Spotlight: Has shown useful and progressive form over 6f this term for new stable, winning twice on the other Newmarket track then strong-finishing second (nearly got up) in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; due to go up 3lb in future; looks ready for this step back up in distance and commands respect.

Spotlight: Record of 4-7 over 7f includes a success on the other course here in May and it's best to forgive his most recent effort at this trip (something looked amiss); good third in the Wokingham over 6f last time; due to go up 2lb in future; largely progressive and remains of strong interest.

Spotlight: Back in top form since stepped back up to 7f, readily winning from Billyjoh at Doncaster then second in Royal Ascot handicap; nicely ahead of the assessor (future mark is 4lb higher) and appears to have a big prize in him; booking of William Buick cements the strong case; huge player.

Spotlight: Scored four times in 2024 and has proved consistent this season, better than bare result from unfavourable draw at Royal Ascot most recently; record over C&D reads 2211, the wins last August; remains on career-high mark but holds solid claims.

Spotlight: Record of 6-9 over 7f includes wins at Haydock and Chester this season; respectable fourth in Royal Ascot handicap most recently but is held by Akkadian Thunder on that effort and remains on career-high mark.

Spotlight: Went close at Newcastle (6f) two weeks ago on debut for new yard, taking AW record to 11113; effective at 7f; only 1-10 on turf and doesn't look the percentage call in this major handicap.

Spotlight: Record of only 1-11 for current stable but gained the win in this race (off 4lb lower) last year, albeit having been in obviously better form at the time; chance of a repeat depends on whether he takes a big step forward from reappearance run (folded tamely and well held over 1m here).

Spotlight: Useful 1m handicapper who won the Spring Cup on reappearance and ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; something to prove off current mark back down in trip.

Spotlight: Ran well behind Akkadian Thunder at Doncaster, then hindered by poor draw at Royal Ascot; however, losing run is mounting up and he still has an inferior strike-rate on turf compared to AW.

Spotlight: Mostly in good form over 6f this term but is 2lb badly in under a penalty for recent Salisbury win and isn't crying out for the return to 7f, for all that he's a C&D scorer; down the field in this race last year.

Spotlight: Disappointing favourite at Haydock last Saturday, extending his long losing sequence; beaten twice in this contest (seventh in 2023, well held in 2024) and can be opposed.

Spotlight: Has developed into a useful 7f handicapper and remains attractively treated on turf, with AW mark 4lb higher; however, never figured last time and this is a step back up in class.
