Alright Sunshine won over 1m6f before finishing ahead of the returning Arrowtown when runner-up over the same trip at Haydock. The latter won this in testing going last year but is 9lb higher today while Theglasgowwarrior ran well for second over 2m at Ascot earlier and has the beating of Claire Underwood on collateral form. But SEINESATIONAL (NAP) was placed at Goodwood last time and was beaten only a neck over 2m4f at the same track before that. Bill Knight’s charge is fancied to go close again over today’s marathon trip given So Near So Farhh is upped in class and winning hurdler Project Bluebook hasn’t scored on the Flat since 2016.
