Verdict

A race where the least exposed horses in the field stake the best claims, ALRIGHT SUNSHINE has progressed with every run on the Flat so far and is unbeaten from one start in handicaps. While he has a 4lb rise to contend with he looks the one to beat and could be one to consider for some major handicaps in the autumn if he keeps improving. Dragons Voice seems to have found a level of consistency in this type of company and could be on a dangerous mark on a track where stamina isn't emphasised, while Theglasgowwarrior looks tailor-made for staying handicaps based on his Newcastle effort last time.
