Spotlight: He's not obviously well treated off this opening mark but has shown some ability among his first three starts (7f/6f, AW) and is bred to be better than this grade; no surprise if he takes a sizeable step forward.

Spotlight: Ended his 2yo campaign with a whimper but a gelding operation has bucked his ideas up and he has run well for second in two 6f handicaps this spring; likely to be bang there once again.

Spotlight: He has left his 2yo form well behind him since gelded and handicapping, winning easily at Dundalk in April before dead-heating at Chepstow last month (both 5f); 6f should suit and he could have more in the tank.

Spotlight: Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps has seen him make good progress since November, winning for the third time when making all at Catterick last month (6f, good); up 3lb and he has other pace to contend with in this bigger field.

Spotlight: Won a 5f claimer at Beverley last spring; on a good mark on his best handicap form and his latest Ripon fourth can be upgraded (not ideally positioned); each-way shout.

Spotlight: Ran poorly at Newcastle in March, a run that was all the more disappointing as he had decisively won a Redcar nursery on his final 2yo start; still has time to come good and he sports a hood on his return from another 12 weeks off.

Spotlight: Dropped to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago and made all to register his first success; has a 4lb rise to overcome in a deeper race but he should be fine at 6f and is unexposed.

Spotlight: One win from eight starts, namely a 6f handicap at Ripon last month when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; the headgear was absent when sixth back at Ripon 17 days ago and no surprise to see it back in place today; respected.

Spotlight: 0-9 but placed off this mark in his three runs this year (7f-1m, AW); absent since February and he has a bit more to prove both on turf and over 6f.

Spotlight: Back to form when third of six in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton last month, her second run for Ross Burdon; she will need more to defy this mark but she now has something to build on.

Spotlight: Nine-race maiden; well treated on his 2yo best but yet to shine for David O'Meara this year; drops into a Class 6 but others have more pressing claims.

Spotlight: Didn't run badly on her handicap debut (6f, good) in April but she failed to build on it at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (7f); tongue-tie now left off and cheekpieces are tried.

Spotlight: 6f AW win for William Haggas in January (blinkered first time); unplaced in three runs for Martin Dunne and now starts out for another new yard (same owner) with headgear discarded.

Spotlight: Poor form for current stable and hard to recommend; cheekpieces replace a hood.
