Spotlight: She didn't quite live up to market expectation in three turf runs as a 2yo but there were clear signs of encouragement with her three in-frame efforts; not obviously thrown in for this handicap/seasonal debut but the trainer is in form and Oisin Murphy is always a significant booking for the stable (57 wins and a further 63 second/third place finishes from 217 rides; level-stake profit of +37); market confidence would heighten interest.

Spotlight: Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal.

Spotlight: Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race.

Spotlight: Had issues with the stalls as a 2yo but she has returned from a winter break as an improved performer, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton this month and failing narrowly over C&D 11 days ago; should still have more to offer; one of two live chances for Ollie Sangster.

Spotlight: 6f maiden win here last November; stayed on for second of 12 in a Southwell handicap last month (6f); that race is yet to throw up a subsequent winner (as of before racing on Thursday) and he himself has since failed to fire at Haydock; stamina not assured.

Spotlight: Ended 2025 with a pair of wins in Kempton nurseries (1m and 7f); he has struggled in two handicaps this time around, however, and comes here with a point to prove.

Spotlight: Won his first two starts, both over C&D, when trained by Clive Cox; struggled initially in handicaps for Ruth Carr but having dropped 10lb in the weights there were more encouraging signs over C&D 11 days ago (nearly 2l behind Court Of Stars), travelling strongly but just tapped for speed early in the straight; another 2lb lower here and he now has something to build on.

Spotlight: No improvement for the switch to handicaps at Nottingham three weeks ago (8.3f, good), unable to land a blow; a tongue-tie and blinkers are now added but he is drawn wide and hasn't looked to be crying out for the drop to 7f.

Spotlight: Off the mark in a 6f maiden here on his reappearance in March; fair third at Southwell later that month but his form has nosedived on turf (handled it fine as a 2yo) on his last two starts (both in cheekpieces which are absent today); hopes pinned on the step up to 7f and the return to AW sparking a revival.

Spotlight: Consistent without progressing in four AW runs (6f) for Ed Walker this year; changed hands for 16,000gns last month; improvement for today's extra furlong is essential.

Spotlight: She was not beaten far in a pair of Kempton fillies' maidens (1m and 7f) in January, improving for the addition of a tongue-tie; neither race appeals as strong form though and she looks up against it now handicapping from the widest stall.
