Spotlight: Improved for the step up to 1m2f last summer, winning handicaps at Windsor and Newmarket; another step forward upped to 1m4f at Kempton on his reappearance, finishing second of 12, and latest Goodwood fourth (1m6f, good) was also respectable; won't need much more for the addition of cheekpieces to play a big part in the finish.

Spotlight: Some promise in three AW starts at up to 1m4f; makes his handicap/turf debut at a realistic level and one to note in the market.

Spotlight: Never raced over further than an extended 1m2f on the Flat for Jack Channon but he won over hurdles at Chepstow three weeks ago on his first run for his new stable; it could be that this trip brings about some progress and he's feasibly weighted.

Spotlight: Useful jumper who has benefitted from a step up in trip/switch to handicapping on the Flat, winning at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) before finishing second at Southwell one week later (1m3f; steadily run); another 3lb higher today but a thorough test at this trip could spark further progress; rider's claim useful too.

Spotlight: Another to be revived by the move to James Owen, making all over 1m4f at Beverley last month; up 3lb in a deeper race but foolish to think he's reached his ceiling.

Spotlight: Completed four-timer for Tony Carroll in the summer of 2023 (including over 1m2f at this track); beaten 15 times since the last win though and he'll need to step up on last month's midfield finish at Lingfield (2m, AW).

Spotlight: Sent off favourite for all four of her handicap runs, winning twice at Musselburgh in the autumn (1m4f, good and 2m, good to soft); likely to carry on progressing and there should be sufficient pace on here to bring her stamina into play.

Spotlight: Needed a drop into Class 6 company to record his first handicap success, rewarding market support at Kempton last August (1m4f); held his form afterwards and shouldn't be unduly inconvenienced by returning to turf; each-way shout.

Spotlight: Promise in three fillies' novice events at up to 1m4f and faces more realistic assignment now handicapping; 295-day absence to overcome though.

Spotlight: Better known for his AW exploits and although he's lower rated on grass, this trip looks an issue (unplaced all six runs at 1m4f).

Spotlight: All wins on AW and usually seen over further; still 2lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win last October (2m) and others appeal more on this return from 114 days off.

Spotlight: Won two middle-distance handicaps last season and he's only 1lb higher than for his soft-ground success at Yarmouth last October; signs the stable are emerging from a quiet spell and the betting should be revealing.

Spotlight: Exposed 14-race maiden; creditable third at Salisbury 12 days ago (1m6f, good to firm) but more will be needed in this stronger event.

Spotlight: Chased home Notable Speech at Kempton last January but their paths have been very different subsequently; yet to make a major impact in handicaps and hopes pinned on the step up in trip having a positive effect.

Spotlight: Won three handicaps last summer at 1m2f and 1m4f; ended 2024 with a good third at Newmarket (1m1f; off 3lb higher); not at his best in two runs this season but likely to come good again at some point.
