Spotlight :
Lightly raced maiden who's with his third yard already (firmly back among the winners lately); again pulled hard when better was expected over C&D a fortnight ago and is no forlorn hope if he's more amenable.

Spotlight :
Well held in three runs last year but gelded since and is well related; offered much more on his comeback at Redcar (1m, good to firm) behind a progressive winner and holds leading claims upped 2lb.

Spotlight :
Pulled hard when favourite on comeback and fared much better in tonight's hood/cheekpieces last time, when a clear second (1m, good to firm); there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise and he's shortlisted.

Inconsistent last year but two solid efforts in similar races this spring, tending to be ridden patiently and may be again from this draw.

Spotlight :
Often fluffed the start and/or pulled hard but hadn't had much luck for this yard prior to ending a losing run at Nottingham (1m, good to firm; 33-1) a week ago; lacks consistency and there are risks under an inexperienced 7lb claimer but he's capable back up 3lb.

Spotlight :
First-time blinkers had a positive effect when third in a similar handicap here three weeks ago (four of these behind); the step back up from 7f will suit on that evidence and she's one to consider.

Spotlight :
Ran three times for Craig Lidster last year before moving; nothing exciting about her comeback behind two of these here three weeks ago and she needs to improve for the extra furlong (possible on pedigree).

Spotlight :
Three solid efforts off this mark over 7f since handicapping this spring, including here three weeks ago; more exposed than some, though, and will need to find a bit more for the stiffer test.

Spotlight :
Kept to slow turf/Tapeta last year and hung left when behind four of tonight's rivals on 7f course comeback recently (among the favourites); tries this far for the first time and stall 13 won't help conserve stamina.

Fared better on his nursery debut in first-time blinkers last autumn (1m, good) before well held in one more start on soft/heavy ground; landed a wide stall on his comeback from seven months off.

Nothing exciting in three runs for Craig Lidster last summer, her third coming in a four-runner 6f novice here; this trip is no certainty to suit on pedigree; eight months off and considered only if she's been backed.
