Spotlight: 3yo who has been running well in defeat this season, most recently third in 7f fillies' handicap at Newmarket; she's in the right hands to progress and could take a step forward at some point; possible player.

Spotlight: 1m2f course winner who scored at Leicester (7f) in June on his second stable start and ran a big race when third of 21 in the International at Ascot (7f) last month; disappointing favourite in Racing League at Chepstow (1m) a fortnight ago but entitled to respect in view of previous form.

Spotlight: Course win number four when scoring over C&D in May and, bar a blip here in June, he's been running really well in defeat since; beaten just a neck at Thirsk last time; could play another leading role now back here.

Spotlight: Always behind after a slow start in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot, following wind surgery; however, before that he went very close in the Lincoln in March and he's won over C&D in the past; could bounce back with a big run in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).

Spotlight: Having been denied a clear run this 3yo stayed on for an eyecatching sixth on his seasonal/AW debut here (6f) in June; merely fifth in 7f handicap next time and well beaten in Goodwood Group 2 most recently, but he's an interesting contender now back here given the reappearance promise.

Spotlight: Has a very lofty mark but he won German Group 3 last August and close third of 12 under Jack Nicholls when back in a handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; he's just 1lb higher today and should be fine back up to 7f; could be involved once more.

Spotlight: Close fourth of 13 at 40-1 on stable debut over C&D in June; failed to build on that at York next time but he continues to edge down the weights and is not discounted on just his second AW start.

Spotlight: In top form in 7f Racing League events the last twice, winning at Yarmouth then beaten just a neck at Chepstow; 0-10 on AW but he was second here earlier in his career and he's on the shortlist.

Spotlight: Lightly raced 4yo who went close over C&D in June on final run for Roger Varian; well beaten on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, soft) four weeks ago but not written off now back here.

Spotlight: 8yo who snapped lengthy losing sequence at Haydock (7f) in July and close third in Racing League at Chepstow a fortnight ago; runner-up over C&D last June and he could be in the mix.

Spotlight: Listed runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March; well treated on that form and he's back on AW for the first time since; however, his subsequent turf form has been patchy and he needs to get back on track.

Spotlight: Ran really well under Warren Fentiman when fourth of 21 in the International Handicap at Ascot (7f, good) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him there next time; hasn't shone on last few encounters with Tapeta but could be in the shake-up now back down in trip if the surface isn't an issue.

Spotlight: Four wins last summer (including here) and he returned to form when going close at York this June; on a handy mark but he's failed to threaten on his last three outings and needs to turn things around.

Spotlight: Ex-French 5yo who was better than ever in May last time when winning a 1m Group 3 in Germany; changed hands for 135,000euros last month; the in-form Tommie Jakes removes 5lb and he's not ruled out on stable debut.
