Spotlight: Sent off favourite for all three starts (6f), confirming the promise of his debut second when easily scoring at Kempton in February; similar form when second over C&D four weeks ago, giving best only to a promising filly; still has potential and while this opening mark wouldn't look an obvious gift, his trainer/jockey have combined to win both runnings of this race since it became a handicap and they also won the 2023 renewal.

Spotlight: 4-4 since fitted with a tongue tie and switched to handicaps; now a whopping 32lb higher than when his winning sequence began and he is tackling much stronger opposition this afternoon but he barely broke sweat last time and his ceiling is yet to be established.

Spotlight: Promise in his first two starts (7f/1m) and took a step forward when winning a good novice at Lingfield in January (7f), making all and finding plenty; should be quick enough for 6f and connections should have a good marker as Lord Harcourt, who also runs in these colours, has form that ties in with several of the runners.

Spotlight: His winning spree came to an end but he emerged with plenty of credit following his third in a 7f Listed event at Lingfield five weeks ago; another personal best will be required if he's to win giving weight away all round but he continues to thrive on racing.

Spotlight: 8lb better off with Silent Strike for 3l on their C&D run last month; solid third at Naas on recent handicap debut (7f, soft); drop back in trip not sure to suit.

Spotlight: He has improved his RPR with each of his four starts, the latest when beaten a nose at Kempton last month on handicap debut (6f); up 2lb but has a promising 7lb claimer booked; can do better.

Spotlight: 2-3 as a 2yo; creditable fifth to Ten Carat Harry over C&D in January (handicap debut) before bumping into one at Southwell three weeks ago; cheekpieces need to prompt improvement.

Spotlight: Debut win for Joseph O'Brien at Dundalk (7f) last October; ready win at Southwell on stable debut (6f) in January and ran well under a double penalty at Lingfield two weeks later; finished behind two of today's rivals when fourth at Southwell three weeks ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible.

Spotlight: Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in December (6f) before chasing home Riley Rocks (winner off a BHA mark of 75 since) over C&D on New Year's Day; made all for a smooth success in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton nine weeks ago; up 8lb but still has potential.

Spotlight: Ran well but finished behind Ten Carat Harry in his first three handicaps and he was fourth to Saffron Dandy at Lingfield last time; needs to find extra to win.

Spotlight: Three fair efforts this year but without suggesting he was well enough handicapped for a race of this nature.

Spotlight: Two wins in maiden/novice company; has shown promise in handicaps, including her Kempton third last month when she couldn't quite sustain the big move she made in the penultimate furlong; has a better chance than her odds may imply; stable also runs Al Najashi.

Spotlight: Won her first two starts this year, over 6f at Wolverhampton and at Lingfield; came up shy in her hat-trick bid at Southwell three weeks ago (met some trouble) but could be suited by today's stiffer test.

Spotlight: Made all to win a 5f handicap here in January but only fifth of seven at Wolverhampton last time; others are open to greater progress.
