Spotlight: Won over C&D last summer, solid runs over same trip latest two runs this summer in big handicaps at Ascot and Goodwood, despite racing keenly; contender if settling better.

Spotlight: Improving 3yo went close in 1m2f handicaps early in the season and off the mark in workmanlike fashion on latest in 1m4f Curragh maiden in July; blinkers replace cheekpieces here and could have more to offer at this trip; 1lb wrong but rider claims 5lb.

Spotlight: Three-time Listed winner including here over 1m6f and this time last year awarded 2m Newmarket contest (soft) after winner failed drug test; not discredited under hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June and following month tough enough task when fourth of 7 in Group 2 Curragh Cup; back in handicap company but remains vulnerable.

Spotlight: Improved form stepped up in trip and tongue-tie fitted to win over C&D in maiden and committed early in straight for decisive win over Floresta in rated event; outstayed by same rival over 1m6f in Listed contest here since; softer ground here an unknown.

Spotlight: Very smart hurdler although yet to reach similar heights over fences, mistakes at Galway on latest; had earlier got off the mark on the Flat with ordinary Ballinrobe maiden win over this trip; opening handicap mark high on that evidence but could have more to offer.

Spotlight: Sole win in Britain came over 1m2f early last season (Ascot, good) and standout run on the level for current yard when second of 25 to a stablemate over 2m at the Curragh in June on similar ground; never landed a blow when favourite in valuable Galway amateur handicap following month; unproven on soft.

Spotlight: No win since 2022 in his French days but some good runs in defeat in big handicaps, second in last year's Chester Cup and most recently came home strongly into fourth after not clear run over 1m4f at York last month; slightly longer trip to suit and handles soft so potentially a big player.

Spotlight: Five-time Flat winner (including Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup); career-best hurdles run on latest when first past the post in Galway Hurdle but demoted for interference; previously finished good third over 1m6f at the Curragh; acts on good but well suited by soft/heavy; definite contender.

Spotlight: Flat winner in France on heavy; returned from spell hurdling with respectable third in Galway conditions event over this trip (2.5l ahead of stablemate Bunting) before never landing a blow in Ebor when midfield; can't be ruled out probably needs to step up to play a major role.

Spotlight: Two wins include 1m4f York handicap last year; hasn't progressed at four, although close behind Harbour Wind in Group 2 Curragh Cup, most recently down the field in Ebor last month; opposable.

Spotlight: Smart juvenile in 2022; missed all of 2023 and never hit top form last season; highly tried of late and flattered by recent form-figures, in between beat two much inferior rivals at Gowran; remains uproven over this far.

Spotlight: Keen running sort a winner on the Flat in France on soft (1m3f) and returned from spell hurdling (useful form) with just okay fourth in Galway conditions event last month; opening mark appears on the high side.

Spotlight: Excellent last year for Michael Halford when winning three successive handicaps (7f-1m1f); tried over 1m4f latest two runs this term in premier handicaps, well-backed favourite but never landing a blow at Galway last time; cheekpieces now tried.

Spotlight: Won a Group 3 over 1m2f at Naas early last season; hasn't progressed this year however, bit better latest when fourth in 1m4f Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes here last month, barely getting home; not an obvious contender for this step up in trip.

Spotlight: Two Flat wins include Naas premier handicap over 2m (yielding) last October; just two Flat runs this year, fine third of 20 in Ascot Stakes and dropped out tamely in valuable Galway amateur handicap; acts on soft, one to consider.

Spotlight: Dual AW winner won at Limerick in June over 1m4f and was unlucky at Galway; no sort of run on AW last time; 1lb wrong.

Spotlight: Dual-purpose sort has won over 1m4f on AW but stamina concerns on this ground; new headgear combination tried and tough ask from 8lb out of handicap.
