Spotlight: 11lb higher than when a close third behind Bright in this race last year; won well at Thirsk on Friday night and officially 2lb well in under a penalty; Warren Fentiman's claim helps and she's one for the shortlist.

Spotlight: Unexposed 3yo; 6f AW winner on debut before stretched by 7f on second start; went close on last month's handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft), travelling strongly but picked off in the final 50 yards; 1lb rise fine and she could progress again dropping to 5f.

Spotlight: Now 7lb higher than when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago; good second at Haydock when last seen 47 days ago and he should have a big run in him.

Spotlight: Ran quite well on turf 19 days ago but he's a better horse on AW and, bizarrely, gets in here off a 1lb lower mark than for his fine third in the Gosforth Park Cup in June; strong claims.

Spotlight: Cheekpieces have had a positive effect this year, winning four times (twice over C&D) and placed on several other occasions; last two runs not his best in form terms but he was still in contention at Redcar 12 days ago when trying to burrow up the far rail and finding his path blocked; should go well.

Spotlight: Won twice over C&D early in the year, the second win coming off just 2lb lower; absent since early April and back from a break perhaps not the time to catch him.

Spotlight: Strong at the finish when winning a 5f Beverley handicap in April; some solid 6f runs since and he's one to consider back down in trip, for all he'll need them to go hard up front.

Spotlight: Well suited by a stiff 5f, as when keeping on well to win at Sandown in June; similar form at Newmarket next time but his form dipped at Sandown four weeks ago; fully effective over C&D and not ruled out with a promising apprentice taking off a valuable 5lb.

Spotlight: Six course wins in a red-hot ten-week spell in early 2024; struggled in three turf runs back from a long absence this summer but didn't look a busted flush at Musselburgh two weeks ago and returning to this track will help; risky but not impossible.

Spotlight: Sprung a 66-1 shock at Southwell in May, his most recent AW outing, and he ran creditably off this mark at Musselburgh three weeks ago; not entirely solid but his AW record of 3-6 means he can't be confidently ruled out.

Spotlight: Won six times over 6f between January and May; creditable third at Wolverhampton 52 days ago; needs a career best in this field though and this is his first attempt at 5f.

Spotlight: Not prolific but he's capable of useful form on his day, as when coming from off the pace to win at Musselburgh in April (5f, good to soft); lowly mark but this looks competitive enough to head elsewhere.

Spotlight: Unsuited by the track at Newmarket on handicap debut 19 days ago (5f, good to soft); ran her best race over C&D on debut but others look more persuasive.

Spotlight: Three AW wins since joining this stable, the latest when making all at Kempton (6f) in April; disappointing on his last two starts though and enough to prove back from an 81-day break.
