5/6
Shown improved form since joining this yard and carries a 6lb penalty for his win at Kempton on Saturday. Due to go up another 2lb and likely to prove popular for a trainer who does well with his AW runners for the size of his yard.

Unplaced on all four starts to date, including handicap debut last time. 5lb drop in generous considering it's early days but hard to fancy.

5/1
Ninth of 14 on handicap debut at Leicester when last seen and likely to do better on the AW for these connections. May need this run after an absence though.

6/1
Promising run last time on handicap debut for this yard and the booking of this jockey has to be seen as a positive. May also come on for that effort so no doubt she'll be of interest in a weak race.

20/1
First time tounge-tie and blinkers made very little difference last time and only retains the blinkers here. Yet to show enough ability to warrant consideration in this.

Forecasts

In The Spotlight (5/6), Delfie Lane (7/2), Toy Theatre (5/1), Mezyan (6/1), Tigerfish (8/1), Hazell Berry (12/1), Oakley Pride (20/1)

Verdict

IN THE SPOTLIGHT holds obvious claims carrying a 6lb penalty and he looks very hard to beat if he turns up in the same form as his last two starts. Meyzan produced an improved run last time and may come on for that effort so she can give the likely favourite most to think about. Tigerfish looks best of the rest after a promising effort from out of the handicap last time. 1. In The Spotlight 2. Mezyan 3. Tigerfish
