Spotlight: Thriving 5yo who has won her last three (6f/5.5f, good), all under Lauren Young, most recently the Portland at Doncaster last Saturday; has won here three times and is effective on good to soft; this front-runner is able to run off 2lb lower than at Doncaster and could be tough to catch.

Spotlight: Has come from the rear for her two wins this season (6f/7f, good to firm; versatile ground-wise); looked as good as ever when keeping on for third at Haydock (7f, good) a fortnight ago and a strongly run 6f in a big field could prove ideal for this progressive filly; on the shortlist.

Spotlight: Got no run when favourite at Thirsk a fortnight ago and a line can be put through that race; effective in a big field and has an each-way shout on this year's best form (on various ground); wears first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: His losing run is up to 12 but he went close over C&D (good to soft) in July before 3l second at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) behind one who raced alone; won the Silver Cup in 2023 and he's one to consider.

Spotlight: 3yo who was a close third in a big field at York (6f, good) in June then won at Doncaster (6f, good to soft); beaten just a head by Top Juggler at Carlisle (6f, good) this month and is 3lb well in today; chance.

Spotlight: Progressive since these cheekpieces went on, winning at Doncaster (5.5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good) and finishing a close third of 16 to Eternal Sunshine at Thirsk (6f, good) recently despite having to wait for a clear run; he's right at home on slow ground and could play a leading role.

Spotlight: Two-time 7f course winner (heavy/good) who has been consistent in defeat here this season and was runner-up over today's C&D (good to firm) last month on a rare crack at sprinting; each-way claims once more.

Spotlight: 5yo who made it four wins for the season when scoring at Ripon (6f, good) last month; has also won on soft/good to soft; fared best of those drawn in single-figure stalls when close fourth of 16 to Eternal Sunshine at Thirsk (6f, good) a fortnight ago and he's not ruled out.

Spotlight: He's done all of his winning over 7f/1m (four of them here) but he kept on well for third of 18 in the Gold Cup Trial over C&D (good to soft) in July, when denied a clear run; a strong pace in this big field will set things up nicely for him, provided he gets the breaks; possible player.

Spotlight: Reappeared with a win at Musselburgh (7f, good) and runner-up on next two starts (6f, good to firm); has won here twice and is probably fine on slow ground; however, his progress has stalled on his last two outings and he needs a boost from the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).

Spotlight: C&D winner (soft) who has won five times this year, the latest when making all in a big field at York (6f, good to firm) in June, and he's been third at Ripon on his last two outings; each-way contender.

Spotlight: Somewhat wayward in first-time blinkers (retained) at Doncaster (6f, good) last Friday but nevertheless returned to form with a close fourth of 15; his wins have come on slow ground and he might not be far away.

Spotlight: Hasn't threatened since winning in good style at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in May and he's 2lb higher than when mid-division at Doncaster (5f, soft) last Sunday; however, he stayed on well and wasn't beaten far, and the return to 6f is worth exploring; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Spotlight: Second of 15 at Haydock (6f, good) in July and kept on strongly when close fifth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month; each-way claims now back up to 6f, provided the ground suits (unproven on a slow surface).

Spotlight: 9yo who has regressed and isn't easy to win with; well beaten at Thirsk (6f, good) recently but slow ground is his thing and he was denied a clear run off his reduced mark when sixth of 18 in the Gold Cup Trial over C&D (good to soft) in July; cheekpieces return (no positive impact previously); interesting contender if conditions are in his favour.

Spotlight: Prominent racer who won at Thirsk (6f, good) in July and is versatile ground-wise; has run pretty well on his last two starts and can give another good account, but needs something extra to win this competitive race.

Spotlight: 3yo who won two in a row in June (6f, good) before close thirds on his next two starts (including over C&D on good to soft); his form dipped at Chester three weeks ago but he's an each-way possible if bouncing back.

Spotlight: Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Soft-ground 2yo winner for Quinn yard last August and beat Territorial Knight by a head to win on recent stable debut at Carlisle (6f, good); could have more to offer for this yard and not ruled out under 5lb penalty.

Spotlight: Won at Kempton (6f, AW) recently, for which she carries a 5lb penalty; has won four times on turf (good-soft) but her last three wins have come on AW; needs to improve upon what she's shown on grass over the last 12 months.

Spotlight: Four-time winner whose mark has fallen 12lb this season, but he hasn't been shaping as though he's about to exploit it; a visor goes on.

Spotlight: Five AW wins early this year (5f/6f) and off the mark on turf at Haydock (7f) in May; his subsequent form has been mixed, however, and he's yet to shine on slow ground; others are more compelling.

Spotlight: 3yo who easily won 6f AW novice in June on third start but he needs to improve upon what he's shown in his three handicaps this summer.

Spotlight: Placed on first three starts of the season and has a lower mark today; however, those were at his favourite course Ripon and subsequent efforts haven't been up to scratch (at York/Ripon); this 9yo is probably vulnerable.

Spotlight: Easily made all in a small field at Yarmouth (6f, good) in June and has also won on good to soft; however, he's finished no better than eighth across his last three outings; wears a first-time hood.
