Spotlight: Six wins in 2025, at 1m2f to 7f, forging well clear when returned to the latter trip at Ayr (heavy) 16 days ago; up 7lb but, unless having raced at least twice every month since April finally takes a toll, he should continue the fine work.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 3yo who raced over 6f initially but proved suited by the step up to 7f when winning an amateur jockeys' race a shade cosily at Ascot (good to soft) 22 days ago; has to cope with more testing ground and a 5lb rise but he looks set to go higher.

Spotlight: Some good results last autumn included two 1m wins, in a lady amateurs' race at Ascot and a Newmarket handicap (both on soft); not seen again until September and although on the back burner since, including when dropped to 7f this month, he might well fare better on ground that suits.

Spotlight: Three 1m wins in France, including a Listed on soft, in 2022; has knocked on the door over 1m for this yard in 2025, all off today's mark, before never involved over 1m2f at York recently; now returns to 7f for the first time since April 2024 but it could suit on today's heavy ground.

Spotlight: Two 7f wins in 2024, on soft and heavy; in the frame four times this year without looking well treated and his defeat at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers now replaced with first-time cheekpieces) was a heavy one; others more likely.

Spotlight: Multiple wins, seven on soft or heavy; he does most of his racing over further and hasn't been at his best since winning at Carlisle in June (when 2lb higher) but he did win his most recent attempt over a bare 7f, at York last October, and has more going for him than most.

Spotlight: Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month.

Spotlight: Enters the equation on best 7f form this year but his latest run at York, where he often goes well, was a letdown; seems to handle heavy ground, having finished close up in his sole attempt on it, but it's not necessarily a plus and he has a shade to prove now.

Spotlight: Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround.

Spotlight: All four wins at 6f, including on heavy last October, but he hasn't been nailing it in just three runs this year and these will be tough conditions in which to prove stamina in first attempt at 7f.

Spotlight: All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on.

Spotlight: Handles heavy going but all turf wins on ground no slower than good to soft; weighted to pick up another race off his current mark but he hasn't won a 7f handicap for over two years and has it to prove on his efforts since a claiming win in August.

Spotlight: Progressed well as a 2yo, ending with a 6f win at Newbury (heavy; also stays 7f); has kept it low key in just three runs this season but more testing ground can play in his favour; now has a go in cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Successful 2yo debut (7f, good to soft) last summer before finishing second of seven in a Group 2 at Goodwood; nothing like the same horse in handicaps since though, including for new yard on last two starts, and he isn't running near his mark at present.

Spotlight: Sole win in 7f AW novice; has run respectably over this trip on grass but no soft-ground form to speak of and others are more likely to handle the conditions; first-time tongue-tie latest, now discarded.
