Spotlight :
No match for a wide margin winner on his return over slightly shorter but he pulled clear of the rest with the re-opposing third (Al Mukhtar); prominent racer who is drawn wider than ideal but he should come on for his return and he has O'Shea back in the saddle.

Spotlight :
Chased home Heart Of Honor last December; off the mark with a Chelmsford maiden success in August but worrying effort when tailed off at Kempton in October; wide draw won't help on return to dirt.

Spotlight :
Still a maiden but has run some good races in defeat, most notably a narrow defeat over C&D last season (form worked out); no match for the winner when third on return but pulled clear of the rest with Arabian Tale; could be involved if he comes on for that but Beasley prefers Ezaj.

Spotlight :
Fairly prolific for this sort of grade in Britain; was too keen on yard/UAE debut a fortnight ago; can race forward so stall one may be no bad thing and he's the yard's first-string but needs to prove he's as effective on this surface.

Won twice last term including a 1m3f success here; sent off joint-favourite on his return but finished tailed off; chance he can get to the lead in this field and edging back towards a good mark.

1m winner here last season and signed off the campaign with a third of 11 in a conditions event; likely more to come this term but his opening mark looks stiff and he's been off 273 days.

Spotlight :
Closely related to Desert Flower; Group 3 winner for Charlie Appleby in 2023 but missed 2024 and was well held at Goodwood on his belated return in September; reasonable chance of handling this surface but hard to gauge where's he at now.

Spotlight :
Sole win came over 7f at Jebel Ali; runner-up over C&D in March and his return wasn't devoid of promise; down to a fair mark but this trip probably stretches him.

Dual course winner over slightly shorter; never involved after a typical slow start on return a fortnight ago; could come into the picture if they go hard but others are more convincing.

Dual course winner who was well held on last month's return; may come on for that, he's back down towards a more workable mark and has an each-way squeak with a handy draw.

Won a local Group 1 in Kazakhstan; some promise in a couple of runs for this yard last season before a brief spell with Ali Al Badwawi; probably up against it from this sort of mark on return.

Wide-margin winner of a Redcar novice in September 2024 but showed little in three dirt runs here last winter and looks up against it on return; O'Shea prefers Arabian Tale.

Spotlight :
Losing run goes back to November 2023 but was only beaten 1l by Elyabri last season; couldn't sustain the gallop on return and had a tough trip when unable to get to the lead a fortnight ago; dangerous mark if he can get an uncontested lead.
