Recent Form and Comments
Coedana (3yo, 9st 9lb): She won on her handicap debut at Southwell (1m4f, AW) and subsequently improved to follow up comfortably at Newcastle (12.4f, AW). She showed promise in a Thirsk maiden (1m4f, good to firm) on her sole previous turf run. She is aiming for a hat-trick, despite an 8lb rise in weight.
Contacto (4yo, 9st 12lb): He had failed to progress earlier this year but got back on track with a nose second to High Point over this Course and Distance (C&D) three weeks ago (good to soft). He has a tougher draw this time, but there is every chance he will be thereabouts once more.
Spotlight Verdict
The Spotlight Verdict is that the 3yo Coedana has impressed on Tapeta in her first two handicaps and, having shown promise on turf previously, she can land the hat-trick. Gnomon, who won impressively here on his handicap debut, is feared most, and recent C&D winner High Point is next on the list.

Suitability
Coedana
Highly progressive, being 2-2 since entering handicaps. Did her latest work comfortably. Retains potential despite an 8lb rise.
Needs to transfer her winning handicap form from the AW (Tapeta) back to grass/turf.
Suited to the trip if her turf promise holds up.
Contacto
Demonstrated current good form by finishing a very close second over C&D recently.
Has struggled to progress this year. Faces a tougher draw compared to his last run.
Highly suited to the C&D/trip, having recently performed well here.

Accredit (2yo, 9st 11lb): He posted a promising third on debut at Sandown (7f, soft) and then easily won a three-runner maiden over 1m at the same track. He carries a 7lb penalty this afternoon but stands out as the one to beat for his top yard.
Uniter (2yo, 9st 4lb): He had an encouraging third on his debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in August. He was subsequently well beaten at Newbury (1m, good to soft) and has something to prove following that performance. He can give a good account if he recaptures his initial promise.
Spotlight Verdict
The Gosden-trained Accredit has shown considerable promise on both his starts at Sandown and can add to last month’s win there. Uniter was disappointing at Newbury last time but had previously run well at Kempton on his first start and could prove to be best of the rest. Brighton View and Double Combo could also give good accounts.

Was well beaten on his second outing at Newbury. Needs to bounce back to his initial form.

Eternal Force (3yo, 9st 9lb): A low-mileage 3yo who is 2-2 since being gelded. His latest success came in a competitive field at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on his handicap debut. This son of Dubawi looks the type to improve further and is respected.
Angel Hunter (3yo, 9st 11lb): A low-mileage and fresh contender, having raced only three times this term. He was successful in an Ascot classified event most recently, proving suited by the step up to 1m. He may have more to offer over this trip.
Spotlight Verdict
With further progress very plausible, Eternal Force could well complete a hat-trick. Angel Hunter (second choice) is unexposed at this distance and remains a fresh sort. Warrior Mode is an interesting handicap debutant, and Silver Sword also enters calculations.

Illys Roo (2yo, 9st 7lb): Showed big improvement on her second start when winning a Salisbury novice (7f, good) under Tom Marquand a fortnight ago. Her opening mark looks workable.
Territorial Star (2yo, 9st 2lb): She was runner-up in all three qualifying runs. She was placed again when finishing a solid third of 14 in a Redcar nursery (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago. The 7f trip promises to suit her.
Spotlight Verdict
The vote goes to March Ahead, who couldn’t dominate a valuable nursery last month but is well drawn to go forward this time. Illy’s Roo (second choice) won going away last time and looks a big threat on his nursery debut. Stella Barclay’s pair, Territorial Star and Go Victor, command respect, and Exhibitioning also has something to recommend her.

Splish Splash (2yo, 9st 2lb): Out of a 2yo Group 1 winner. She showed promise when third of 11 on debut at Newbury (6f) and an improved effort when fourth at Doncaster (7f). The drop back to 6f looks a good move and she sets a clear standard.
Whiskey Kisses (2yo, 9st 2lb): She ran green on debut but followed up with an eye-catching fourth at Chelmsford. She came on again to finish second back at Chelmsford (6f, AW) a fortnight ago. She should go well if the AW surface is not necessary for her best performance.
Spotlight Verdict
Some interesting newcomers line up for this but they will need to know their job and have plenty of ability to stop Splish Splash getting off the mark. Eve Johnson Houghton’s filly is already up to a solid level and this drop back to 6f can unlock more. Running Hot and Whiskey Kisses should also play a part.

Kinswoman (3yo, 9st 3lb): A well-bred and progressive 3yo. She was bidding for a hat-trick when finishing a close second of 18 at York last Friday (5f, good) off today’s mark. She is a leading candidate for her top yard. She carries 2lb over her declared OR, reflecting a 5lb penalty applied after calculation of the handicap.
Jer Batt (5yo, 9st 8lb): He has been beaten on his last 12 starts but consistently runs well. He finished a close third on his last two outings (5f, soft/heavy). His last win came over C&D (good) last August.
Spotlight Verdict
The progressive 3yo Kinswoman (nap) went close off today’s mark in a big field at York last Friday and can go one better today. Last year’s winner Trilby loves it here and is feared most on the back of some encouraging performances. The consistent Jer Batt and the 3yo Naana’s Sparkle could also be involved.

Brazilian Belle (3yo, 9st 8lb): In good form this summer, including a win at Thirsk (good to soft) in July. Recently back in good nick with an unlucky third at Musselburgh (5f, good). She is a leading contender.
Secret Mistral (5yo, 9st 7lb): A course regular who landed her third race here, making all over C&D (good) in July. Ran similar form when second at Chester (5.5f, soft) last time. She is considered a player.
Spotlight Verdict
Brazilian Belle (second choice) should prove popular after her unlucky third on Monday. Secret Mistral frequently goes well here and another strong shift can be expected. However, the vote is given to High Opinion, whose last race worked out nicely and is expected to take a step forward.
