Spotlight :
Not yet off the mark, but he's been placed in his last five handicaps and had little hope against a subsequent wide-margin winner at Chelmsford (1m6f) when back from a break; has stamina still to prove on Tapeta debut but this is realistic.

Spotlight :
Had little trouble in shaking off his rivals when upped to 2m at Southwell in February and he ran a sound race in defeat when third over that C&D in April; looks one of the better options if proving suited by this track on first run here.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced and off since February 2024 but he won his second and third handicaps, at about 1m6f here and at Chelmsford, and he did good late work when upped to 2m at Lingfield when last seen; interesting contender.

Spotlight :
Well treated on turf form, such as when winning at Chester (2m) in September off 10lb higher, but he rarely shines on AW and his sole win on sand came in a classified; should still be involved at this level, though.

Spotlight :
Has finished close up in two of four AW handicaps this year, most recently at 1m6f, but has ground to make up on Drouthy Neebor on recent Chelmsford running and no guarantee of improvement for 2m.

2m turf winner last spring but pulled up over hurdles when last seen in February and had been in poor form on AW previously; risky.

Spotlight :
Two C&D wins among multiple successes, the latest over hurdles last May; ran well for a long way over C&D in April on return from another break, and a good run looks more likely from him than some.

Spotlight :
Listed/Group 3 winner in Germany much earlier in career; hard to know what ability remains but he was highly tried in previous AW runs and there were signs of life when he made late headway at Ffos Las (2m) last July before heavy ground was against him in October; blinkers return; interesting.

Spotlight :
Three 2m wins on AW including one over C&D; now 11lb lower than the latest of them in January 2024, but he rather comes and goes and might have run better over C&D latest (first-time hood, now discarded).

Spotlight :
Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form.

Spotlight :
In the frame at 1m2f-1m4f in France last year; initially ran quite promisingly over hurdles in Britain but he's gone walkabout this year, including on AW in April; has it to prove at present.

AW winner in 2023 but has come up with very little off lowly marks, all at big prices, since returning from an absence.
