Fluorescence has bright outlook

Fluorescence can light up Southwell on Sunday with victory in the Highbet Wimbledon Sports Welcome Offer Handicap.

Ed Bethell's charge relinquished her unbeaten record last time out when beaten just over two lengths into second on her handicap bow, having previously won two fillies' novice contests.

Her debut win came over 1200m at Southwell back in October and she then struck at that distance at Redcar in May before finding Ripon's undulations a bit of a test later that month.

The three-year-old lined up off 85 there and has actually been eked up 1lb for that effort subsequently which is a little harsh of the handicapper.

Fluorescence's run just petered out a little at Ripon, so perhaps dropping back to 1000m for the first time here is the right move to get back on the winning track.

Loch Leven is another who is new to handicapping company, having also finished second in her first attempt in this sphere.

She has shown her best form so far on synthetic surfaces, winning at Kempton last year and twice placing at the Sunbury venue.

Loch Leven then made her first start of the year at this track last month, when she was beaten 1.5-lengths by the reopposing Immediate Effect, who had the benefit of a run under her belt.

The Ollie Sangster-trained Loch Leven is 4lb better off with that rival this time and can take full advantage.

Likealot let down favourite backers last time but can be given another chance in the Highbet Weekly Racing Rewards Club Fillies' Handicap.

A winner at the first attempt in February, Ralph Beckett hiked her to Listed company at Newbury in May but she found that too stiff a test, coming home a seven-length sixth and appearing to need further than 2000m.

Her subsequent third at Carlisle seemed to further underline that point and Likealot edges up to 2200m now, which should help her cause.

As a Kingman half-brother to Golden Horn, Al Mootamarid carried plenty of expectation on the Flat but it appears jumping could be his niche after two excellent recent efforts.

After three luckless spring runs, a move to handicap company saw him finish second at Huntingdon before upgrading that effort with victory at Stratford.

His mark of 96 still gives Dominic Elsworth something to work with.
