Spotlight: Just got the better of Sean in a 1m1f handicap here last season and even better form in defeat in Britain in the summer including a third to Fox Legacy at Newmarket; workable mark, potentially more to come and he's the first-string for a yard in-form.

Spotlight: Maiden win at Doncaster came over this trip before an impressive novice success on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket (1m, good) and was only narrowly touched off in his hat-trick bid on the July course when last seen; that form has worked out nicely and he's a fascinating runner stepping back up in trip on return; gelded since last seen 174 days ago.

Spotlight: Promise as a juvenile and won both starts as a three-year-old, following up a novice success at Doncaster to win a valuable handicap at Newmarket over this trip; 13lb higher now but that's an effort worth marking up having raced away from the favoured rail and one for the shortlist.

Spotlight: Won each of his first three starts including a Listed success over this trip at Newmarket before losing his unbeaten record when too bad to be true in the Dante; not seen since and has been gelded; probably has a stiff enough mark on the back of a 232-day absence.

Spotlight: Signed off last season's campaign with a Listed success at Abu Dhabi; struggled both outings this term and while a Group 2 here a fortnight ago was too warm for him, he seems on a stiff-enough mark.

Spotlight: Career best came in four-runner contest over this trip at Navan but lost his way a little in three subsequent runs; left Aidan O'Brien for 40,000gns and others are probably on better marks.

Spotlight: Improved for William Haggas last season, following up a Leicester maiden win to land a 12-runner handicap at York and ran a cracker in his hat-trick bid in the John Smith's Cup when beaten roughly 2l by Fox Legacy; 2lb rise is justified and he should be thereabouts if fit after 174 days off.

Spotlight: Took a big step forward to win on dirt return here and possibly still feeling the effects of that run when a 10l fourth (sent off 13-8 favourite); this demands a career best back on turf and stall 14 isn't any help.

Spotlight: Smart form in France and won four of his nine starts for Andre Fabre; gelded ahead of yard debut and would need to take a step forward to defy this mark.

Spotlight: Went back-to-back in handicaps in Britain in the summer but signs the handicapper had caught up towards the end of the campaign; new yard having been purchased for 75,000gns and career best called for.

Spotlight: Best form in France came on heavy and possibly didn't handle dirt when tailed off on UAE debut three weeks ago; return to this surface will help but seems on a stiff mark for what he's achieved.

Spotlight: Won twice for Joseph O'Brien including the valuable Gowran Classic; hasn't matched that form in three runs for these connections but step back in the right direction when beaten 3l here three weeks ago, despite a poor trip; at his best with a strong gallop to aim at.

Spotlight: Went close here last season behind Arabian Light; poor campaign in Britain and was beaten roughly 8l on his return here (1m1f) here three weeks ago; no wins since 2023 and he's opposable, despite his sliding mark.

Spotlight: Won a Jebel Ali Group 3 last term and his best turf effort came in a C&D success two seasons ago; hasn't been at his best in two dirt starts this year and while he has a lower turf mark to work with, others look more likely.
