Verdict
VALLEY OF LIGHT was only beaten half-a-length in a first-time visor at Newcastle last time. Running in her first handicap, the Dubawi filly is potentially well treated on a mark of 67 and Callum Shepherd takes off another 3lb. Jack Of Diamonds and Archipeligo are recent winners who won’t go down without a fight but King Kevin looks up against it under a penalty and upped in class. Luv U Whatever has been running well lately without managing to get his head in front while a case can also be made for each-way punters regarding Barnaby Brook and Captain Revelation.
