Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who has been beaten less than 1l in competitive 6f handicaps on his last three starts, most recently third of 20 at York; he's kept on well each time and today's extra yardage could be right up his street; unraced on slow ground.

Spotlight: Four-time 7f winner who was a close third of 28 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) when wearing a first-time tongue-tie; fourth in the Bunbury Cup since (7f, good to firm); he could still have more to offer and is a possible player if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

Spotlight: Hasn't won for just over two years and whether the extra half-furlong suits remains to be seen, but he kept on well for a head second of 20 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and that performance bodes well for a prominent showing today; versatile ground-wise.

Spotlight: Progressive filly who made it three wins for the year (1m/7f) when prevailing in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; she hit the front over 1f out at York and a 5lb rise may not prevent her playing another leading role, provided the ground suits (unproven on a slow surface).

Spotlight: Placed in Group 3/Listed races on slow ground last term; he hasn't hit the same heights this season but encounters with a slow surface have been scarce and he's down to a dangerous mark; interesting; rain would aid cause.

Spotlight: Has gone off the boil on his last three starts but he won here (7f, good) in June and his course form-figures read 131 (including on soft ground); on a handy mark if the return to Doncaster sparks a revival.

Spotlight: Two wins last September (7f, good/good to firm) and another at Haydock (7f, good) this July on second run of the year; again ran well when third at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) latest; unraced on slow ground; there can be optimism this front-runner will be fine at today's trip and he's respected.

Spotlight: Went very close in the Lincoln here (1m, good to soft) in March and mid-division in the Racing League at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month, when held-up in a race in which the first three raced prominently; cheekpieces return (blinkers were tried last time); capable of having a say.

Spotlight: Three-time French winner (all on good to soft, including at 6.5f) who has worked his way back into form for this yard, finishing runner-up on his last two starts (6f, AW/good to firm); he's kept on well on those last two outings and today's extra yardage could be a firm plus; one to consider.

Spotlight: Returned to form when third of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good) recently and he retains the same mark, which is 6lb lower than when 3l fourth of nine in this last year (soft); might not be far away.

Spotlight: He's failed to threaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track but he's won on both previous visits to Doncaster, in this race last year (soft) and over 5f this June (good); a visor returns (has won in it; replaces cheekpieces); has to be in calculations in view of his record here.

Spotlight: He has an in-and-out profile and has never raced over a trip this short, but he was a clear second behind a well-handicapped winner in the Bunbury Cup in July (7f, good to firm) and ran pretty well when seventh of 17 at York (1m, good to firm) last time; also effective on good to soft; not ruled out.

Spotlight: Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well.

Spotlight: He's not easy to fancy on this year's form but is well handicapped on last October's third in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) and significant rain would be a major boost to his claims.

Spotlight: He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out.

Spotlight: 2yo Group 3 winner in 2023; with a new yard this season and there were encouraging signs in May; continues to drop down the weights but hasn't shone on his last two outings and has to raise his game.

Spotlight: Beaten 18 times since making a winning stable debut in the 2023 Wokingham; his seventh of 20 at York three weeks ago was a step back in the right direction but he needs another today to exploit his falling mark.
