Spotlight :
Runner-up in Group 1 Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f, soft) in 2023; 0-4 last year; reappeared in C&D Listed race (good to firm) last month having been gelded and he returned to form to make all on that drop back in trip; tougher assignment today but he could have more to offer at this distance; contender.

Spotlight :
Inconsistent last year and below par in 6f Group 1s on latest two outings, most recently on last month's reappearance at Meydan; however, he's back up in trip and back down in grade today and is the one to beat if rediscovering last year's best form, when winning the Group 1 Lockinge (1m, good) and Group 2 Lennox (good); ran well on soft in 2023.

Spotlight :
Won Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) last September and runner-up in Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) next time; carries 5lb penalty and may improve for this reappearance outing but he's a class act who is entitled to respect; won this in 2021 and close third in 2022.

Spotlight :
Group 3 win at Deauville (6f, very soft) last August and reappeared with Listed win at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; tackles 7f for the first time since September 2023 and it remains to be seen if this trip still suits, but he's in with a shout if seeing it out.

Spotlight :
Fine second of 21 off big weight in York handicap (6f, soft) last October and went one better in Listed race at Doncaster (6f, soft); stamina to prove at 7f but he won a 6.5f sales race in his 2023 2yo campaign; excellent record on slow ground; worth a second look if such conditions prevail.

Spotlight :
Lightly raced half-brother to Frankel and went very close in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last June (7f, good to firm); could improve for this month's reappearance here (2l fourth of five in Listed race) but others have greater substance to their claims; peak efforts on fast ground.

Spotlight :
Not at the top of his game on final two runs last autumn; however, before those he was runner-up in the Group 3 Prix du Pin at Longchamp (7f, soft) and that form has been firmly boosted by the winner; gelded since last seen and considered each-way on this reappearance.

Spotlight :
Front-runner who was a good second of 16 in York handicap (1m, good to firm) last August then easily made all in the big-field Challenge Cup Handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) last October; has a much tougher assignment on this reappearance but he's unexposed over 7f and on slow ground; not discounted.

Spotlight :
Improved form last autumn, winning Ascot handicap (7f, soft) off a lofty mark and following up in Redcar Listed race (7f, soft); disappointing last October when last seen but, with the recent rain a positive, he's an each-way possible if back on song on this return to action.

Spotlight :
Landed a 6f Listed hat-trick on slow ground last August/September and faced tough task in Group 1 at Meydan last month; has won over 7f in the past but 6f seems to be his optimum trip; sixth in this last year.

Spotlight :
Listed winner at Deauville (7f, AW) last November and defied lofty mark in Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in March; also effective on turf and was second of six in a good conditions race at Thirsk last month; however, this 6yo needs to be better than ever if he's to take this.

Spotlight :
Improved form towards end of last season (including on soft ground) and took another step forward to win Listed race for fillies and mares at Newmarket (6f, good) four weeks ago, making significant late headway to overhaul one who landed a Listed race here next time; her trainer excels with late-maturing types and she could be even better now back up to 7f; interesting.
