Spotlight :
6f maiden winner his second start at two but raced over further the rest of 2009; back at this trip and won both starts for new yard, caught a little flat-footed in the middle of the race at York latest but ultimately quite convincing and will be suited by fierce gallop here; still open to improvement for trainer who's won this four times in the last ten years.

Spotlight :
Hasn't won since successful debut at Doncaster a year ago but been tackling very decent company and put a quiet run behind him when going very close in hot handicap against his own age group at Newmarket latest; handled that big field well and not hard to imagine him involved.

Spotlight :
Best form when getting some decent sprinters at it from long way out at Hamilton two runs ago but overall form this year has been mixed and didn't convince before or during the race at York in the meantime (favourite, beaten long way); penalty but up 9lb in future and could give him another chance.

Progressive AW sprinter over the winter; had hopes of doing as well on turf and strong message he was coming to hand on his second run back from a break at York latest when travelling smoothly and making good late headway; open to improvement and one to be interested in.

Talented but missed out on ideal opportunity when first home on the far side on his Newmarket reappearance in April; tendency to start slowly a worry in the meantime, especially at Newmarket latest, but decent run would be in keeping with the level of his ability.

Spotlight :
Good record here and though he generally raced over further for last trainer, he went well in a big-field C&D sprint in younger days; bubbling under for new trainer this year but 6f Epsom run last month, when hampered in running, suggests he'll be knocking on the door providing his path isn't blocked from this high draw.

Acts just as well downhill as on more conventional tracks and good efforts in defeat four of five starts this year, off a high enough mark; surprise if he's well enough handicapped to win race like this.

Basically quite progressive and recaptured form of late, just getting the gap in time at Chepstow latest; penalty not beyond him but this is a harder race and, though it may be a coincidence, he hasn't yet shown his form in big fields.

Spotlight :
Likes this track and another creditable effort over C&D the last time he ran here in October when on much the same mark; however, that run in less competitive race suggests he's got it to find at the weights and though he looked on the way back for new trainer latest, he'd prefer the ground to ease.

Had been quiet for new yard this year but back to something like his old form when strong late burst to win the 5f handicap here yesterday (ending four-year losing spell); equally at home over the extra furlong and possibilities, despite the step up in class, if turning out again.

Wasn't beaten far in quite well-contested Epsom handicap last month but, despite Doncaster win in the meantime, the balance of his form over the last two seasons suggests he'll be up against it against some progressive types.

Not quite nailing it in 2010 but latest York effort wasn't a bad one considering she's better suited by tracks with a stiff finish; remains to be seen whether this one is ideal either and a few more pounds off her back would be welcome.

Decent strike-rate in 6f handicaps over the last year but latest effort at Newmarket, when up further 6lb in the weights, suggests his run may have come to an end, at least relative to races like this.

Treading water off high marks in some quite competitive races during 2009 but benefited from drop in weights and being eligible for easier race on turf at Bath last month; couldn't describe him as progressive in the meantime but better over 5f at Ascot at the weekend and couldn't totally dismiss.

Excelled himself when beating Lowdown at Chepstow in May but the first-time visor clearly played its part and suffered relapse in turf events since; better with headgear left off returned to the AW latest but too risky at this level.

Spotlight :
This meeting used to bring out the best in him and close up in today's race in 2007 and 2008 but even a better Doncaster effort (had run of race disputing lead, best of his group) doesn't necessarily suggest he's about to capture race like this off mark which is still on the high side.

In good form in 5f-6f events in recent weeks but little reason to suspect he's ahead of the weights, especially with a penalty for scrambling home at Newmarket latest, and it looks tough task attempting to give the weight away in better company.

Handles this track so well and excellent fifth in the Stewards' Cup 12 months ago but trip to Dubai in the winter seems to have set him back as he's been below his best since his return, including here; potential reviver at any time off lenient mark but doesn't come here in ideal shape.

C&D winner of a fillies race last month but that was a few rungs below this one in terms of quality and the first-time visor she wore that day hasn't worked as well since; no improvement when it was left off latest and main positive is the booking of Ryan Moore.

Useful 6f handicap form for new trainer in March and though early-season form can be misleading and he's not done as well on quicker ground since, he'd have a chance of sorts if the rain gets to the track; otherwise he's got a bit to prove despite trainer's good record in this race.

Doubt this year's form over shorter would be good enough here but couple of decent 6f efforts last autumn and always possible he'll pull something better out of the bag back at this trip; wouldn't put him high on list at these weights even so.
