Spotlight :
Strong traveller who often leads; acts well on the Rowley course and was seen to best advantage when winning a 6f Group 3 here (good) last April; that was as good as it got as the return to 5f, albeit in Group 1s, didn't work out as well as seemed possible towards the end of 2024; however, conditions suit and this is likely to be a main target.

Spotlight :
Unraced as 2yo but highly progressive in 2024, winning six of 11 starts and ending the year with a Group 3 win at Newbury (5f, heavy) then first home from the double-figure draws in the Group 1 Abbaye at Longchamp (very soft); has acted well on good and good to firm ground at a lesser level; likely to be sharp for reappearance with Ryan Moore booked (2-2 on her).

Spotlight :
Runner-up in the Group 2 Norfolk at Ascot and later had a Listed race at York (also 5f, good to firm) in the bag from some way out, albeit the second, who went on to better things, had little go right; off since September but of interest with the 3yo allowance.

Beaten favourite in this (good) last year but she was still a cracking third against more seasoned rivals; had a satisfactory season overall, having dead-heated for a Listed race at Ayr and doing well in defeat against a smart one in a Group 2 at the Curragh, given the interference she suffered at the start; looks good for a big run.

Spotlight :
Won a Group 3 over C&D (good) as a 2yo; inevitably had a harder time of it in 2023 but his best form last year, a fluent win from Beautiful Diamond in an Ascot Listed race (5f, soft) in October, suggests he could hit a new peak this year; his reappearance record suggests this might be needed, though.

Spotlight :
Impressive winner of 5f Listed race at Cork (good to yielding) last June but he took to lingering at the start on his final three runs of 2024; was fast away on AW comeback at Southwell, when holding a good rival (who conceded 3lb) at bay, and he's certainly capable of going well if getting away on terms.

Spotlight :
Losing run goes back to C&D handicap win in 2022 but that does no justice to a fine record in Group races for Henry Candy, including a second and a fourth in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot in 2022 and 2023; soft ground was against him in this race in 2023 but he was beaten only about a length in the runnings either side and the likely strong pace will suit; sold 80,000gns in October; good chance he'll go well again for new trainer.

Spotlight :
Front-runner who raised his game when winning a Listed race at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in August; found No Half Measures too strong at Newbury (5f, heavy) next time and he was in the ruck behind Rumstar at Ascot (5f, soft) when last seen in October but the switch in surface can help balance the books; one of three runners for the yard.

She came into her own from last summer onwards but although gaining a spreadeagling win in a 5f Listed race at Tipperary (good; first-time blinkers) in September she has work to do on Group form with others in this field.

Spotlight :
Some smart form for George Scott included a narrow win in this race 12 months ago (good; first-time cheekpieces, later tried in blinkers) and he had some class and going excuses later; sold 50,000gns in October; has possibilities but needs to show he isn't dependent on headgear on yard debut.
