Spotlight: Won at Kempton (1m, AW) last August on second and final 2yo start and reappeared with good second there (1m) last month before winning on handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); had just five rivals to beat last time but did it nicely from a next-time-out winner and a 4lb penalty may well not stop this very unexposed 3yo, who is in excellent hands to continue to progress.

Spotlight: First home in the near-side group when fourth in this last year (good to firm) and he won over C&D on his reappearance; always behind after a slow start at York last month but the return to this C&D could be a major plus and he's only 1lb higher than for his last win; firmly in calculations.

Spotlight: Agonisingly beaten a nose in this last year (good to firm) and continued the good work this season, including a win at Sandown in July; a line can be put through his midfield finish at Glorious Goodwood (trouble in running) and he could have another big part to play, despite a career-high mark.

Spotlight: Placed in handicaps at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) and York's Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to soft) before winning a 3yo handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 16 days ago; Ryan Moore rode last time and remains on board today; progressive and he's one to consider under a 4lb penalty.

Spotlight: 5yo who is lightly raced for his age and has been highly progressive in handicaps this year, winning at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May before excellent second in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to firm); soundly beaten in French Group 3 last time but could go well back in a handicap.

Spotlight: Beaten just a head at Sandown on his two starts this summer (1m2f, good/good to soft), most recently four weeks ago when headed in the final strides; this 4yo has raced only eight times and could still have more to offer; not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: 2l fifth of 14 in handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) where he would have been closer still but for being hampered close home, and he's since been third in a first-time hood (retained) in a Group 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good) where he was up against it on ratings; 4lb ahead of the handicapper and there is lots to like regarding this progressive 3yo's chance.

Spotlight: Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and at the other Newmarket course (1m, good) in June, and he was a close third at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; however, it's been an inconsistent campaign and he was soundly beaten back at Ascot (1m, good) last time; others are more solid.

Spotlight: 3yo who won his first four handicaps in the spring (including on good to firm) and was a close third to Bourbon Blues at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) this month prior to winning by 2l at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last Saturday; continues on the up and he's on the shortlist under a 4lb penalty.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who was a good fourth at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and York's Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to soft) prior to winning at Chester (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; might not be far away under 4lb penalty.

Spotlight: Made it two wins for the year when scoring on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last month and denied a clear run when close second off this mark at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) latest; up in grade this afternoon but this progressive 4yo is 2lb well in and is not ruled out each-way.

Spotlight: Fine second at York (1m2f, good to soft) last month and won at Doncaster (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; a 4lb penalty takes him to a new career-high mark but he looked better than ever last time and Karl Burke and Clifford Lee have combined to win the last two runnings of this race with topweights.

Spotlight: 3yo who continued his progressive ways when overcoming trouble in running to win a competitive handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm); finished last in a Group 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good) subsequently but could bounce back with a big performance returned to a handicap.

Spotlight: He's run some really promising races in defeat for his new yard this year, just running out of stamina when sixth of 22 in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July and finishing third there (1m, good to soft) last month; this trip could be a good fit and he's an each-way player.

Spotlight: Finished strongly for second of 19 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and bounced back from a lesser run at York (first encounter with slow ground) when third at Ascot (1m, good) three weeks ago; today's extra furlong may prompt some improvement and this 3yo might be in the mix.

Spotlight: Not seen to best effect when fifth at Ascot (1m, good) latest but prior to that he was a close second to Indalo (1m, good to firm) in July and this lightly raced 4yo is not ruled out in view of that penultimate effort.

Spotlight: Produced a career-best performance when a well-backed winner on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't at the same level at Ascot (1m, good to firm) subsequently and has to leave that run behind.

Spotlight: Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and also scored on two of his next three starts (1m, good to firm); merely mid-division at York (1m, good to soft) last time and, while he's shaped as though this extra furlong could be a positive, it's possible that the handicapper is now in charge.

Spotlight: Runner-up at Ripon (1m2f, good) in May and some respectable efforts since but it's likely that this exposed 4yo is vulnerable once more.

Spotlight: Irish challenger who won at the Curragh (1m, good) in June then finished second of 17 at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); however, he hasn't really kicked on since and needs something extra today.

Spotlight: Ex-French 4yo who can be difficult to settle and has had an inconsistent season, but his best performance came in the biggest field he encountered, which bodes well for today; that was when third past the post in the John Smith's Cup at York in July (1m2f, good to firm; demoted to fifth due to interference) and he's 3lb lower this afternoon; interesting at massive odds.

Spotlight: Reappeared with a win in the Lincoln at Doncaster in March and he's just 1lb higher today; however, no better than ninth across his four starts since and he needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who made a promising start for his new yard this year and won at Ayr (1m2f, good) in July; however, he's struggled on his four subsequent starts (had a wound on right-hind when tailed off at Ayr last week).

Spotlight: Lightly raced 5yo who hasn't been with this trainer long and has posted encouraging performances on his last two starts; however, he's in a hotter race today and others have more compelling claims.

Spotlight: Two near-misses this summer (1m1f/1m, good) prior to winning in a big field at York (1m, good to firm) in July; however, it seems he's gone off the boil and he is 3lb out of the handicap here.

Spotlight: French winner whose best British result came when beaten a head in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; blinkers were applied when well beaten at York three weeks ago and cheekpieces return today, but he may find this too competitive even if he's back on song.

Spotlight: Three-time French winner whose mark continues to fall; encouraging run at Epsom in June on second start for the stable but three lesser performances have followed and he's hard to fancy.
