Spotlight: Two sound performances under regular rider Brodie Hampson this term, winning at Newbury (1m2f) latest; back up the weights but defied higher marks in 2022 and 2023; major player.

Spotlight: Has form figures of 133 this term, the success over 1m; went close over 1m1f at York most recently; respectable fifth in big field over C&D last June and looks a solid contender.

Spotlight: Outstayed over 1m4f here last time and should benefit from this drop back in distance; triple 1m2f winner, most recently off 1lb higher in Class 2 last September; enters the reckoning.

Spotlight: Successful over 1m2f and 1m3f last season; consistent efforts this term, latest at Hamilton where he ran creditably despite hitting the front sooner than ideal; frame possibilities.

Spotlight: Ex-French maiden whose form for new yard features a couple of close seconds, suggesting there's a Class 4 handicap in him; below par in cheekpieces (now removed) last time.

Spotlight: Regained the winning thread at Ripon (1m2f) last week, having become nicely treated; back on career-high mark but still warrants respect with leading amateur Simon Walker booked.

Spotlight: Returns to his optimum trip, following a below-par effort over 1m4f here last time; respectable fifth (off 2lb higher) over C&D in sole start under Eireann Cagney; one for the shortlist.

Spotlight: Did well to be beaten about only 2l at Goodwood (1m) last time having blown the start; successful in amateur riders' event at Newmarket (1m1f) two seasons ago; interesting.

Spotlight: Has a touch of fourthitis since last autumn but by the same token he's proving consistent; the sole C&D scorer in this field and returns to York off a workable mark; in the mix.

Spotlight: Has shown best form in Class 6 and has never won away from Beverley; bit disappointing last time to boot but penultimate effort (split subsequent winners) gives him a good shout.

Spotlight: Has form over 1m2f but was below par (behind Westernesse) returned to this trip last week when bidding for a Ripon hat-trick; still seeking first success beyond 1m.

Spotlight: Failed to get home over 1m4f last time; solid form otherwise this year features a win at Yarmouth and good second to It's A Love Thing at Pontefract; possibilities back at 1m2f.

Spotlight: Unable to adopt usual prominent tactics in C&D event last time, having missed the break (always behind); mostly in great form otherwise this year, winning three times; not written off.

Spotlight: Retains a fair chunk of ability aged ten and recent form includes a couple of second-place finishes; didn't fare so well last time and this may prove too competitive.

Spotlight: Signs of a revival at Wetherby last week; back in a deeper field and still has a poor strike-rate on turf but he has some respectable form under Lauren Frost and mark is workable.

Spotlight: Ex-French 4yo who has inconsistent form in Britain and failed to get home when 50-1 over C&D (first attempt beyond 1m) most recently; far from solid.

Spotlight: 7f winner for previous yard; not seen on Flat since 2023 and has earned a hurdles mark of just 93 after three attempts in that sphere; opposed off 72 back under this code.
