he's reached his ceiling just yet and he's high on the list.

|
Spotlight :
2-2 since moving into handicaps, following her narrow 7f win at Lingfield (AW) with a more comfortable success at Yarmouth three weeks ago (1m, good); 6lb rise not generous on the face of it but she still looks to be learning her craft and foolish to discount significant further improvement.

Spotlight :
Runner-up twice since handicapping, notably when beaten a short-head at Beverley (7.5f, good) last week; the first two home were well clear on that occasion (Seed Investor a never-dangerous fourth) and she's due to be 2lb higher from the weekend; commands plenty of respect.

Spotlight :
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Southwell 17 days ago (7f; first run for 192 days and after a gelding operation); drops in class today and still has time to do better; first run at 1m.

Spotlight :
Finished third in his final two starts for Craig Lidster (both 7f); tried in cheekpieces on his stable debut/reappearance at Beverley last week and wasn't at the same level; headgear off now but improvement is a must.

Absent since a heavy defeat on soft ground at Redcar six months ago; first two runs weren't without promise but he's not obviously well treated for his handicap debut.

Spotlight :
Sent off favourite for his nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) in September and showed a little improvement, finishing third of ten having made the running; improvement required upped to 1m but it's not out of the question.

Spotlight :
Third behind a useful sort on debut (1m, AW) in January; non stayer over 1m3f and 1m2f since; may do better now handicapping on turf back down in distance.

Spotlight :
Probably best to ignore his third 2yo run (eased after rider felt him take a false step) and he's shown promise in his three other starts; gelded after finishing fourth on last month's handicap debut; new blinkers replace cheekpieces.

The odd promising effort as a 2yo; returns from 143 days off for a new stable (who also run Seed Investor); improvement is required.

One promising 2yo effort (7.5f, good); well beaten on her seasonal/handicap debut here 26 days ago (1m2f, good; 33-1); others bring more pressing claims.
