Spotlight: Won a C&D maiden in 2024; ran well here on his first two starts this year and won a handicap by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) last month; form figures at this track read 14232 and he makes the shortlist.

Spotlight: Sole win from 18 starts came on his debut in a 5f maiden on soft ground in May 2024 but he has posted some good efforts since; midfield finishes in three starts this year, including when drawn wide at York over 7f on his last two outings; drops back in trip and down in grade with the visor returning.

Spotlight: Tongue tied for the first time when showing a good attitude to win at Ripon (6f, good; flag start) in May when last seen; only 1lb higher and he can be competitive granted he's ready to go on his first outing for 95 days.

Spotlight: Dual winner over 6f (good/good to soft), the most recent coming at Doncaster last summer off a 3lb lower mark; fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup in September (soft) and he ran well when second of 17 there last month; has to be respected.

Spotlight: Front-runner whose three turf wins have all been on ground slower than good, the most recent coming when holding on at Chester (6f, good to soft) two months ago; may not have things all his own way in front but commands respect off this 2lb higher mark.

Spotlight: All four wins have been on the AW; ran an encouraging race when fourth of eight on his stable debut at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June but he wasn't able to build on that when dropped back to 5f at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; back up in trip.

Spotlight: Sole win on turf came at Ayr (5f, good to soft) last September; has ran to a similar level on her last four outings, most recently when third of nine at Ascot (5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 18 days ago; stepping back up in trip will suit and she's considered.

Spotlight: Has won twice this year (both when ridden by P J McDonald), at Haydock (5f, soft) in May and Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) last time, but that was a 0-105 and he wasn't best drawn; drops back down in grade and should have this run to suit.

Spotlight: Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip.

Spotlight: Gained her fourth success when winning at 14-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, soft; Parisiac was second) in June but she was well beaten off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back.

Spotlight: Course winner last June off a 10lb higher mark than today's, but he's been struggling in recent starts and hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; best watched at present.

Spotlight: Off the mark when winning on his stable debut at Chester (7.5f, soft) in June before finishing behind Iris Dancer here next time; below his best on the AW two weeks ago and cheekpieces are now reached for.
