Spotlight :
Versatile as regards ground; particularly well suited by Ascot where his form includes second-place finishes in the 2024 Queen Anne and Listed contest (clear of remainder; ran up to best) on reappearance; has the best chance at the weights in this first Epsom attempt.

Spotlight :
Came up well short in the Group 1 Lockinge last time; generally progressive otherwise and recorded a comfortable success in the 1m2f handicap on this card 12 months ago; bagged Group 3 honours at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April and warrants respect back at this level.

Spotlight :
Campaigned mostly on ground softer than good; sometimes races too freely but he's very useful on his day and avoids a penalty for Group 2 win at Goodwood (1m) last August; possibilities dropped back in grade.

Spotlight :
Sole 3yo in this field; ran well in last year's Solario and Royal Lodge; unable to sustain that progress since but took in a Derby trial most recently and this may prove an easier assignment, especially in receipt of the hefty age allowance; not dismissed.

Spotlight :
German gelding who is a triple Group 3 winner on home soil, including a career-best performance at Dusseldorf (1m, good to soft) in sole run this year; interesting contender in this first British assignment.

Spotlight :
Finished behind Docklands at Ascot last time but, unlike that rival, already has Epsom form having finished second in this race 12 months ago (good to soft; one of his best efforts); still seeking first Group win but has each-way claims back in the Diomed.

Spotlight :
Belied his 40-1 odds with second-place finish in Group 2 at Chester (1m2f) most recently; no certainty to go one better, being 0-9 for current yard and without a win for over two years; wears new headgear.

Campaigned mainly abroad and has inferior form in Britain; gained most recent success in Italian Group 3 last October; below par behind Geography in German contest last time and can be opposed.

Better than ever in most recent AW attempt, winning 1m Listed event at Lingfield; finished behind two of today's opponents at Ascot since, taking turf record to 0-6; not the percentage call.
