Spotlight: 0-8; has eased 4lb in the handicap since joining this trainer, now 2lb lower than when a respectable fourth here (7f) in late October; excuse - hampered by a loose horse - when a beaten favourite at Lingfield latest; chance.

Spotlight: Yet to win in handicap company, his last win in a C&D novice in March 2022; hung left when making late headway from off the pace at Wolverhampton (8.5f; fourth of eight) 23 days ago; could strip fitter for that comeback run and now drops into a Class 6.

Spotlight: Ex-Godolphin; returning from a mammoth absence he started the year on a BHA mark of 90 but a string of low-key efforts for this trainer (0-10) have seen him plummet in the weights; latest C&D third (beaten 4l) was marginally better; stablemate of Antiquity.

Spotlight: Runner-up in three of his last four starts, including when beaten just over 1l by shock winner Valentine Boy over C&D (9-2) last month; same mark here, so is likely to have a prominent role to play.

Spotlight: Often slowly away, so did well in the circumstances when a closing fourth at Wolverhampton (8.5f) on penultimate start; took a backward step from a wide draw over C&D (fifth) subsequently; is feasibly handicapped though, and mainly goes well for Saffie Osborne.

Spotlight: Won twice over 5f (turf and AW) for Jack Jones; 0-5 for this trainer but ran just about her best race since changing hands when third at Lingfield (7f; beaten 3l) 27 days ago; easing mark is helpful but stamina reserves over a mile are the main concern.

Spotlight: Won a 7f nursery here (from 3lb lower) last September; weakened quickly at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month after a break and failed to get involved under a more patient ride (7f; in first-time cheekpieces) back there latest; needs to bounce back.

Spotlight: 2-30; run down late over 7f here (10-1) in September but less productive (slowly away) on his next two AW starts; returns to the Flat with something to prove after pulling up (didn't jump with fluency) on recent hurdles debut at Huntingdon.

Spotlight: Won back-to-back 6f races on turf (Chepstow and Leicester) during the summer; slowly away - as is the norm - when a keeping-on third at Bath (1m, heavy) in October; is yet to win on AW (0-15) and likely up against it here if missing the break from a low draw.

Spotlight: Always doing enough in a 7f fillies' maiden at Southwell (12-1) last October; bitterly disappointing for most of 2025, although wasn't beaten far at Southwell (eighth of 11) latest; needs something extra in the newly applied cheekpieces.

Spotlight: With Des Donovan when winning by a short head over 7f here (3-1; from 1lb lower) in April; less productive thereafter, and now debuts for a different trainer off a 199-day absence; course record (3-5) isn't enough to tempt unless market support arrives.

Spotlight: Fallen a long way in the weights since his last win at Newmarket (1m, heavy) in November 2023; weakened (ninth of 12, beaten 15l) when returning from a three-month absence over C&D (33-1) just over a fortnight ago; others more persuasive.

Spotlight: Gradually lost his way for Hugo Palmer (0-10) and unable to muster much to enthuse about in two starts for this trainer, eighth of ten (beaten 14l) over C&D (66-1) just over a fortnight ago; focus elsewhere.
