Spotlight: Bids for a hat-trick after wins over 1m2f at Newcastle (Tapeta) and under Conor Whiteley at Doncaster (good to soft) six days ago; mark has gone up by the same amount as his penalty, so a player if seeing out the longer trip.

Spotlight: Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected.

Spotlight: Plenty of placed efforts over the past year or so and continues to edge down the weights, but 0-22 since his successful debut and this is a competitive race in which to attempt to regain the winning thread.

Spotlight: Ran with credit when fourth of 13 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 16 days ago having won over 1m2f here the time before, but his only previous go over this far didn't prove his stamina one way or the other.

Spotlight: Often a front-runner; record over C&D reads 1313, but this his first visit here since June 2024; losing run is up to 17 and he is drawn wide; visor the headgear of choice this time.

Spotlight: In good form for Denis Quinn in recent months including wins at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in December and over C&D in January; closely matched with Wonder on a couple of bits of form and respected on first start for John Ryan (same owner); stable also runs Tommy's Promise.

Spotlight: Losing run up to 15, but has won five times over 1m2f-1m4f here and is lower in the weights than when twice runner-up over C&D late last year; cheekpieces removed after one use; worth a second look.

Spotlight: Rattled off a four-timer over 1m2f on Polytrack during the winter, including three wins here; has never attempted this far on the Flat before, though, and will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

Spotlight: Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip.

Spotlight: Ended a 19-race losing run at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month, but couldn't get going in time when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 16 days later; appears to stay this far and holds each-way claims.

Spotlight: Five wins for the Johnston yard, but has not shown a great deal in six starts at Dundalk for this stable; needs to find more in the new headgear combination.

Spotlight: 0-5, but came closest to winning when beaten a nose over C&D in February; still unexposed, but he could have been better drawn.

Spotlight: C&D winner who defied a ten-month absence when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January, but a rise in the weights seems to have found him out twice since.

Spotlight: Often a front-runner; 13lb below last winning mark, but patchy form in five starts since returning from 14 months off in October; others make greater appeal.

Spotlight: Now 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last September, but whether he is running well enough to take advantage is debatable.
