Spotlight: Won a novice for William Haggas at Newcastle and plenty to like about his yard debut when overcoming some traffic to win over 7f at Abu Dhabi last month; 3lb higher but entitled to come on for that first run in 519 days; wide draw isn't ideal and has the potential to bounce.

Spotlight: Losing run goes back to C&D success three years ago; may have needed last month's return over 6f having missed all of last term and handicapper is giving him a chance; respected back up in trip but drawn wider than ideal.

Spotlight: Needed his return but has hit the crossbar in two runs since at Abu Dhabi, including back at this trip behind Daarkom last time; has been eyecatching in both of those starts, making up ground late and while up 2lb, he's still well treated on his form in Britain.

Spotlight: Major progress when winning on handicap debut at Kempton in August and followed up with a 1m success at Southwell; however, the form of those races could have worked out better and he was disappointing when prominent in the betting at Abu Dhabi (7f) in last month's hat-trick bid.

Spotlight: Finished 1l behind Road Bloc on dirt here in November but that form has been knocked since; only beaten roughly 1l over 6f on turf at Abu Dhabi but well held back on dirt at Jebel Ali since; while not obviously well treated on anything he's achieved in the last 12 months, he's the first-string.

Spotlight: Losing run goes back nearly four years; not beaten far in three runs at Abu Dhabi this season but this is tougher.

Spotlight: Hasn't matched the level of form he showed for Charlie Appleby in four dirt runs for new yard; however, step back in the right direction in a Jebel Ali dirt maiden last time and a return to this surface could help; may do better.

Spotlight: Reserve; soft ground winner at Windsor before narrow defeat at Yarmouth when last seen; may need this first run in four months and 7f here could be sharp.

Spotlight: Shown ability in three dirt starts; not sure to appreciate the switch of surface and tough mark for handicap debut.

Spotlight: 6f dirt winner in November but hasn't threatened in four runs since including back on turf here (5f) last week; return to further may help but others are more convincing.

Spotlight: Reserve; some respectable runs in defeat on dirt this term but hard to fancy here.

Spotlight: Well below the level of form he showed in Britain for Archie Watson since switching to the UAE last season; has folded tamely in his last three starts and others look more likely.

Spotlight: Promise without winning in five runs for Charlie Appleby in 2023; off the mark for this yard with wide margin 6f Abu Dhabi maiden success when returned to turf; low-key dirt return but return to this surface could suit and he has untapped potential at this trip.

Spotlight: 1m course winner; ran a few eyecatching races last term, including over C&D at the end of the campaign when doing well from a wide draw; shaped as if retaining ability at Abu Dhabi on return and nothing went right on dirt last time after a slow start; not ruled out with De Sousa taking over.

Spotlight: Won over this trip at Abu Dhabi last season and added a 1m success at this venue in February before a 3l defeat over C&D at the end of the campaign; tailed off on October return and not seen since; career best called for to defy this mark.

Spotlight: Still a maiden after 32 starts and his better form has come at 1m; doesn't look well treated at present.

Spotlight: Possibly not the easiest to train and didn't beat a rival on dirt here last month.

Spotlight: Reserve; 12-race maiden and his better form has come at 6f.
