Verdict

Alright Sunshine was not suited to the way the race was run at Ripon when narrowly failing to concede a lot of weight to younger rivals. The triple bumper winner faces a similar problem here as he is dropped in trip and has to give NOBLE PROSPECTOR 16lb. Richard Fahey's charge was backed to open his account last time but, although finding further improvement, he found top gear too late. Up another 2f he has every chance to atone. Match Maker, who was third to a couple of useful sorts on his debut, has been sidelined for two years and a market check seems advisable.
  1. Noble Prospector
