Spotlight: Running well in defeat in 5f/6f handicaps on AW prior to getting off the mark at the 17th attempt in Newcastle maiden (6f, AW) three weeks ago; positive performances on all three previous visits here; untested at 7f but it's possible the trip will be within range; in the mix if seeing it out.

Spotlight: 0-16 last year but runner-up four times, including over C&D last October when last seen; he's run well on his reappearance in each of the last two seasons and this three-time C&D winner could be bang there.

Spotlight: In fine form for new yard last autumn, predominantly on AW but also when close third at Redcar (7f, good); he can play a leading role if continuing the good work on this return to action.

Spotlight: 13-race maiden who wasn't at his best towards the end of last year; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and it will be no surprise if he's in the shake-up on this reappearance, for which he wears a first-time visor.

Spotlight: He's won just once since making his British debut in October 2023; however, that came this January (7f, AW) and a slow start proved costly when back at 6f at Southwell last Thursday; effective on turf and might not be far away now back up in trip.

Spotlight: His last four wins have come over 6f here; can't be ruled out given his record here and one of those wins came on good ground, but soft going appears to bring out the best in him and 6f looks to be his optimum trip; races for the first-time since December.

Spotlight: Inconsistent last year but won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in August on his third handicap start and wasn't beaten far in fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when last seen; remains lightly raced and could be a contender.

Spotlight: Progressive after joining this yard last May, winning three times at Ripon (1m, good) and posting a close third at Ayr (1m, soft) in September when last seen; the drop back to 7f might not be ideal on his reappearance but he's one to consider nevertheless.

Spotlight: Below best at the end of last season and she's 0-12; wears a first-time hood for this return, having worn blinkers then cheekpieces on final two runs last term; on a handy mark on last season's best efforts (including over C&D) and she's not discounted.

Spotlight: All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here.

Spotlight: She lost her form last autumn but won four times during a busy 2025, two of them over C&D (good/good to firm), and a break may have helped; she's 3lb below her last winning mark and could have a big say.

Spotlight: He's 6lb lower than when winning at Ripon (6f, good to soft) last May and he may have needed his recent comeback run at Newcastle; however, he was also below his best on his final few starts last term and 6f may suit best.

Spotlight: Down the field at Southwell (1m, AW) in February on sole run this year but he's just 1-22 on AW as opposed to 5-31 on turf; won in good style over C&D (soft) last October and, while slow ground would boost confidence in his claims, he may be okay on good going; on the shortlist now back here.

Spotlight: Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October.
