Spotlight: 3yo who was a very close third over C&D last month on his second handicap start and has won over C&D on both runs since; didn't have much to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and is clearly progressive.

Spotlight: Disappointing favourite at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago on second stable start; however, prior to that he was a promising third over 7f here, when fading late on, and this two-time Irish winner is well worth a second look now back here in first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: 0-10 but he's run well in defeat in three of his last four races, most recently 1l third of 12 over C&D last week; can be bang there once more.

Spotlight: He's not easy to win with but he went close over C&D last month and has run well in fourth over C&D on both starts since, denied a clear run last Tuesday; consistent and there's a good chance he'll be in the mix.

Spotlight: 7yo who is on a long losing sequence; however, he twice ran well in fourth over C&D this autumn and faded when back up to 7f here last time; not ruled out each-way now back down to 6f.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who returned from a long absence last month and has posted two reasonable performances, including over C&D; however, he needs something extra if he's to get off the mark today.

Spotlight: Very well handicapped on C&D form as recent as March but he's finished merely seventh over C&D on his last two outings and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing blinkers) prompting a revival.

Spotlight: Beaten 21 times since last win last October but this seven-time course winner went very close over C&D last month and has since posted a 3l third of 11 here (7f; hung badly left); could be thereabouts.

Spotlight: Six-time C&D winner who ran some good races in defeat here early this year, and he was making headway when baulked over C&D 11 days ago on his second start back from a break; not discounted.

Spotlight: 1l second of six at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September when last seen and has a 5lb lower mark to work with on AW; has had just two chances on AW but has failed to beat a rival on either occasion, both times on Tapeta last autumn, so she has something to prove.

Spotlight: Down the field at Musselburgh and over C&D in October on his last two starts; however, he often runs well after a break and this C&D winner is 3lb lower than when a close second over C&D in May; could be a contender.

Spotlight: Her mark has tumbled and she's one to watch in the betting now back on AW in first-time blinkers after a break, but this ten-race maiden is hard to fancy on what she was showing in the summer.

Spotlight: Hint of promise when fourth of nine over C&D in August on second qualifying run; however, she finished last on handicap debut over 7f here in September and needs to be an entirely different proposition following a wind op.

Spotlight: 4yo who has raced only eight times; merely seventh over C&D in her first two handicaps, the latest last week, and improvement is necessary.
