Spotlight: Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and ran creditably in big field at Newmarket in the first of his two starts this term; chance may depend on the actions of the weather, however.

Spotlight: Unraced on soft/heavy; scored four times on turf last term and may resume his progress with creditable AW reappearance under his belt; combined record of 3-4 at Epsom and Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite similar to those tracks; highly respected.

Spotlight: Useful on his day but losing run is mounting up and two duck eggs this year leave a question mark over his current form; chance partly depends on how well he responds to the removal of usual cheekpieces.

Spotlight: Went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time, showing he retains full ability aged eight; dual winner at Goodwood and may remain competitive; gained last three wins on soft ground.

Spotlight: Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Spotlight: Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) returned to turf with AW reappearance under his belt, taking overall record to 3-13; upped in grade but may have more to offer in the retained headgear; shortlisted.

Spotlight: Didn't seem beaten entirely by the 7.5f trip at Chester on seasonal debut but is still seeking a first success beyond sprint distances; not exactly guaranteed to take advantage of being 1lb below last winning mark.

Spotlight: Record of 3-5 on AW includes two stylish wins over 7f at Southwell for new yard; unfavourable draw played a part in him failing to transfer the form back to turf in the Victoria Cup when admittedly taking record in this sphere to 0-6.

Spotlight: Low-mileage 5yo who has gained both wins (7f/1m) on good to firm; grabbed third place on line over 6f for an encouraging reappearance effort and looks interesting back up in distance, with further improvement still a possibility.

Spotlight: Produced form figures of 1211 once upped to 7f last term; has posted two duck eggs this season but raced further back than usual on reappearance and was unfavourably drawn in the Victoria Cup latest; may prove resurgent.

Spotlight: Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds.

Spotlight: Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise.

Spotlight: Similar type to Shiplake, with still having to prove that best AW form can be transferred back to turf; not exactly solid on 2026 efforts anyway and doesn't look the percentage call in this competitive field.

Spotlight: Returns to his ideal sphere (turf) but brings a question mark over his current form, having trailed home last in both AW outings this year; possibly out of his depth to boot, having never won above Class 4.
