Verdict
Following impressive handicap wins at Salisbury and Kempton on his last two starts Sunley Sense bids to complete a quick hat-trick of wins in this classified stakes race. Provided those runs have not taken their toll it is difficult to see anything but a victory for Mick Channon's gelding, who gets the TEAMtalk vote. Wicked Uncle, who was a length third to Texas Gold at Newbury last time, looks best for the forecast choice. Parisian Elegance has lost his way recently, while neither Basbousate Nadia or Bonny Ruan make much appeal.
