Spotlight: In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected.

Spotlight: Eleven turf wins, mostly at Hamilton but once over C&D, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; weighted to find another race and will be suited by returning to a track with a stiff finish following her persevering fourth at Ayr 13 days ago; thereabouts.

Spotlight: Two 6f wins on AW and he's continued in reasonable form since the latest of them in October; has a 5lb lower turf mark but he didn't come up with much on grass last summer and this is the first time he's worn headgear.

Spotlight: Has led but was ridden more patiently when doing well to get up close home at Redcar (7f, good) in November, considering he was slightly checked in his run; up just 2lb in only his third handicap and has more to come with this stiff test at the trip unlikely to be a problem.

Spotlight: Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level.

Spotlight: Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted.

Spotlight: Lightly raced maiden; creditable show over 1m on Southwell AW when returning from absence last October but he dropped right out over 7f at Musselburgh (hood added, now discarded) recently; has question marks now but he had 6f form as a 2yo so the return to shorter is surely worth a go.

Spotlight: Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain.

Spotlight: Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today.

Spotlight: Improved form when wide-margin winner of 6f novice on Wolverhampton AW in February; unable to replicate that form in Thirsk handicaps (6f, good) since, fitting a hood seemingly no help latest; needs much more.

Spotlight: High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her.

Spotlight: Not yet off the mark but he did run well in two 6f turf maidens (soft and good to firm) earlier in his career and the return to this trip may see more from him; this is competitive, though.

Spotlight: Broke duck over 7f at Catterick (good to firm) last July but nothing comparable since and has finished last in her two runs this year.
