Spotlight: Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time.

Spotlight: Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about.

Spotlight: Veteran who still retains most of his ability and gave a good account when keeping-on second of 21 at York (6f, good) last month; still only 1lb higher than for C&D (heavy) win in October and will be favoured by any rain.

Spotlight: Unexposed 3yo who delivered on debut promise when game winner of 7f Thirsk maiden (good) last month, despite racing too freely; faces tougher task on this handicap debut but has plenty of scope for further progress and, in the short-term at least, this drop back to 6f could be the right move.

Spotlight: Fifth over C&D (soft) in Bronze Cup in September and filled same position in 19-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, good to soft) on reappearance in March; slightly disappointing on good to firm ground last time but conditions ought to be suitable for him today; one to consider.

Spotlight: Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account.

Spotlight: Close up on consecutive outings in May (5f/6f) and also ran well when sixth of 21 at York (6f, good; behind Woven) last month; still on a workable mark and ought to be in the thick of things again.

Spotlight: Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting.

Spotlight: Regressive 10yo who has not won since 2024; ran well on consecutive 7f starts in April/May and is well handicapped on those efforts but recent sprint form has been below par.

Spotlight: Ex-French 4yo who is yet to add to his 2yo Group 3 win; safely held on all three British starts this year but positives can be drawn from his keeping-on sixth at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month and he might be seen to better effect if the ground is on the slow side of good here.

Spotlight: Didn't run badly when midfield at York (7f, good) last month, having been dropped in from stall 20 of 20, and is back on a good mark now; not ruled out, particularly if there's significant rain about.

Spotlight: Ended last season with a 7f win on soft ground but made a slow start to this campaign; not the percentage call.

Spotlight: Readily won modest four-runner Ripon maiden (6f, good) for George Boughey in September but was unable to land a telling blow in two 5f handicaps for new stable this season; remains lightly raced and ought to be suited by this move back up in trip but others have less to prove.

Spotlight: Belied 100-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 off his much higher AW mark at Newcastle (6f) last week but has 0-20 strike-rate on turf; others have more persuasive profiles.

Spotlight: Inconsistent during the AW season and made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance when midfield over C&D (soft) last month; on another career-low mark today but needs that recent run to have brought him on.

Spotlight: Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in May but ran poorly when dropped back to 6f later that month and now goes without headgear; others look safer.

Spotlight: Smart in his prime and a multiple winner over the years but became disappointing after last season's winning reappearance and was last of 20 when back in action at York in May; needs to turn things around.

Spotlight: Placed twice off higher marks on Tapeta (6f/5f) at start of this year and may not have been suited by the soft ground when safely held over C&D last month, after a break; others appeal more all the same, though.
