Spotlight :
Maiden (0-6); positive signs since gelded/switched to handicapping; runner-up at Southwell (1m4f; 16-1) on penultimate start, and did well to finish a closing fourth (off a slow pace) at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on Saturday; key player with Hector Crouch taking over in the saddle.

Spotlight :
Resumed winning ways over C&D (Class 6; 11-4 favourite) in September, and consistent from higher marks thereafter; short break since finishing a creditable fourth at Lingfield (1m4f) in December, a form line which has been well advertised; shortlist material.

Spotlight :
C&D winner (from 4lb lower) with Rossa Ryan aboard in September 2023; has undertaken most of his racing over hurdles since then, finishing runner-up at both Wincanton (1m7f) and Taunton (2m) early last year; isn't discounted, but race fitness is a concern off a 344-day break.

Spotlight :
Productive between February and April last year, winning three, getting the ball rolling over C&D (Class 6; 11-2, from 4lb lower) and then adding to the tally on turf at Bath and Doncaster; latest fourth-place finish (here, 1m3f) was a respectable effort; place possibilities.

Spotlight :
Mixed fortunes since winning at Lingfield (1m4f, Class 6; first-time cheekpieces, same mark with Rab Havlin aboard) last September; attracted support when more competitive in a first-time visor at Lingfield (1m4f, third, beaten 2l) 16 days ago; no issue with Kempton, so isn't without a chance.

Spotlight :
15-race maiden; making just her second start for Matt Crawley when sixth (immediately in front of tonight's rival Inlet) over 1m4f at Southwell over Christmas; stamina reserves remain inconclusive beyond 1m2f, so others make more appeal.

Spotlight :
Slipped to a near career-low mark and took advantage when winning over 1m3f here (Class 6; 100-30) three weeks ago; appears to have drawn benefit from wind surgery, so there could be more to come from only 4lb higher; one of the likelier candidates.

Spotlight :
Prominent racer; beaten a short-head when runner-up at Southwell (1m4f; from 2lb higher) last March but disappointing, stopping quickly, on his next two appearances (1m2f-2m); absent since and best watched on return from a 251-day break.

Spotlight :
Often slowly away and hasn't shown a great deal so far, including when seventh of 11 on recent Southwell (1m4f, Class 6; 33-1) handicap debut; dam was a 1m-10.5f winner (including in a Group 3), so it would be foolish to write her off just yet.

Spotlight :
Triple-figure odds and little impact in AW novice contests at Chelmsford and Southwell (1m-1m3f); switches to handicapping at a realistic level, with her best effort (RPR 58) coming over a similar distance; improvement necessary.

Spotlight :
15-race maiden; never better than midfield when returning from a nine-month break over 1m2f at Lingfield (Class 6, 50-1) prior to Christmas; may strip fitter, but it's tough to have confidence having not shown peak form since summer of 2023.

Spotlight :
2-49; won a 1m Class 6 apprentices' handicap at Brighton (soft; 2-1 favourite) in September before losing his way; work to do with Sneaky Blinder from their recent course clash, but that was a slightly better effort (seventh; RPR 47) and Hollie Doyle is a noteworthy booking.

Spotlight :
16-race maiden; struggled over hurdles during the autumn, and has seemingly found his stamina reserves stretched at 2m (Lingfield; Class 6) since returning to the Flat; drop back in trip and easing mark helpful, but not enough to tempt.

Spotlight :
2-28; last win came from a 7lb higher mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Class 6, 7-4 joint-favourite) in March 2022; no worthwhile form (0-4) since returning last spring; difficult to build a case for unless sustained market support arrives.
