Spotlight :
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up for 48,000gns last backend and gelded, a fortnight ago (AW); won over a straight 1m last summer on his second start back from a break and, upped 2lb, there's a good chance that history repeats itself.

Spotlight :
Won first time out this time last year, which is a bonus back from seven months off, and went on to win both starts over C&D; higher in the weights now but her yard has been in decent nick and she's considered.

Spotlight :
String of solid efforts in Tapeta handicaps this year and he doesn't appear to do anything wrong; has been nudged up another 2lb, though, and will need to find a bit more for the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers, and from the AW to turf.

Spotlight :
Won four handicaps last season, including today's race off a 5lb lower mark; will need to improve somewhat on his Redcar comeback, but returns to the usual blinkers from cheekpieces today and better can be expected.

Spotlight :
Again inclined to pull hard when hitting traffic at a key stage behind Mr Swivell at Chelmsford a fortnight ago; related to several turf winners, including here, and this mark looks within range when he learns to settle better.

Spotlight :
Missed more than a year and underwent wind surgery before an inconsistent autumn/winter for James Horton; blinkers come off and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market back from three months off for new yard.

Spotlight :
Found the ideal opening against her own sex on Tapeta when springing a surprise last backend; the race didn't pan out ideally under a penalty on her Kempton comeback three weeks ago and she's entitled to have come on for that.

Spotlight :
Useful 3yo who found his level again late last year when winning a couple of Wolverhampton handicaps; this race is a bit stronger, and he's upped 4lb back from four months off, but he may be up to the job.

Spotlight :
Trainer on a lengthy losing run but has had a good few pop up at big prices here down the years; this gelding, whose best work for Archie Watson came on the AW, will need to improve a lot upon his two starts for current connections if he's to follow suit.
