7/2

Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, evens) 25 days ago, finishing with running left. He has more to offer.

Form: 255-33

3/1

Visored for 1st time, good third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/3) 17 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations.

13/2

Second of 4 in handicap (8/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, firm) on return 9 days ago, rallying. This is tougher but suspect she's on a fair mark and could go well back on AW.

The Spotlight Kid¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: D K Ivory| OR: 63

10/1

Promise in his qualifying runs and looked unlucky when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 13/2) 17 days ago, keeping on and only around a neck down when squeezed out final 100 yds. More to come.

Forecasts

Sicilian Vito (3/1), Brynteg (7/2), Kenilworth King (9/2), Trans Montana (13/2), Damascus Finish (15/2), Sandy Paradise (17/2), The Spotlight Kid (10/1), Bungle Bay (11/1), Addie Boo Boo (12/1), Silverdale (16/1), Famille Verte (25/1), Ruith Le Tu (50/1)

Not one previous winner among these 3-y-os but some potential improvers and THE SPOTLIGHT KID can post his first success following a promising handicap debut at Kempton. He ran out of room late on there and is surely capable of better. Brynteg is another with more to come, while Kenilworth King was well backed when a fine second at Wolverhampton and could find a race.
