Spotlight: Won this race in 2023 off a 3lb lower mark; yet to strike in 2025 but he's looked as good as ever, catching the eye in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting and running well when fifth in the Dash at Epsom three weeks ago; dropped 2lb since the last run and he's a major player.

Spotlight: Recorded a comfortable success in this race 12 months ago when 3lb lower; first win since when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Hamilton 12 days ago (5f, good to soft); big run on the cards under a penalty.

Spotlight: Unplaced in two Group races in Dubai early in the year; only eighth of ten at Windsor on his return to Britain 18 days ago; dropped 3lb and may come on for that latest start but enough to prove for now.

Spotlight: Began 2025 by reeling off a C&D four-timer, the latest success coming off 2lb lower; only midfield at Windsor last time and perhaps too high in the weights for a race such as this.

Spotlight: All three wins have come here, the latest over C&D in March off 5lb lower; not at best on his last two AW runs, though, and looks too high in the weights for a race of this depth; declared 7.15 Hamilton Thursday.

Spotlight: Better than ever when dominating a 6f handicap at Redcar last month; no obvious excuses at Chester 13 days ago (6f, soft) and wouldn't look to have much in hand of his mark.

Spotlight: The handicapper has been in command so far this year but he's slowly releasing his grip and a well-run race should suit this mare; effective on Tapeta and holds each-way claims, for all she'll need luck in running.

Spotlight: Two 6f AW wins this year and just 1lb higher than for the second of them; beaten on turf twice since and the stable may have stronger claims with Vintage Clarets.

Spotlight: Had turned in a string of good runs for his new stable until an underwhelming effort in the Dash at Epsom three weeks ago; type to bounce back quickly but this company might prove beyond him; stable also run Jakajaro.

Spotlight: Three course wins; ran a solid race when third at Epsom three weeks ago (6f, soft; a race he had won in 2023); 2lb rise shouldn't be beyond him but stall 1 perhaps not optimal.

Spotlight: Unlikely his current mark is beyond him and his latest Doncaster run probably isn't the one to judge him on; cheekpieces left off today; effective on Tapeta; quirky and it's a plus that Silvestre De Sousa has won on him in the past.

Spotlight: Ran well at Musselburgh on his reappearance in April and duly went one better in a Carlisle Class 4 in May (5f, good to soft); missed a beat at the start at Chester last time and never really looked happy thereafter; perhaps too high in the weights for this, 6lb higher than when down the field behind Bergerac 12 months ago.

Spotlight: Got the better of Paddy's Day in the Class 5 handicap on this card 12 months ago (her first run after wind surgery); also won a C&D Class 3 in November and she has been threatening on turf this year, runner-up on her last three starts; stall 2 perhaps not ideal but she's likely to be dropped in and could be arriving on the scene late.

Spotlight: He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated.
