Spotlight :
He's struggled on grass in the past but all of those starts have been over 7f plus, and he's thrived over sprint trips on AW since last August; his turf mark is fully 15lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March last time out, so he'll be tough to beat if showing any aptitude for turf.

Spotlight :
0-14 but runner-up on two of his last three starts, at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month and at Hamilton (5f, good) last Friday; kept on well last time and he can be thereabouts once more now back up to 6f.

Spotlight :
Went back up in trip to 6f last August/September and showed improved form, posting a win and two placed efforts; didn't perform badly at Catterick (5f) on reappearance when these cheekpieces were absent and he could build on that run now back up in distance with the headgear reapplied; contender.

Spotlight :
Had become disappointing but, following wind surgery, there were encouraging signs at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month when he kept on for fifth after being outpaced; also effective on turf; could be involved now back up to 6f.

|
Spotlight :
He's shown very little on his three turf starts and has something to prove on grass; however, he can be in the mix if transferring his good recent AW form.

Spotlight :
Twice went close on AW in January and now 5lb lower; however, not in the same form more recently (back on turf last time) and he's won just one of his 25 starts; others make greater appeal.

Spotlight :
Now 5lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last December; close sixth there last month on second start for current yard but not quite at the same level back on turf the last twice; needs to raise his game.

Spotlight :
0-6 and reportedly hung left when disappointing favourite at Newcastle (6f, AW) last time; however, prior to that she made a promising return from an absence there (6f) and she ran well on turf in 2022; not written off.

Spotlight :
C&D winner who holds each-way claims judged on last season's best efforts; however, she has a modest strike-rate and previous evidence suggests she may need this reappearance outing.

Spotlight :
Versatile trip-wise and well handicapped on last season's best efforts; however, his form went the wrong way towards the end of the campaign and it took a couple of runs last spring before he really got going last season.
