Spotlight :
Boasts strong course form, including a win at the Ebor meeting last August (5.4f, good to firm); series of good efforts since, notably when chasing home American Affair over this trip at the Dante meeting 16 days ago; up 3lb but should go well again.

Spotlight :
Unexposed 3yo; confirmed the promise of his Newmarket seasonal/handicap debut (6f, good to soft) when running on well for second over C&D two weeks ago; 2lb higher today but unexposed at the trip and the best is still to come from him.

Spotlight :
Form has taken off since dropped to sprinting, winning twice last summer and getting off the mark for 2025 with a good win at Ripon five weeks ago, strong at the finish despite looking ill at ease on the track; up 5lb but doubt he's reached his ceiling and Ryan Moore is an eyecatching booking.

Spotlight :
Won twice here last season (5.4f and 5f) and he's improved with another winter behind him, second at Beverley and Ascot last month before a cosy success at Haydock nine days ago (5f, good to firm); has 4lb rise to overcome but he's on the way up.

Spotlight :
The conditions won't faze him and he ran a solid race in a deep 6f handicap at the Dante meeting here 17 days ago; returning to 5f is not an issue and he helps form a strong hand in the race for Kevin Ryan.

|
Spotlight :
Came up short in Group races after winning a Ripon maiden last August; notably strong in the betting on his seasonal/handicap debut at Sandown last month and ran creditably, albeit without looking ahead of his mark; could do with settling better if he's to come out on top here.

|
Spotlight :
Has a good record on AW and the form of her front-running Kempton win (6f) nine weeks ago is strong; still well treated up 3lb and she's quick enough to deal with the drop to 5f; hasn't had enough chances on turf to pigeonhole her as an AW specialist but this is a stronger race than she's used to.

Spotlight :
Didn't fulfil potential for Charles Hills but he has created a positive impression in two runs for his new connections this year, shaping as though the run was needed at Pontefract (6f, good) last month before an easy win at Thirsk two weeks ago (5f, good to firm); up 8lb against a much higher calibre of opposition but he's unexposed at 5f so not passed over lightly.

Spotlight :
Not the easiest to win with but she's run well off higher marks in the past and her return to turf at Epsom last time wasn't a bad run; might find a few better treated in this field.

Spotlight :
Returned from a 195-day absence to win a 5f AW handicap in March off 1lb lower; not seen to best effect on her last two runs but looks high in the weights for a race of this nature.

Spotlight :
Enjoyed a revival in the second half of 2024, winning three handicaps at around 7f; he has run to form on his last two starts (6f and 7f, both good to firm) but whether this drop to a sharp 5f is what he needs now is a moot point.

Spotlight :
Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case.

Good runs in defeat at Nottingham and Newmarket this month (both 5f on good to firm); likely to be vulnerable to classier rivals.
