Spotlight: Eight-time winner who is versatile ground-wise; no impact in first two starts this season but he got back near best when runner-up behind a progressive 3yo at York (7f) last month; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can back that up.

Spotlight: Has some ups and down in his profile but he made it 3-9 when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month, on his second run after a lengthy absence; that was in a bunch finish but he's only 1lb higher here and won't mind what the weather does; shortlisted.

Spotlight: Ten-time winner who is versatile ground-wise; held his form well since his last win in December and he caught the eye with his late headway when fourth at Newmarket (7f) last time; should get a good tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks.

Spotlight: Acts on good to firm and heavy; dual course winner, who went close at Carlisle (1m, soft) two weeks ago and wasn't beaten far at Ayr 24 hours later; can miss the break but he has possibilities if things go to plan back at this trip.

Spotlight: Only 1lb higher than for his Ascot win (7f, soft) last September and he made good late headway when fifth of 14 over C&D (good; hood added) last month; looks interesting if he can build on that and it would be a positive if rain arrives.

Spotlight: Returned to form when runner-up at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Carlisle (1m, soft), when conditions shouldn't have been a problem; losing run is now up to 11 and he comes with risks attached.

Spotlight: His turf wins have come on good, good to soft and soft; left it late to get up at Chester (7f, good) in May but he's not threatened at Thirsk and Chelmsford since; should get a good tow into this race but he needs to rediscover his spark.

Spotlight: Two 6f novice wins last year before a near-miss in 7f Group 3 (good to soft) in France; looks interesting on that form but she's not matched it since including on handicap debut at Chester (7f, good) last month; still has low-mileage but others are more convincing.

Spotlight: Justified favouritism on 6f debut at Hamilton (good) last June; tough task in Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot later that month and returned to finish second in 7f Ayr novice in the autumn; subsequently gelded but he was always behind on his handicap/seasonal debut at Chester (7f, good) last month; still unexposed but he's hard to weigh up and others are more solid.

Spotlight: Lightly raced for Roger Varian, winning a Newbury novice as a 2yo; made a promising start for this yard when runner-up over C&D (good; tongue-tie added) in March but he's taken two backward steps since; bit to prove again and he needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Beat 15 rivals when scoring on handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, good) last autumn for Joseph O'Brien; some respectable efforts since but he's not kicked on from his win and this is a step back up in grade; has work to do.
