In depth
Verdict
Into The Spotlight is the most exposed and is conceding plenty of weight to the younger horses including Goldkit. The latter disappointed last time having gone close at Kempton on her earlier debut but Roadway finished closer on her latest start and is fitted with cheekpieces for this. SITHCHEAN is a half-sister to a host of winners including Master Of The Seas, a recent Group 2 winner in Meydan, and the Godolphin filly may prove good enough on her debut. Swing To The Stars is a sister to a winner and Two Fools Collide is related to Listed winners.
