Spotlight :
Chased home Barq Al Emarat two runs ago (when getting 2lb) before gaining a first win of his career upped to 7f with a visor fitted; clearly in good form and should be a player in this.

Spotlight :
Was below his best for a while but has rediscovered his form and comes into this off a C&D success a month and a half ago under this rider Sandro Paiva, beating Smart System, who has won since; not had much racing for his age and makes obvious appeal.

Spotlight :
Put together some nice performances this time last year, including one over C&D, and one of the more likely types for this presuming he progresses from his return effort at Jebel Ali 20 days ago over 5f and stall 12 doesn't majorly compromise his chances.

Spotlight :
Showed some fair promise for John & Thady Gosden and not totally disgraced on Meydan debut three weeks ago over 7f behind Smart System considering how slowly he started; this will be only his sixth start and a first at 6f; has the scope for better and headgear gets tried for the first time.

Won on the AW in Britain as a 2yo and added a dirt success at Sharjah (6f) in December, beating a couple who reoppose today; not so good this year here since and stall 14 may make things difficult.

Spotlight :
Only won once but has been running okay in defeat for a while, including last week when tried over 7f (on turf) and cheekpieces were introduced; can be involved if building on that down to a trip he usually races over.

Spotlight :
Plenty of good form in 2024 over 7f and a mile but hasn't been anywhere near as good yet following a 245-day absence, his most recent run the most disappointing; drop to 6f and fitting of blinkers will need to rekindle that old ability.

Spotlight :
Finished second in a trial at the end of last year but well beaten in first two starts before a better effort at Jebel Ali six days ago; quick turnaround for his handicap debut on his first visit to Meydan but should at least be capable of better; watch for market clues and he's potentially interesting.

Not yet reached the form level he held prior to a 414-day absence and joining this stable, but does go back to dirt here, which seems his favoured surface.

Spotlight :
Nicely bred sort who ran with credit in Spain, winning a 6f dirt race in July 2024, but was always behind on his Meydan debut 42 days ago over 5f; need to step forward from that to be involved today and cheekpieces go on.

Mostly a very useful sort for Harry & Roger Charlton prior to moving out of that stable, but wasn't then seen for 821 days; no promise so far since his return makes him easy enough to take on here.

Yet to win and wasn't at his best in the latter stages of his time with his previous stable but did do better at Sharjah when last seen, albeit that was 117 days ago; more needed here.

Long-time maiden who was 26l behind Smart System three weeks ago; hard to make a case for unless he gets back close to his run at Sharjah in December, a race that Pen Portrait won.

Hasn't won since his 2yo campaign and no great promise on anything he has done in UAE to this point, including in one go on dirt; wears new headgear combination.
