Spotlight: Lost out only by a nose off today's mark over C&D (good to soft) in May and returned from break with pretty good fourth at Ayr (1m, soft) last month; features prominently in calculations.

Spotlight: 0-6 but yet to run a bad race; gave it a good shot from the front when second at Thirsk (1m, good) last month, having been dropped back in trip, and has each-way claims at least off same mark here.

Spotlight: Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance.

Spotlight: Launched handicap career with two emphatic Tapeta wins in April (1m/7f); yet to make any further progress but did well to finish fourth at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last week, having lost ground at the start.

Spotlight: Runner-up on first three starts this season (once over C&D) and was seemingly back in good nick when fourth at Carlisle (nearly 1m, good) last month; subsequent heavy-ground defeat is excusable, and he's on a good mark.

Spotlight: Scored over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces in June; didn't fire on latest outing but was placed twice over 1m2f beforehand and looks interesting now back at this track and with the cheekpieces back on.

Spotlight: Veteran; inconsistent this season and needs to bounce back quickly from down-the-field run at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on Thursday but this C&D suits him and he has slipped to a tempting mark; can't be ruled out.

Spotlight: Has made good progress this year, collecting three wins (7f-8.3f) along the way; below form on Tapeta last month (raced too freely) but further improvement remains possible.

Spotlight: Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025.

Spotlight: A maiden after eight starts but placed on last four outings, the last three times for this stable (7f-1m); still unexposed over 1m and ought to be on the premises again.

Spotlight: Unexposed filly who was second in two maidens in May/June (1m/8.4f); well beaten after refusing to settle at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month but sports a first-time hood on this handicap debut and may still have potential.

Spotlight: Dual Class 6 winner this season (8.3f, good/good to firm); current mark ought to be workable but he needs to better his last couple of efforts; others preferred.

Spotlight: Ended last season in poor form and returned from a layoff with two down-the-field runs last month (1m/7f); 4lb wrong here and difficult to enthuse over.

Spotlight: Won three times (once over C&D) in 2025 but seen only once this year, when well beaten at Newmarket in May; still on a fairly tough mark and has a lot more to prove than some of these.
