Spotlight: Has been consistent of late and a winner of a stakes in September; second favourite and not beaten far in a Grade 3 at Gulfstream Park in January (had two of these rivals behind); must be respected; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he can handle the step up in class.

Spotlight: Went down by a short head in a Grade 2 at Gulfstream Park (had Anglophile (fifth) and Missed The Cut (sixth) behind) 49 days ago upped to 1m3f; a likely player.

Spotlight: Proved competitive when hitting the board in a Grade 2 last April and has managed seven wins from 18 career runs; a disappointing result (went off favourite) when beaten 2½l on his first start for this trainer 49 days ago (Gulfstream Park) in a Grade 2; warrants plenty of respect if bringing his peak form to the table.

Spotlight: Fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing seventh of 12 in a Grade 2 (dropped back to 1m1f) at Fair Grounds last month; almost victorious in a Grade 2 five months ago and has not had much racing; should go close given recent reappearance at Fair Grounds will have blown away the cobwebs.

Spotlight: Has won here; he was in the money in a Grade 2 in November; not far behind Grand Sonata when tenth at Gulfstream Park in January; an easier task than his previous race; likely to be a threat based on the pick of his form - goes well fresh.

Spotlight: Managed two wins in his last four outings; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; behind Utah Beach four weeks ago (Turfway Park, dropped to 1m1f) when tailed off in a Grade 3; facing a tougher assignment than last time, makes little appeal.

Spotlight: Split Grand Sonata and Missed The Cut when fifth 49 days ago (Gulfstream Park) in a Grade 2; if he can build on his latest effort then ought to be of interest.

Spotlight: Quick away to lead from a wide draw last month (Fair Grounds) in a Grade 2; others more persuasive despite the last time out success.

Spotlight: C&D has proven suitable before; all his victories have been gained at a lower level; fourth of 11 beaten 8l in a Grade 3 dropped back in distance; closely matched with Verstappen on that running (Turfway Park) four weeks ago; with more on his plate one to tread carefully with.

Spotlight: Out of the money and beaten 11l in the United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park (behind Grand Sonata) in July; among the places in a Grade 3 last January; on target twice in his last five outings; Brittany Russell's runners are going great guns at the moment; returning from a layoff here; a lot on his plate here and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Spotlight: Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 6-15) but all his wins have been at a lower level; successful by 1½l over 1m½f at Sam Houston (allowance optional claimer) last month; others appeal more with more demanding test in store.

Spotlight: Finished last of nine at Fair Grounds (dropped to 1m1f) in February behind Idratherbeblessed, in a Grade 3; a winner of a stakes in September but yet to win a race of this value; facing a tougher assignment than last time, no encouragement here.
