5/2

Backed up Newcastle handicap bow victory with narrow win in 4-runner handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft, 10/11) 24 days ago. Just 2 lb higher on polytrack debut and is one for shortlist.

6/1

Returned to form when close third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Races off same mark and is a likely contender.

20/1

11/4

Made a good start for new yard, posting good placed efforts here last month, latest when second of 13 in handicap (8f) 19 days ago, outbattled. Likely to be in the mix again.

200/1

First run since leaving Henry Spiller when twelfth of 13 in handicap (100/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Hard to fancy.

10/1

10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 22 days ago. Others look better treated, though.

66/1

Course winner. Won 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/2). Off 116 days. More needed off 5 lb higher but must enter calculations.

14/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Sixth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 184326

Midnight Flame⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 58

150/1

17/2, ninth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 72 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving John Quinn. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 36-4579

Forecasts

Port Erin (5/2), King Of Ithaca (11/4), The Spotlight Kid (6/1), Tickets (13/2), Weydaad (9/1), Miss Gallagher (10/1), Chalk Mountain (14/1), Lilkian (14/1), Maharajas Express (20/1), Sweet Bertie (66/1), Midnight Flame (150/1), Perfect Focus (200/1)

THE SPOTLIGHT KID has been given a chance by the handicapper and turned in his best effort of the season at Yarmouth last time. He can return to winning ways. Port Erin and King of Ithaca are feared most.
