Lavar Stoney, former mayor of Richmond, is probably the favorite. He dropped out of the Gov race to pave the way for Spanberger. He has a dual-endorsement from McAuliffe. More compelling to me is State Sen Aaron Rouse, a former NFL player representing Virginia Beach. He's 40 and Stoney is 43.

I'm not so sure that Stoney is the favorite to win the LG nomination. There's another candidate running for LG from the Richmond area (state Senator Ghazala Hashmi), and I wouldn't be surprised if they split the vote in the Richmond area. Babur Lateef and Aaron Rouse are the only LG candidates from their respective regions of the state, so my early guess is that one of them will win the primary.
