      Verdict

      IN THE SPOTLIGHT arrives in the best form having won easily at Kempton last week. Henry Spiller’s charge can defy a 6lb rise in this modest company with Louis Steward’s allowance helping out on that score. Tigerfish has been thereabouts at Lingfield recently without threatening to win and finished ahead of Hazell Berry when third last time while Mezyan finished closer on her latest start but was long way behind the selection.
