Spotlight: Made debut in June and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on second start before following up in Lingfield novice (11.6f, good); this well-bred Frankel colt has potential off his opening mark; player on AW debut.

Spotlight: Best run yet when 1l second of six to improved Godolphin winner on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 9-4) ten days ago; he should be suited by the likely strong pace in this big field and his trainer won this with a 3yo in 2022; firmly in calculations off the same mark.

Spotlight: Won Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, Tapeta) in March and suited by the step up to 1m4f when winning at Newbury in June on his third handicap start; could continue to progress for trainer who won this with a 3yo last year.

Spotlight: Lightly raced, ex-French 4yo who has run fairly encouraging races on his last two starts (including C&D); however, he's been unable to threaten the winner either time and needs something extra this evening.

Spotlight: Left his first two runs behind when third at 50-1 at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); in excellent hands to continue to progress and one to be interested in on handicap debut.

Spotlight: Kicked off campaign with two wins (1m4f/1m5f, including on Tapeta) but merely mid-division on his last two starts on slow ground he should have been fine with; needs to raise his game.

Spotlight: Beaten on last 11 starts and merely sixth at Chepstow latest, but he has an each-way shout on this year's best turf form and his career-best RPR came on his sole previous AW run, when winning on the Wolverhampton Tapeta.

Spotlight: Front-runner who hasn't shone at Haydock and Wolverhampton on his last two starts; however, he won four times over 1m2f here earlier this year and is 2lb lower than when a close fourth of 19 in the Northumberland Vase here (2m) in June; could have a part to play now back here.

Spotlight: Mixed form since his 1m4f win at York in May but he was a close fourth at Ascot (1m4f) recently and he won a maiden here in 2023 on his sole previous visit to Newcastle; might not be far away.

Spotlight: Won here (1m2f) in May and returned to form when second at Thirsk (1m4f) latest; needs to back up that performance in this higher grade and he's seemingly exposed on turf, but that's not the case on AW; not ruled out.

Spotlight: Close third over C&D in June and second of five at Musselburgh a fortnight ago; however, he's 0-15 and it will be tough for him to get off the mark today from 4lb out of the handicap.

Spotlight: Two wins in the spring (1m3f/1m6f, including Tapeta) and close second at Chester in June; however, well beaten on his last two starts and needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: 6yo who has been consistent in the main this season but he finished down the field in the Racing League at Chepstow a fortnight ago and is probably vulnerable once more.
