Spotlight :
Easy winner of Newmarket 1m handicap in May and added Newbury 7f conditions race after flying too high in Irish 2,000 Guineas in between; slightly ahead of handicapper under penalty and there may be more to come.

Just in front of handicapper under penalty for game front-running success over this trip at Newmarket and obvious contender carrying plenty of stable confidence and with form of that win franked here this week.

Withering run through field brought him Hunt Cup prize in first-time blinkers at Royal Ascot and can't rule him out off 6lb higher mark if headgear has the same beneficial effect.

Group 2 entry understable and prepared to overlook defeat off this mark over 1m2f at Newmarket; had Sea Lord back in eighth when winning Britannia at Royal Ascot and wouldn't leave him out back at this trip.

Best yet from him when only just failing to land a good pot at Sandown early this month (weighted to the ounce with third-placed Dunn'o) but 4lb higher mark to deal with and another personal best required to go one better.

Not won since 2007 but many a good effort in defeat, including in this race last year; just behind Charlie Cool on these terms when fourth over this trip at York this month but always possible he could improve for cheekpieces.

Left himself with too much to do when tenth of 19 in hot York 1m2f handicap this month (form franked here this week) and well in on last year's win over that C&D; ran well here last year but slight concern whether he still the speed for this trip, though did win twice at 1m last term.

Spotlight :
Three rock-solid runs this season, twice shaping as though return to 1m would be just the ticket when in frame in big 7f handicaps at Ascot and Newmarket; no chance up middle when back at that trip in Hunt Cup and looks set for a big run, with the fact he won over this C&D at the fixture last year the icing on the cake.

Spotlight :
Another sound effort when sixth in good 7f handicap at Newmarket this month and always runs well here (course record reads 1322) but hold-up tactics always leave him hostage to fortune and does most of racing at 7f, although wasn't far off best at 1m last year.

In and out since popping up at 40-1 for Clive Brittain in competitive 7f Ascot handicap a year ago; 1lb lower here and wasn't disgraced in that same race last week; shaped as though worth another crack at this trip, so not impossible.

Stable won two of last three runnings and this one was right back to best when fifth to Invisible Man in last month's Hunt Cup; 6lb pull gives him prospects of reversing that form, though it's fair to say his conqueror showed much livelier turn of speed.

Lazy at home and needs to be kept busy; confirmed he's holding his form when third off this mark to an unexposed 3yo over this trip at York but nothing up his sleeve from handicapping perspective and passed over.

Weighted with prospects of reversing C&D May Listed event form with Beauchamp Xerxes but couldn't defy today's mark at Epsom last time and passed over from low draw despite stable form and his liking for the place (sixth in this two years ago but lost action when beating one home 12 months ago).

Well regarded but drop to sprinting at Hamilton last time didn't work out; not hard to overlook that or Newbury Spring Cup failure where nothing went right and he looked a horse with plenty more to offer when winning over this trip on soft at Doncaster on reappearance; fast ground a question mark.

Got going too late over 7f last time but feasibly weighted 2lb lower than when second in this last year and has beating of fourth-placed Webbow and sixth-placed Acrostic on that form; may not be quite the same force this time unless the cheekpieces have a positive effect.

C&D Listed winner in May and winning course form always welcome; acquitted himself with credit in Group 3 at Newmarket last time but perhaps a fraction too high in the handicap and draw looks a barrier.
