Tony Carroll has three entries with Spray Tan, a winner here last month, likely to prove the best of the trio despite a moderate later effort at Lingfield. Shaft Of Light hasn't had much experience and it was a surprise when he landed a handicap here last month for which a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive. COPPER CAVALIER will be having his first start over the minimum trip but he made all over 6f here last month and is taken to repeat the process. Rat Catcher has gone close on a couple of occasions on this track and should be winning soon from this sort of mark but Imjin River is best at Southwell.
