Spotlight: Solid efforts since gelded and switched to handicaps, winning at Windsor (good to firm) in May and placed all three starts since, latterly at Sandown (also 1m, good) 12 days ago; big player.

Spotlight: Won over C&D on final two runs last season (good to firm) and back on song with near-miss at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month; quick return and step up to 1m2f look excuses for defeat one week later; plenty to like.

Spotlight: Took a few runs to find his feet for this yard but it was a convincing display when scoring at Goodwood (1m, good to soft; has run well on good), when that surface was said to suit; up 5lb on quicker ground but still respected.

Spotlight: Had gone close a couple of times before making his breakthrough at the ninth attempt when scoring at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) 42 days ago; first-time visor likely helped that day and he needs a bit more back up 3lb.

Spotlight: Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair.

Spotlight: Yet to run here but good efforts at similar tracks such as Goodwood and Epsom bode well; placed at the latter track (7f; good and good to firm) the last twice and comfortably stays this trip; contender.

Spotlight: Running well since moved to this yard and gelded, following up Bath win (1m2f, good to firm) in April with three solid efforts before narrowly winning at Epsom (8.5f, good; first-time visor) one month ago; up 2lb; sometimes leads.

Spotlight: Often leads; won his only start here (C&D, good to firm; made virtually all) in May 2023; went fairly close at Carlisle in June but beat one home at Yarmouth (also 1m, soft) a fortnight ago; that was a warm race for the grade, however, and he won at Epsom (8.5f, soft) from just 2lb higher in September.

Spotlight: Usually held up; all seven turf wins over C&D, including when springing a surprise in this race last year; eight subsequent runs have seen him slip down the weights but it wasn't a bad effort over 7f here in May and he had an excuse (lost a shoe) over C&D last time; visor replaces other headgear and this might set up nicely.

Spotlight: Races prominently; won two Class 6 events over 1m and 7f here (good to firm/good) in the spring and back to form when second at Epsom (7f, good) four weeks ago; more to do in this company but another bold show would in no way surprise.

Spotlight: Front-runs; has run well all three starts here, including when making all over C&D in April; third here (7f, also good to firm) in June off 4lb higher than today and couldn't lead at Beverley last time; needs a second look.

Spotlight: One win (AW) in last five years and rocky form in three starts this year, respectable third at Southwell (AW) in May sandwiched by two heavy defeats on turf (also 1m, good and soft); others more likely.
