Spotlight Acts on good to firm and good to soft; ex-French 5yo whose British turn looks near, having gone close in competitive 1m handicap at the York Ebor festival most recently (fifth start for present yard); shortlisted.

Spotlight Doesn't have a great strike-rate but he hasn't been with this stable for that long and overcame some trouble in running when mowing down a couple of 3yos at Haydock (1m, good) a fortnight ago; a 4lb rise for that looks manageable.

Spotlight Continued his progressive ways when comfortably making all at Hamilton (1m, good) in July; creditable efforts in handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meeting since; one to consider in these slightly calmer waters.

Spotlight Has finished down the field on all five starts this season, including twice at Chester where he has a strong overall record; however, the fact he's a dual winner of this race (last year off 7lb higher) makes him a dangerous one to discount.

Spotlight Consistent efforts in some strong 1m 3yo handicaps this year on going ranging from good to firm to soft; interesting now taking on his elders for the first time.

Spotlight Won both starts in France as a 2yo; first real spark since coming to Britain when never-nearer fourth of ten over 1m at Ripon (good) 26 days ago; Danny Tudhope, who was on board at Ripon, sides with stablemate Mirsky this time but still no surprise were this 4yo to get involved.

Spotlight Has produced some respectable performances in defeat this season; easy enough to forgive a lesser run in a red-hot York handicap last time; 3lb lower now and he's one who could go well at likely bigger odds.

Spotlight Useful 1m/1m2f form in Ireland and joined current team for 80,000gns; last month's York stable debut over this trip wasn't without promise but he trailed throughout (hung left) over 1m2f at Doncaster last Saturday; hard to make a strong case for after that.

Spotlight Won three in a row in June (7f, good/good to firm) and continued in good form the next twice; down the field at Windsor most recently but not the type to stay down for long.

Spotlight Dead-heated for first at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in May; some good efforts since (including third over C&D) but never involved back at Thirsk last time.

Spotlight Close fourth of 17 over 7f at York in June but faded over 1m at the Ebor meeting there (Mirsky well ahead in second) last month and has yet to prove he stays this far.

Spotlight Two wins in midsummer but his last two runs suggest the handicapper is winning the argument for now; drawn widest.

Spotlight Slow start for this yard but he capitalised on the drop into Class 4 company with a game success at Carlisle (7f, good) last month; a 4lb rise proved enough to catch him out at Chester since, though.

Spotlight Yet to find his best form for his new stable this year; bit better when sixth at Haydock on penultimate run but down the field in refitted cheekpieces (retained) at Southwell since; could only consider if backed.
