Spotlight: Hold-up performer reappeared with last-gasp win in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and landed handicap at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; didn't land a blow but took another step forward in well-contested Goodwood conditions event early this month; shortlisted.

Spotlight: Two C&D wins include premier handicap last year, later beaten a head in this race off 91; quieter campaign in 2025, pick of three runs when strong-finishing third (after not clear run) over C&D on Derby weekend; quick ground may not have suited last time (stayed on under considerate handling) but big player back on easier ground.

Spotlight: Progressive 6yo won at Leopardstown in June and has stepped forward again in thee runs in defeat since, latest when beaten a head in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway; 5lb higher but remains very much one to keep on side.

Spotlight: Was gaining only a second career win when scoring at Galway last month under a well-judged front-running ride from a low draw in first-time cheekpieces, having shaped well eight days earlier at Naas; hit with 10lb rise so back up to career-high mark here and not sure low draw is ideal this time.

Spotlight: Thriving for current yard, winning at Gowran and over C&D last month (second won recently); staying on fourth behind front-running Genuine Article at Galway was a decent effort from a wide draw; better draw here and not one to rule out.

Spotlight: Second to Coeur d'Or in this race in 2023, down the field last year; back to form when scoring off reduced mark at Fairyhouse last month but well held off 7lb higher at Galway; bit to find off this mark.

Spotlight: Last win came in a valuable C&D handicap last summer off 88 but back to form off reduced mark at Leopardstown last month in first-time cheekpieces, staying on well to deprive Bear Profit of second (1m1f); has to be considered.

Spotlight: Four wins include here over 7f last September and when overcoming trouble in running over 7f at Cork on seasonal debut in May; following month fast ground may not have been ideal when well down the field in Royal Hunt Cup; remains of interest off this mark.

Spotlight: All eight turf wins at this venue (also placed here on ten occasions); as good as ever when landing the 7f Gladness Stakes over C&D in March; form since largely respectable but hard to see him improving on last year's fifth in this race (off 2lb higher).

Spotlight: Won this race in 2023 off today's mark; hasn't won since but good fourth in the race last year off 100 and solid runs on opening two runs this campaign before Galway disappointment last month when too keen; visor added to usual tongue-tie here.

Spotlight: Last year's third won over this trip at Naas in May on third start for current yard; never landed a blow on unfavourable far side in Kensington Palace Handicap and again in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway; cheekpieces now tried.

Spotlight: Age likely catching up with the dual Group 2 winner but seasonal-best over C&D on Derby weekend when only conceding third close home to State Actor; claims on that run but low draw may not be ideal.

Spotlight: Won here last autumn for previous yard and added Naas win on yard debut last month; didn't land a blow at Roscommon after a tardy start latest; 6lb wrong here and remains uproven at 1m; cheekpieces added.

Spotlight: Five-time winner at 1m, most recently Killarney handicap over two years ago; only seen once last year and yet to really hit form in three runs this year albeit not disgraced; good bit more needed.

Spotlight: Unexposed 3yo won Cork maiden in April but last of 11 in handicap here following month (7f) after slow start; had time off since so remains open to improvement but against some seasoned handicappers here and 2lb wrong.
