Verdict
The Spotlight Kid gained his two career victories over this track and trip a year ago and is just 2lb higher than his last success. Okeanos has been a beaten favourite in four of his five runs since landing a Wolverhampton handicap in April. The lightly-raced Astral Spirit has been placed in three of her last four while Ideal Guest completed a track and trip double in August, though on fast going. LEGENDE D'ART won off a higher mark here in May and his three later runs have all been at Chelmsford. Back on this surface, he can return to winning ways.
