Spotlight: Highly progressive in handicaps and 2-2 in such races this season (7f, good to soft), doing it readily each time; this lightly raced 4yo has won five of her seven starts and could take this rise in grade in her stride.

Spotlight: All seven starts on good/good to firm; built upon previous promise when 12-1 runner-up in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; only fourth when 5-6 in the Group 3 Valiant at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, when hanging, but the first-time cheekpieces could help today and she's a leading player on the Royal Ascot form.

Spotlight: All five starts on good/good to firm; fourth in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m) in May and bounced back from a disappointing run in the Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f) with an encouraging fifth in Group 3 at Deauville (1m) where she made promising headway adjacent to the possibly unfavoured far-side rail before fading; the drop back to 7f could be a good move; chance.

Spotlight: Impressive on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July and that form has worked out well; ran well when fourth in Group 3 Oak Tree at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 18 days later and this unexposed 3yo could still be capable of better; has shown promise on soft; could be a contender.

Spotlight: Unable to kick on since near-miss in the Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f) last May; soundly beaten Listed third at Pontefract (6f) last month on sole outing this year but she may have needed the run; fine over 7f when sixth in the Group 3 Oak Tree at Goodwood last July when coming from further back than the principals; versatile ground-wise; not ruled out each-way.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who reappeared with a Listed win at Kempton (1m, AW) in March; flopped at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) next time and faded into fifth in Group 3 Valiant at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July last time; the drop back to 7f could help this headstrong filly; not ruled out each-way.

Spotlight: 0-13 since winning on her debut in August 2024 and she hasn't been at her very best on her last two starts; however, she's back from a break and has an each-way shout on form such as her 1l second of 15 in a Listed race at Haydock (6f, good to soft) in May; stays 7f.

Spotlight: Struggled in Australia late last year, following an absence, and she's back from some more time off today; needs to prove how much ability she retains but she was a class act earlier in her career for Karl Burke (C&D Group 2 winner), to whom she has returned, and she's not written off.

Spotlight: Belied her outsider status for narrow Listed win at Deauville (7.5f, good) last month; it will be interesting to see if this French raider can build on that win but today's assignment is certainly tougher.

Spotlight: Won the Group 3 Chartwell at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; not at the same level since and, while her fifth in the Group 3 Oak Tree at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in July was a step back in the right direction, she may again be vulnerable under a 3lb penalty; unproven on slow ground.

Spotlight: Made it four wins for the year (good to soft/good) with 7f Listed success at Chester in June; however, a career best is needed this afternoon and she may have gone off the boil judged on her last two starts.

Spotlight: Trainer has won three of the last eight runnings and this 4yo was a 7f Group 3 winner for Michael O'Callaghan last June; however, she was well beaten last October on her final run for that yard and hasn't been at the top of her game this season on her first two starts for new yard.

Spotlight: Given a fine ride in front when a 33-1 Listed winner at Naas (7f, good) in May; ran pretty well when fourth in Group 3 at Cork (7f, yielding) a fortnight ago but others have more compelling credentials.

Spotlight: Won the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) on her reappearance; creditable sixth at 50-1 in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot but other than that she's been underwhelming since her Newbury win.

Spotlight: 3yo who has raced 13 times and was better than ever when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, she was no match for the winner and is probably up against it today.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 3yo who was a Listed runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July but she has something to find judged on even that peak effort and she's since finished down the field at Haydock (1m, good; Listed).

Spotlight: Listed winner at Chantilly (1m, good to soft) last May for Ed Walker; however, she's struggled to get competitive on her four starts this season and has something to prove on stable debut; remains in same ownership.

Spotlight: Finished last in the Group 3 Oak Tree at Glorious Goodwood (7f) but the fast ground may not have suited; prior to that she was prominent for a long way before fading into mid-division in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Pouliches at Longchamp (1m, heavy) and she remains of interest at 7f now back on a slower surface; no surprise if she runs well at big odds.

Spotlight: Listed third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in June but today's assignment demands considerably more and she's been soundly beaten in Listed/Group 3 races on her last two starts.

Spotlight: Won at Southwell (6f, AW) on sole 2yo start and reappeared with good third in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good); it's still very early days but she finished down the field in the 1,000 Guineas and at Royal Ascot (Group 3 Jersey) and has to leave those performances well behind.
