Spotlight: 3yo whose three wins have all been on soft ground over 1m1f/1m2f, the most recent at Beverley two weeks ago; now 4lb higher but there could still be more to come from this progressive sort, albeit he may not want the ground drying out too much; Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle.

Spotlight: Doubled his tally when winning on his reappearance at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) in July; didn't settle well enough over 1m4f next time but he's posted two good efforts since, most recently when coming home well for second in a race not run to suit at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; major contender for his in-form yard.

Spotlight: Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern.

Spotlight: Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but bounced back when a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger.

Spotlight: Second past the post in a division of this last year (later awarded the race); below his best on his first two starts this year but got back to winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago after a gelding operation; likely player even with 5lb penalty, particularly if the ground is softer than good.

Spotlight: Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, albeit ground slower than good would pose a question mark.

Spotlight: All six wins have been over longer trips, five on the AW at Wolverhampton and the other here in June (1m4f, good to soft); only 2lb higher than for that success but he was below his best on the AW last month and now drops back in trip.

Spotlight: Sole win from 12 starts came on the AW at Newcastle (1m) last November but he's finished third at Chester (about 1m4f; good/good to soft) in two starts this year; has been off for three months but drops back in trip with solid claims.

Spotlight: Four-time winner (7f/1m), most recently at York (good to firm) in July; never featured from off the pace there five days ago and now attempts this trip for the first time; could go well if seeing it out.

Spotlight: Won at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last term when trained by Ian Williams; first two runs for this yard, both at Ripon (1m2f/1m; good), were solid but he ran below his best there on soft ground ten days ago; a sounder surface may be preferable.

Spotlight: Acts on most ground; gained his third success on the Flat when winning narrowly at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June but he was too free back over hurdles next time; off since that outing 75 days ago but he could go well back in this sphere.

Spotlight: Acts on most ground; capitalised on a career-low mark with a comfortable success at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; back up 5lb and he's yet to prove himself over this longer trip.

Spotlight: Three-time winner over 1m2f at Newcastle last year; returned from wind surgery with a good second of five at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in July but was well below form there last month; drops in grade needing to bounce back.

Spotlight: All six wins have been on good ground or quicker, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f) in July, but he was third of 11 there on heavy ground last time (8.5f; cheekpieces back on); step up to 1m2f isn't sure to suit.

Spotlight: 1-5 in France, that success on the AW at Pornichet-La Baule (about 1m2f) in February; down the field on his final start for Christopher Head and now makes his British debut having been purchased for 15,000euros in July; the betting should be informative.

Spotlight: Won twice on the AW in April (1m/7f) but he's 0-4 since and didn't seem to get home at Salisbury last month on his first attempt over this trip; has since been dropped 3lb.

Spotlight: Landed a 1m novice at Newcastle (AW) for the Gosdens but he failed to build on that on his next two starts, and was always behind on his yard debut at Kempton (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in June; gelded since and now steps back up in trip; watch the betting.
