Spotlight: Best effort for new stable when running on to force a dead-heat with Jungle Drums at Chelmsford two weeks ago; may well have the edge on that rival today and he's still relatively low mileage.

Spotlight: Listed winner at 2yrs for Karl Burke; struggled initially for this yard but he returned to from out of the blue when making all to win (dead-heated with reopposing Artagnan) at Chelmsford two weeks ago; still has handicapping scope despite a 2lb rise.

Spotlight: Won twice on turf when trained by George Boughey, the latest a 7f handicap off 2lb lower in June; unplaced in two runs for new trainer but has performed with credit; drops in trip for AW debut.

Spotlight: Well suited by this C&D and although he is 3lb higher than for his last win, this mark could well be in range around here; eighth, beaten under 4l, in the Ayr Gold Cup six weeks ago; this should be run to suit and he holds strong claims back down in class.

Spotlight: Looked extremely promising on AW early in his career; he was returning from a year off when down the field in a warm sprint at Newcastle and he fared better when fourth of nine at Dundalk 11 weeks ago; could be a more potent threat here.

Spotlight: Better than ever when winning at Thirsk in May; form has been in and out since but he has a slightly lower mark on AW and is effective on Tapeta; drawn wide.

Spotlight: Jolt of improvement this summer, winning a strong Leicester handicap in May and following up at York in June (both over 6f on good to firm); well beaten on his last two starts though and returns from a 12-week break with something to prove.

Spotlight: On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers.

Spotlight: His C&D win in April came off 5lb higher but little to celebrate since; needs the nine-week break to have revived his fortunes.

Spotlight: C&D winner one year ago; began the season with a good fourth in Listed company at Haydock but it has been a struggle since, albeit in good company; drops in class today but others look stronger.

Spotlight: The form of his Leicester win in August has been well advertised by the runner-up and he bumped into a rejuvenated rival (who subsequently won the Portland) at Thirsk later that month; struggled in a hot race at York three weeks ago but has a squeak on the Thirsk run; AW debut.

Spotlight: Three turf wins in France this year but neither start for his new yard marks him down as one to be on this time; gelded since last seen.

Spotlight: Good second over 5f here in August but two lesser efforts have followed; opposable on balance.

Spotlight: Inconsistent for this yard in 2025; of interest on his best efforts but he failed to fire under conditions that should have suited at Newbury last week.
