Spotlight: Pretty quiet in Ireland this year but, after a 15,500gns sale in August, he broke his duck at the first attempt for new connections at Chester (1m6f, heavy) and followed up in five-runner race at Ffos Las (2m, soft) eight days later; latest 6lb rise may demand a career best but he's on a roll.

Spotlight: Thrown in on his old Flat form; no win of any sort since May 2024 but his rallying second at Haydock (1m6f, soft) 16 days ago gives renewed hope; unraced beyond 1m6f on Flat; one of three runners for his yard.

Spotlight: French Flat winner who was a pretty useful hurdler last season, third of 22 in the big 4yo handicap at Cheltenham on final start; can make the running; interesting if he's sufficiently tuned up.

Spotlight: Won at Doncaster (1m4f) in June and Pontefract (2m1f; sole start in cheekpieces) in August; the latter was his final start for Brian Ellison and he also ran creditably with an AW third (dead-heated with Rogue Empire) on debut for new connections; ground probably okay and he has each-way claims.

Spotlight: Three seconds (one C&D) on turf in May/June but off the boil last two outings; absent three months before latest, so perhaps that run was needed.

Spotlight: Thriving once the cheekpieces went on last December, winning six of his ten starts in them; nine of those race were AW but he also scored over C&D on good in May; he needs to rebound, however, after his last of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June and there's no headgear today.

Spotlight: All five of his Flat wins were at Goodwood (from 20 visits); no joy since June 2025 and he's had a mixed 2026 but the best of those results were again at Goodwood; pulled up over hurdles eight days ago but that was due to a slipped saddle; can't be ruled out.

Spotlight: Hat-trick at about 2m in May/June and has run creditably for minor honours on last two outings (dead-heated for third with Division Day on penultimate start); not proven on ground softer than good, but considered.

Spotlight: Last two of his wins were last autumn (1m6f); went very close at Salisbury (1m4f) in May and fair fifth at Bath (race he won last year) four weeks ago was his best show since; has 2m AW form and could be on his way back.

Spotlight: The last of his 11 wins was in July 2024 but he missed most of last year and has taken minor honours in three of his six starts this term, including the last two; unraced beyond 1m6f on Flat; not totally ruled out.

Spotlight: Won this race last year (after four months off; 1lb higher today) and followed up over hurdles in November; not seen since a fall over hurdles at turn of the year but needs a close look for yard which runs three; he was the second-shortest priced (8-1) of their four runners in it last year.

Spotlight: Career-best hurdles form was 9l win at Fontwell (2m2f) in June but he fell early in August in his latest hurdle race; last seen on Flat turf in May 2024 (dual 2m winner in 2023) and never dangerous in two AW races this year; other options may be more solid.
