A tricky handicap to end proceedings and the narrow vote goes to Little Bob, Sunshine On Me and Little Eye are just two of many dangers. Little Bob looked a winner waiting to happen when finshing placed in competitive handicaps at Redcar and Newcastle. However he disappointed badly at Chester last time from a high draw. As a consequence his handicap mark has dropped to 61, and as his previous victory came off a mark of 75 he is very well handicapped. Sunshine On Me has been making hay recently, winning three in a row. The handicapper may just have her measure now but she should still be capable of reaching the frame. Goodwood winner Little Eye continues to run well and is one to keep on the right side. Singlet is another that is going well at present and has place claims, but Little Bob is definitely the pick of the weights today and he gets the decision.
