Spotlight :
Cheekpieces were applied for the switch to handicaps and he showed improved form, winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; he shouldn't be written off but he was only sixth back at Southwell (1m, AW) last time and goes without headgear today.

Spotlight :
Made it 0-5 when fifth of eight on recent handicap and seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); he needs something extra but this 125,000gns yearling has a useful pedigree and could improve for that latest run.

Spotlight :
Made debut in January; fair efforts over 1m on first two starts (faded) and beaten just a short head at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last time; his pedigree provides optimism regarding the suitability of this different trip on his handicap debut, but there's a concern that he'll pull hard.

Spotlight :
Improved upon her four 2yo runs when upped in trip and easily winning a handicap at 18-1 at Beverley (1m2f, good) last Thursday on her handicap and turf debut; she needs to back up that performance but could be tough to beat under a 6lb penalty if reproducing the form.

Spotlight :
Improved with each of his three 2yo runs for Ed Bethell, going close at Beverley (8.4f, good) in September when last seen; sold for 35,000gns in October and gelded since; makes handicap debut with new yard in fine form and he's bred to be suited by the step up in trip; could have a big say.

Spotlight :
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) last August; soundly beaten on both runs this year (7f/7.4f) and her claims aren't obvious, but her pedigree hints this step up in trip may prompt improvement.

Spotlight :
He's not obviously well treated judged on what he showed in three novices races last October (1m-1m1f) on soft/heavy ground; however, this brother to two winners has been gelded since and could be capable of better; one to watch in the betting on handicap/seasonal debut.

Spotlight :
Below par on reappearance in Musselburgh maiden four weeks ago (1m, good; having been gelded) but he stayed on well for third in a Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last November and it will be no surprise if this 150,000gns yearling takes a big step forward now up in trip on his handicap debut.
