Into The Light

Selected at: 5/1

Into The Light only made his debut in February and he managed to get off the mark at Lingfield, with the runner-up boosting the form by winning twice since. He bumped into a smart prospect when second under a penalty next time and the form of his narrow defeat on handicap debut looks very solid. Charlie Appleby’s three-year-old remains unexposed and the best is surely yet to come.
