- Form : 4312- Age : 3 Weight : 9-7
+333 +300SP Spotlight : Improved with each run as a juvenile, winning Epsom maiden in September before close second in Listed event at Doncaster; handicapper had something to say about that performance, but she has plenty of speed and this drop in trip could bring about further progress; has the rail to help too.

+350 +300 +250SP Spotlight : Nibbled at in the market when making winning debut at Kempton in September and improved on that when chasing home Dubawi Gold on second start; another winter on his back should bring about further progress and interesting contender now upped to 1m.

+275 +333 +300SP Spotlight : Readily accounted for his rivals on juvenile debut and turned in an improved performance when making most of the running to land the Feilden Stakes on his reappearance, digging deep once challenged; was given a fine ride on that occasion, but remains capable of better still and the extra distance here will be in his favour.

+333 +350SP Spotlight : Oaks entry who shaped with plenty of promise when second to the 87-rated Poplin on her debut at Goodwood in September; this longer trip should suit on pedigree and a leading contender in this field.

Going: Good
- Glencadam Gold
- Queally, T/Cecil, H
- Form : 21-2 Age : 3 Weight : 9-6
+250 +225 +200SP Spotlight : Built on debut promise when winning Nottingham maiden last backend and made a highly encouraging reappearance when narrowly beaten (in what is traditionally a very strong handicap) at the Newmarket Craven meeting ten days ago; should be more to come and commands plenty of respect, assuming this race doesn't come too quickly; tongue-tie fitted.
