Spotlight :
First attempt beyond 7f when taking advantage of handy mark in 1m handicap at Thirsk on Saturday; stamina likely to be tested more thoroughly on galloping track and forecast softer ground but rating peaked at 80 as a 3yo and has possibilities if seeing out the trip as well this time.

Spotlight :
Recent form is at claiming level but comes here firmly in the winning groove, having been successful three times from last four outings, and his mark of 70 looks solid; closely weighted with Rising Kheleyf on Redcar running two starts back; at the top of his game and can't rule out another big run.

Spotlight :
Only turf success was over two years ago but his narrow defeat over 7f at Leicester (soft ground) last week was the closest he's got to the target in this sphere since and may build on that effort given his win record suggests return to 1m is ideal; tongue-tie reapplied; forecast easy surface isn't an issue.

Spotlight :
Scottish-trained gelding who has done his winning north of the border, ending a long losing run over 1m1f at Ayr last month; not exactly an obvious type to follow up but there's always the chance his confidence will be boosted and his consitency can't be faulted, for all his strike-rate could be better.

Spotlight :
Consistent sort who hasn't finished out of the first four on last eight starts, including wins at Ayr and Thirsk; beaten off 70 the last twice but definitely worth that mark and his appeal lies in the fact he's pretty certain to give his running; a must for Placepot perms.

Spotlight :
Very off-putting that he hasn't won for nearly three years but started favourite for the first time in ages on his latest start (not beaten far when eighth in big field at York), which suggests he's thought capable of ending the drought; useful in the past, drops to 0-70 level for the first time and easing of the ground is a big plus.

Spotlight :
Has performed respectably a couple of times in 3yo handicaps for new stable since winning AW claimer on final start for Richard Hannon and didn't appear to have run of the race latest start; may benefit from slight drop back in grade and would be a fitting winner of a race for 'Leger Legends' with Pat Eddery having landed the Doncaster Classic four times.

Spotlight :
Consistency not his strong suit and recent form is at further but had feasible excuses the last twice and, having sometimes pulled hard over middle distances, may be worth a try back at 1m on galloping track; doubtless will have his supporters with John Francome on board.

Spotlight :
Beat only one rival on turf debut (albeit dropped back to 6f) last time and has a couple of questions to answer, having done most of his racing at 7f on AW; mixed messages in pedigree regarding step up to 1m but jockey (who also trains him) at least knows the horse inside out.

|
Spotlight :
Successful four times (6f-7f) from eight outings in 2009; winless in as many starts this season but the manner in which he kept on from rear over a testing 1m last time suggests he has the potential to prove fully effective at this trip now and has the ability to figure if back to best.

Spotlight :
Veteran who has yet to find top form this term and beaten in claimers on two of his last three outings, though extended 7f was too sharp latest; last visit to Doncaster resulted in a success (on good to soft) and has won in each of the last seven seasons but needs to bounce back.

Spotlight :
Raced only on AW, showing progressive form in 2yo maidens but racing too freely on seasonal/handicap debut upped to 1m (bred to stay); needs to settle better and is pitched into a competitive race for turf debut but has lowest mileage in the field.

Dramatic return to form when making successful debut for John Harris in Redcar claimer (had beaten a total of one rival in five starts previously this term) and showed himself competitive back at stronger level when second in Newcastle handicap next time; new yard may be able to get more out of him and enters calculations.

Spotlight :
Couple of placed efforts last month came in claiming grade (left James Given's yard for £5,000 after his second at Leicester) and stamina is taken on trust tried beyond 6f for first time, though elements of pedigree suggest he'll stay 1m; sole win came on Fibresand.

Spotlight :
Nottingham success in July ended a frustrating losing sequence and subsequent efforts don't suggest he's about to improve his strike-rate but has the potential advantage (along with Army Of Stars) of being ridden by the trainer, which means jockey-horse familiarity is taken as read.

Group 2 winner in Brazil as a 3yo and successful twice in handicap company in Dubai but hasn't shown much promise in two starts for new yard without usual blinkers; headgear still missing and seems best watched unless market suggests better is expected.
