Spotlight Ended a run of three seconds when winning an amateur riders' event at Carlisle (1m, soft) in August under Hannah Dring; consistent sort but his form dipped back at Carlisle on his only start since; has run well up to 1m2f on turf and 1m4f on AW; player if he bounces back.

Spotlight 3-30 overall, with both his handicap wins in 2023; 1m2f on soft should be fine and he's had some minor honours off falling marks this term, but well beaten on last two outings.

Spotlight Had three wins (one on soft) last season and returned to form when he scored at Ripon (1m3f) this August; good front-running third at York on latest start; with new yard last five outings and ridden by Charli Parker on last four; prominent in calculations.

Spotlight Both wins were on AW, latterly getting up in the final strides at Southwell (1m) in August; creditable fourth over that same C&D three weeks ago; none of his turf form matches this mark but he was runner-up over 1m2f on heavy once last term off 9lb lower.

Spotlight Won under regular rider Emily Roberts twice last year, including on soft, and also at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) this June; never dangerous under Rebecca Burley three starts back and has twice run respectably since; longer trips are possibly ideal these days.

Spotlight Ended last season on the up over about 1m on heavy going and AW, including her breakthrough win; this campaign has been a struggle despite moving down the weights, but the ground has not been worse than good to soft; more testing ground today just might offer hope.

Spotlight Looks best on soft or heavy ground; the last two races in which he got it were at Hamilton in September when he won over 1m3f and was second off this mark over 1m4f; usually apprentice ridden; drawn wide but should be seriously involved if he gets his ground.

Spotlight Nine-race maiden, three for current yard; set steady pace when close second in first-time cheekpieces (kept since) over 1m on heavy at Ffos Las in August but tailed off over further on starts either side; stamina is not certain.

Spotlight Front-runner with two wins (1m/1m2f) on good to firm under Stephanie Dorey this summer, latter by a wide margin; backward steps in his three starts since, admittedly trying to overcome the widest draw on AW six days ago but there's an additional concern because, despite placings, he might not be so effective on soft ground.

Spotlight First sign that he might get competitive came on latest start when never-nearer sixth of 14 on handicap debut over C&D (soft; 40-1) 13 days ago; needs to build on that and has been dropped just 1lb.

Spotlight 0-14; missed a chunk of last season and not so good this term; fourth of 15 at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) last time but he needs to build on that and did not prove himself on soft with two attempts early in career.

Spotlight Usually ridden by Brodie Hampson; won at Windsor (11.5f, heavy) last October and second at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; 9lb lower today) this June; out of sorts since, however.

Spotlight 1-28 on Flat turf compared to 3-10 on AW, with no win in either sphere since June 2023; opposable on this year's form on soft and particularly this year's over this short a trip.

Spotlight No solid form after four starts for the Crisfords and, after a year off, one run this month for current yard; the last four of those were AW.
