Spotlight: Off the mark at the seventh attempt when beating 13 rivals in a C&D handicap last month; up 3lb but that was a smooth success and this well-bred 3yo is open to more progress; big player.

Spotlight: 6f Tapeta winner 12 months ago; ran some good races in defeat for Charlie Hills this year and not beaten far from tough draw on stable debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; looks interesting if he can build on that and he's unexposed at this trip.

Spotlight: His last three wins have been over C&D and latest was off this mark in February; lightly raced since that last success but he's not made an impact in two runs this autumn and needs to raise his game.

Spotlight: Just 1-25 on turf but he recorded his fifth AW win when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he's respected back at this track.

Spotlight: 3yo who has improved since a gelding operation, winning over C&D last month before his second behind He's A Gentleman at Wolverhampton; still has low mileage and he's strongly respected off same mark as last time.

Spotlight: Seven-time winner, with three on turf and four on AW; his last success was 11 months ago but he finished well to go close at Catterick (6f, good; visor reapplied) last month and is only 1lb higher on this step back in trip; possibilities.

Spotlight: Five-time AW winner who cashed in on a reduced mark at Chelmsford (7f) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when dropped to 6f at Newcastle last time but he was beaten less than 2l and still looks feasibly treated; dangerous back up in trip.

Spotlight: All four wins have come on Tapeta at Wolverhampton but he ran well to finish third from a wide draw at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has each-way claims back on Tapeta.

Spotlight: Made it 3-4 at Southwell when landing a C&D handicap in February but he's not been in the same form since and was last of eight at Ayr last month; now returns to Tapeta but he needs to be back near his best.

Spotlight: Won a Newcastle maiden last October; struggled in his first five handicaps but turned things around when third of 14 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace but he's on a higher mark back on AW and this return to 7f is not sure to suit; some reservations.

Spotlight: Having dropped in the weights he returned to form when first past the post at Pontefract (6f; cheekpieces first time) in September, only to be demoted to second in the stewards' room; that was off today's mark but he's been well held in his three subsequent runs and others are preferred.

Spotlight: Won a Wolverhampton handicap (7f) in April and a Leicester seller last month; midfield on stable debut at Redcar two weeks ago but he got hampered by a loose horse and wasn't beaten far; it's hard to rule out a good run back on AW but he's exposed and looks weighted near his best.

Spotlight: 6f novice win as a 2yo but she's struggled in five handicaps, including in two runs for new yard this autumn; still lightly raced but she needs a transformation at this new trip.

Spotlight: Promising third in a Leicester novice (7f, good) last month but that is his standout effort and he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Newmarket three weeks ago; still unexposed after only four starts but this mark looks tough and others are preferred.
