Spotlight: Threatening to win a good prize; unlucky second in last year's Cambridgeshire and finished third, best of the far-side runners, in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; 1-1 at Sandown; big chance provided the cards drop right.

Spotlight: Low-mileage 4yo; showed useful form last month, winning well at Newbury and fifth (again from the front) dropped back to 7f in Royal Ascot handicap; remains of interest, with further progress still possible.

Spotlight: Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better.

Spotlight: Raced a tad awkwardly under pressure but prevailed by half a length in useful C&D event (good) last time, taking record since handicapping to 2-2 and overall strike-rate to 3-5; improving 4yo who commands respect.

Spotlight: Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here.

Spotlight: Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C&D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt.

Spotlight: Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same.

Spotlight: 3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.

Spotlight: Seemed disappointing last time but perhaps had an issue as a tongue-tie is now fitted; has plenty of respectable handicap form otherwise and was an unlucky third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup earlier in May; not written off.

Spotlight: Ex-French 5yo who did well to finish eighth in the Royal Hunt Cup (third British attempt) most recently, having been slowly away; may build on that effort, especially if breaking cleanly.

Spotlight: Has gained both handicap wins in tight finishes at Class 3 level, including at Redcar latest start; may well come up short in this better grade, for all that he receives weight all round.

Spotlight: 1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear.

Spotlight: Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat.

Spotlight: Landed the Thirsk Hunt Cup, albeit having enjoyed a smoother trip than unlucky Sea Force; not particularly solid on his form since; ended up two places behind River King at Royal Ascot most recently.

Spotlight: Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record.

Spotlight: Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field.
