Spotlight: Made second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1m) last May; creditable third on next three starts (including 7f) before failing to fire in cheekpieces (which are quickly discarded) on final 3yo outing; reappears with his stable back in form and high on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane.

Spotlight: Better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell (7f) under Gina Mangan in January; never involved over 1m at Doncaster next time but shaped as if still in form when fourth back at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago.

Spotlight: Four-time C&D winner, including twice in the month of May; got his head back in front at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; respectable return to turf when third of 11 at Bath (1m good) 17 days ago; can be expected to go well back at Chepstow.

Spotlight: His two wins for Michael Appleby came over a stiff 1m on soft ground in autumn 2024 but has a largely regressive profile since; offered a bit more for current yard when fourth at Wolverhampton in March but last of six at Kempton since (both 7f); it remains to be seen whether a return to turf helps.

Spotlight: Tumbled down the weights for Jamie Osborne without really looking like capitalising, but worth a second look in the betting for new yard back from four months off under Clifford Lee who has a very healthy 10-49 record for the stable.

Spotlight: Runner-up twice here (including 7f) last year but he's still a maiden after 28 starts; well-held fifth on 1m Bath reappearance five weeks ago and it's likely the wait for a first win will go on.

Spotlight: Sprung a surprise in a soft-ground Windsor maiden last September; no impact in handicaps since but the ground has been good to firm back on turf on her last two starts and today's conditions should be a bit closer to those which she encountered when winning; no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang.

Spotlight: A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago.

Spotlight: Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022.

Spotlight: Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here.

Spotlight: Won over 1m at Newmarket (good; also second on soft) in autumn 2024 but absent for 487 days prior to weakening into ninth of ten at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; entitled to strip fitter (return to turf may also help) but a leap of faith is needed.

Spotlight: Fair form when third in a 7f Leicester novice last October but it's a standout run so far, finishing well held in handicaps on all three subsequent outings; the stable also runs Wodao.
