Spotlight: Had 26 races but arrives here in career-best form after comfortable wins at Chelmsford (1m2f) and Wolverhampton (9.4f), latterly 3lb well under a penalty when much too good for Zryan; those were from off the pace but can be ridden handier; 6lb higher but Ryan Kavanagh claims 5lb.

Spotlight: Intriguing runner having won two of his four races and latest defeat was in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f), since when he's been gelded; the betting could be very informative.

Spotlight: Interesting that connections have been so patient as she was absent for 770 days after her first run; returned with an easy win at Chelmsford (1m2f) and ran well under a penalty when edged out by another improver at Wolverhampton (9.4f); highly likely that there's more to come and could be on a handy mark.

Spotlight: Thrived last autumn once sent beyond 1m and saw his consistency rewarded when coming from well off the pace to win the Cesarewitch at Newmarket in October (2m2f, good to firm; first-time hood); effective on the AW but he's up 8lb and 1m4f+ seemingly suits him well these days.

Spotlight: Enhanced his outstanding course record by fending off a small field over C&D two weeks ago, having raced prominently as usual; he's tough to knock and has only gone up 2lb, but it's fair to say others are more intriguing.

Spotlight: Won three in a row at about 1m4f during summer of 2024 and last year he claimed two races at Ascot; won the latest despite a wide trip and has only gone up 4lb; 0-6 on the AW but has placed form, including here.

Spotlight: Lightly raced novice winner who kept on for second over 8.6f at Wolverhampton on handicap debut and looks ready for this stiffer test; raised in class, mind.

Spotlight: Does well on the AW and was never ideally positioned in a steadily run race over C&D two months ago; slow breaks have become an unwelcome habit but capable of being in the shake-up granted a solid pace to chase; Alfie Redman takes off a useful 7lb.

Spotlight: Dual Chelmsford winner who carried a penalty when close third over C&D on final appearance in May; 3lb higher for this but has been gelded and there could be more to come as a 4yo.

Spotlight: Dual French winner and on the scoresheet for this yard over 9.4f at Wolverhampton in December; however, was put in his place by Parlando off this mark back there three weeks ago.

Spotlight: 1m4f Listed winner on the AW for the Gosdens and often highly tried by that yard; changed hands for 50,000gns and shouldn't be judged on his stable debut in a muddling Listed race at Lingfield (1m2f; first-time visor); too classy to put a line through.

Spotlight: Hit and miss these days but on a good day when emerging from the rear to nearly win a big-field handicap at York over an extended 1m2f (October); went up 5lb for that defeat which was annoying, but he can deal with this mark and has form here.

Spotlight: Signed off last year in cracking form and final run can be excused having yet to convince over 1m4f; might be a shade high in the weights now for a race this hotly contested.

Spotlight: Eight-time AW winner and first and second in two of his four races here; didn't run at all badly last time at Lingfield (1m2f) but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature.
