Spotlight Possibly unsuited by the return to soft ground and/or something was amiss last time; drops back in class, having kept better company since handicapping, and returns to the scene of his easy novice win (sole AW run); interesting.

Spotlight Has looked quirky but he's consistent and took well to new headgear at Southwell (1m4f, AW; off 4lb lower) most recently, opening his account at the tenth attempt; that form has been well advertised by the second and third since; highly respected in the retained visor.

Spotlight Stablemate of Fighter Command; well held in two Listed races on turf; spoiled chance by hanging in C&D event on most recent AW attempt but has form figures of 2122 in this sphere and enters calculations.

Spotlight Largely consistent 2024 record includes three wins, latest over C&D three weeks ago when opening his AW account; holds a solid chance, for all that he's now on a career-high mark.

Spotlight Back in top form last month, winning at Bath (11.5f) then good second at Newbury (1m4f); effective on AW and has won here; now on career-high mark but is difficult to dismiss.

Spotlight Has looked fairly useful but his headstrong tendency has been an issue, particularly last time (well beaten; first run since being gelded); now wears tongue-tie; has the ability to figure if settling better.

Spotlight Generally consistent in 1m2f handicaps this season, winning twice on turf (including last time off 4lb lower); has bits of AW form; may remain competitive, provided he stays this extra furlong.

Spotlight Contrasting performances at this venue (1m) since wearing blinkers, winning in August but finishing last of 14 this month; goes into unknown territory over 1m3f and it's not clear what to expect from him.

Spotlight Regained the winning thread at Windsor (11.5f) last month; held off this mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last week but did enough to suggest he remains in form; could go well.

Spotlight Two encouraging efforts in July but not in anything like the same form since, extending his losing run; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Spotlight Absent since flop in July when turned out quickly; generally progressive on AW/turf otherwise and record is 5-10; may rebound but needs to resume improvement to defy top weight.

Spotlight Consistent maiden form has not been sustained since handicapping; failed to beat a rival last time; has the ability to be involved off current mark but isn't guaranteed to run her race.

Spotlight Record of 3-24 for the Johnston stable, all wins in 2023; kept to Class 5 of late and appears to have a stiffer task back up grade; sold for 16,000gns since last run.

Spotlight Narrowly justified favouritism at Epsom (1m2f) last month, adding to his two Lingfield AW wins in July; now upped further in grade off a tougher mark but can't be dismissed in current form.
