Spotlight: Two wins and a close second in his three handicap starts, the latest win a snug one at Ripon two weeks ago (6f, good); up 6lb and drops to 5f for the first time since his debut but he's progressive and shouldn't be underestimated.

Spotlight: Good second at Thirsk on his stable/seasonal debut in April and backed it up with another good run at Chester last month (both 5f, good); a slow start did him no favours here four weeks ago, unable to adopt his customary prominent position; a 2lb higher mark has now kicked in but a return to form would be no surprise.

Spotlight: Ended 2025 with a pair of AW handicap wins; returned from five months off with a good fourth at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good); can win more races but perhaps not this one.

Spotlight: Showed promise for Adrian Nicholls and he had plenty to spare when making all in a 5f handicap at Catterick on his stable debut; 8lb higher and raised two classes but he's unexposed at 5f.

Spotlight: Down the field in three maiden/novice runs in April (7f, good and 6f, AW); dropped to 5f at Catterick 13 days ago and came from off the pace to win with far more authority than the neck margin might suggest; should get a strong pace to aim at and there could be more in the tank; interesting.

Spotlight: Off the mark at the eighth attempt - his first run in a visor - when fending off 11 rivals at Newcastle last month (5f, AW; Class 6; front pair clear); a 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out.

Spotlight: Began the year with two good runs at Southwell but backwards steps in three runs back on turf; others look stronger.

Spotlight: Consistent rather than progressive as a 2yo; didn't run badly at Thirsk 12 days ago but more will be needed here and he's due to be 2lb lower from the weekend.

Spotlight: Beat Empress Olivia at Catterick in April (5f, good) but unable to match that twice since; steps up in class and needs a career best.

Spotlight: Off the mark at the 12th attempt, her first 5f start, at Lingfield last month (good ground); while she could have more to offer at this trip, a 7lb rise does ask a much stiffer question of her.

Spotlight: Yet to add to her debut win in ten runs since; has shaped well on occasions, however, and no surprise to see her go well with a tongue-tie back in place.

Spotlight: Started the season with two good runs, notably a 6f win at Ripon in April (good to soft); two subsequent runs less convincing and connections now reach for cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Ready winner of a four-runner 5f fillies' novice at Musselburgh last October (soft ground; final run for Kevin Philippart de Foy); two runs for new stable have been well short of that level; others look stronger.

Spotlight: He was having his first run back from wind surgery when second to Forest Phoenix at Catterick (5f, good to firm; made the running); 2lb better off with his old rival now handicapping, and this track should suit, but it still might not be enough to turn the tables.
