Spotlight: Sired by Royal Ascot winner Starspangledbanner and is a half-brother to top-class 2yo sprinter Vandeek; cost 450,000gns as a foal; produced all his best work late on at Navan (6f, good) when flooring a once-raced odds-on stablemate who is bound for Wednesday's Queen Mary; this colt could have come on in leaps and bounds for that first run, in keeping with so many from this yard; there's been money for him in the last week and many a once-raced colt has won this; Ryan Moore rides.

Spotlight: An unbeaten son of Wootton Bassett with course experience, having given weight and a beating to subsequent winners over 5f here (good to firm) last time; his powerful yard's chosen one for this, but the nagging concern is that his final furlong of that last race wasn't his best and he's up to 6f this time.

Spotlight: Cost 270,000gns as a yearling; bred to go further but he didn't look short of speed when waving goodbye to the opposition at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and the runner-up, who cost some 500,000gns as a yearling, didn't appear to be unfancied; the time wasn't mind-blowing but he looks hugely exciting, especially as connections expected him to come on plenty for that initial experience; James Doyle prefers him to Underwriter who runs in the same colours.

Spotlight: Oisin Murphy is 4-13 when combining with the Coles and that includes this colt's impressive debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm), where he had the pace to be handy before skipping clear when it mattered; two weeks is a quick turnaround but he has lots of upside and is dangerous to dismiss; the stable knows what's required, having captured this race three times during the 1990s.

Spotlight: Has travelled strongly in both his races at the Curragh (6f, good), winning with a swagger on debut and then holding his own in the Marble Hill when hot on the heels of Power Blue as both conceded late on to the now sidelined Albert Einstein (who had been favourite for this); trainer has since reported that he endured a hold-up prior to that Group 3, so improvement seems likely; shortlisted without hesitation.

Spotlight: Wootton Bassett colt and the first foal of an unraced sister to Group 1 winners Forever Together (Oaks) and Together Forever (Fillies' Mile and dam of City Of Troy); bred to get further than 6f but it was over 5f that he powered clear for a successful debut at Navan (stiff track; good; 18-1) and that was all the more impressive given that he was a market drifter; one of two runners from a stable that's won this ten times; commands the utmost respect despite Ryan Moore's apparent preference for Gstaad.

Spotlight: 380,000gns yearling; one of the joint favourites (4-1) when ridden by Jim Crowley to win a 6f maiden on good ground at Leicester where he knew his job and won ridden out (third and fifth won last weekend); while there's no denying that others have achieved more, he's yet another runner open to significant improvement after one run; trainer is no stranger to success at this meeting with 2yos.

Spotlight: £200,000 breeze-up buy; went off 11-10 at Ayr (6f, good to firm) so did what was expected of him in making a successful debut and he didn't need much persuasion to come home 2l to the good; the opposition wasn't overly challenging but the stable won this with a once-raced colt three years ago and also saddled last year's runner-up in these colours, who had also made a winning debut at Ayr; has to be of interest.

Spotlight: All three runs at the Curragh, on soft and good; impressed on debut, then ran third in a 5f Listed race and latterly saw out the 6f well to finish within a length of Albert Einstein in the Marble Hill (Andab third); that Group 3 is traditionally a strong Irish pointer and the winner would probably have been favourite for this had he not been sidelined through injury; a case can be made for this colt being overpriced.

Spotlight: Zipping around the tight bends of Chester is a world away from the straight track at Ascot, but it's all been straightforward for him there on the Roodee and he had little difficulty in defying a penalty last time, despite a wide enough draw; he's not the biggest, but the booking of Colin Keane is a statement of intent; The Wow Signal won out of stall 1 in 2014.

Spotlight: 260,000euros yearling; debut winners from this yard usually turn out smart and he won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; those he beat might be destined for nurseries but he's a promising colt who should stay 6f and some more.

Spotlight: Looked raw when no match for Andab on Curragh debut (6f, good) and then overcame a wide draw over slightly further at Listowel (good to yielding), mowing down the favourite who had shaped well in a good race the time before; trainer is seeking a third Royal Ascot victory; each-way claims.

Spotlight: Beat two fellow outsiders when the 25-1 winner of a 5f AW maiden at Wolverhampton and the third was comfortably held last week at Lingfield; unlikely to be good enough, even if he does cope with the 6f and different surface.

Spotlight: The form of his narrow Leicester win (5f, good; 14-1) doesn't look anywhere near good enough, but he did defy market weakness and his trainer won this in 2020 with a 150-1 chance who was only fifth on his debut; the potential is there to raise his game.

Spotlight: Hamilton is no obvious starting point for a Coventry winner but he justified plenty of market confidence there (6f, good to firm; 13-8) with a striking 5l defeat of a subsequent Carlisle winner; there's no knocking a winning start with that level of authority and his trainer has had Royal Ascot winners in the past (including a Queen Mary); could outrun his odds.

Spotlight: Typical of a 2yo from this yard to leave its debut form behind when he streaked clear on good ground at Brighton (6f); his RPR wasn't too shoddy and his yard delivered a surprise winner of this 12 months ago with a twice-raced maiden; unwise to put a line through him.

Spotlight: Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

Spotlight: Winners have emerged from the Newbury maiden he contested on debut and he was sharper all round when pushing Tadej to a neck at York (6f, good; pair clear); he's not without hope of reversing places with the winner but there are many others to worry about.

Spotlight: Beat a subsequent selling-race winner on debut at Ripon (5f, good); improved form in defeat, rallying for third in valuable conditions races at Beverley (5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good to soft); he won't fail through a lack of effort but perhaps lacks the star potential of many in here.

Spotlight: All runs at 5f; won at Leicester, then second under a penalty here (again on good to firm) before another creditable show in a French Listed race (good to soft); doesn't have the profile of a typical Coventry winner and place money would be a result.

Spotlight: Likeable efforts here and at York before getting off the mark at the latter venue 17 days ago (6f, good) when pretty much all out to repel Do Or Do Not; coming along nicely but he's in a lot deeper here and may lack the required class, no matter what difference the new cheekpieces make.
