Spotlight: Won at Ayr (5f, good) on sole 2yo start and made it 2-2 at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; met with defeat for the first time but improved again when second on 6f Windsor handicap debut (good to firm) at the beginning of June; bit better than result (not clear run over 2f out) when midfield in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) since; his pedigree provides hope for this step up in trip; very interesting up against largely much more exposed opposition.

Spotlight: Former Thirsk Hunt Cup winner who has his lowest mark for over two years and has shown better signs in his recent starts, including fifth of 17 to Bullet Point in valuable 1m handicap at last week's York Ebor meeting; has to enter the reckoning.

Spotlight: Snapped a losing run over C&D (good to firm; Desert Falcon third) at the beginning of the month and creditable third (Sterling Knight fourth) off this mark at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 14 days ago; ought to be competitive again.

Spotlight: C&D novice winner on good to soft last summer and added a 7f Lingfield AW handicap in November; just as good in defeat when second of 11 at Haydock (7f, good) in July but faded into fifth when favourite at Chester since.

Spotlight: In good form in his three outings this year, placing over C&D on good to firm (third to Rhythm Master latterly) either side of a 7f win at Haydock in July; handily drawn for a prominent racer and likely to give another good account.

Spotlight: Triple 7f winner on slow turf, including here; creditable fourth of 13 at Chester (7.5f, good) in May but his two efforts since have been no more than respectable; probably best to look elsewhere unless the ground goes on the soft side.

Spotlight: Five-time winner at this trip, including at Musselburgh (good to soft) in April, but not at the same level in four outings since; only 1lb above mark he defied at Musselburgh but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Spotlight: Bombproof gelding who is rarely far away in his races and posted another solid effort off this mark when fourth (Rhythm Master third) of eight over 1m at Newmarket (good to firm) a fortnight ago; each-way claims under Billy Loughnane.

Spotlight: Looked a potential superstar early on for Sir Michael Stoute but struggled in two of three runs last year and he's yet to feature for new yard, including when switched to handicap company for the Great St Wilfrid over 6f at Ripon 13 days ago; a refitted hood and first-time tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.

Spotlight: Some useful placed efforts in Qatar in the spring but well held in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot on British return in June and last of seven in 1m Longchamp conditions event since; the cheekpieces he wore for one of those efforts in Qatar return; hard to be confident for yard which also runs Fine Interview.

Spotlight: Very well treated on best sprinting form but faded in the closing stages when tackling 7f for just a second time at Chester 26 days ago; has the outside stall so the negatives outweigh the positives.

Spotlight: C&D winner last autumn and landed a ninth career success when accounting for eight rivals at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April; bounced back from a couple of below-par efforts when chasing home Marhaba Ghaiyyath back at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in June but he was well behind Rhythm Master and Desert Falcon back here four weeks ago.
