Spotlight: Several decent efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level for Jane Chapple-Hyam in 2024; finished third to Galen in 1m2f Curragh Group 3 on seasonal and yard debut in April, then half a length in front of that reopposing stablemate when fourth in a Group 2 back there six weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and this 4yo won't need to advance his form much to play a part.

Spotlight: Enjoyed a good 2024, including a win in valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft); showed he can mix it outside handicaps when second in 1m2f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last autumn; went without regular hood (back on now) when behind a couple of today's rivals in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard on his reappearance at Sandown (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; likely to be sharper now and his yard has won this twice in recent years; a must for the shortlist from a handy draw.

Spotlight: Runner-up in Group 3 Hampton Court at last year's Royal meeting and improved again when second in York Group 2 on his next start (both 1m2f, good to firm); his progress has stalled since but the fitting of blinkers backfired (raced too freely) when sixth in a 1m4f Newbury Group 3 last month (first run since gelded) and he showed enough when fourth in Qatar prior to that to think he retains his ability; no headgear now.

Spotlight: Placed in the 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas (both 1m, good) last spring before winning the Group 3 Jersey at this meeting (7f, good to firm); missed the rest of 2024 and didn't recapture that level when fifth in the Group 2 Sandown Mile and fourth in a 1m Longchamp Listed event in recent months, although the ground may have been softer than ideal in France; his stamina for 1m2f also has to be taken on trust but he's a potential class act on peak form.

Spotlight: Went close to a second Goodwood Listed success when failing to peg back the reopposing Liberty Lane over 1m2f last month, an improved performance on his second outing since being gelded; 3lb better off with Karl Burke's charge now, so he's weighted to turn the tables; might prove the answer.

Spotlight: Placed at Group 3 and Listed level last year; recorded a really smart handicap performance when making his second start for Richard Fahey a winning one on reappearance at the recent Epsom Derby meeting (1m2f, good to soft), pulling 4l clear; a fairly quick turnaround is a slight worry after such a big effort but he's bang there on form; has raced only on going softer than good.

Spotlight: Finished fourth in the Group 3 Hampton Court and third (same owner's Haunted Dream second) in this race at the last two Royal Ascots, both on good to firm; absent since the latter but has gone well fresh before and is yet another who has to enter calculations; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Added to his very good AW record with a stylish win in a Listed race at Kempton (1m2f) in April but he wasn't in quite the same form when fourth (Phantom Flight third) in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown since and there are doubts as to whether he's still as effective on turf as AW; also has a 3lb penalty for the Kempton win.

Spotlight: Soft-ground Cambridgeshire winner (1m1f) who showed he's equally effective on good ground when edging out Meydaan in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race 25 days ago; meets that rival on 3lb worse terms here and has drawn the outside stall.

Spotlight: Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April; couldn't repeat the form in a Group 2 there six weeks ago and a 5lb penalty for the Group 3 success leaves him vulnerable here.

Spotlight: Edged out the same owner's Torito for second in this last year and recorded a career-best RPR when fourth in 1m2f Saudi Group 2 (good to firm) in February when last seen; another who has to enter the reckoning.

Spotlight: Placed in last year's Derby and Irish Derby for James Fanshawe; below that level in two Newmarket outings (1m1f/1m4f) since joining James Owen, pulling too hard; the refitting of a hood could help in that regard and his trainer's excellent overall record with recruits means it would be no big shock were he to bounce back.

Spotlight: Only seventh and sixth in the last two runnings of this but he arrives in good form this time, having followed his third to Sardinian Warrior in a 1m Listed event here with a fine fifth of eight to Lead Artist in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month; the way he kept on in the latter suggests this return to 1m2f is in his favour.

Spotlight: Won Kensington Palace handicap at last year's Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and added a Listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in the autumn; weakened into a well-held sixth in 1m2f York Group 2 on reappearance in May but she's entitled to strip fitter for the outing; shoulders a 3lb penalty for the French win.

Spotlight: Won a Listed race over this trip on good to firm at Newbury last July; also scored twice in Bahrain in January and back to somewhere near his best when third in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing pair Military Order and Enfjaar in fourth and fifth; carries a 3lb penalty and his draw could be tricky.

Spotlight: Won a 1m4f handicap here (good) last summer and showed he's still capable of smart form as a 9yo when reaching the frame in Group 2s over 1m4f and 2m at Meydan this spring; down the field in a Longchamp Group 1 over just short of 2m since; back down significantly in trip; others are more obvious.
