Verdict
Bahamian Sunrise scored over a slightly shorter trip here in October with Taajub and One Big Surprise filling the places and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into consideration. But CAPTAIN BOB has been threatening to end a long losing run with placed efforts on the all-weather recently and Robert Cowell’s charge may be the one to side with in this. Socialites Red wasn’t beaten that far at Catterick last time but has just the one win in 29 attempts - Chetan looks best of the rest.
