Verdict
The Spotlight Kid bids for a hat-trick on his return having completed a double at Yarmouth last autumn while Calin's Lad has won a couple of lower grade races on the all-weather recently. SANDY PARADISE beat Calonne here last year and is racing over track and trip for the first time since scoring here again in January. He may edge an open contest with La Rav, Give A Little Back and the returning Trans Montana others with a shout.
