A rejuvenated SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES has now won four of her last six outings having scored over course and distance last time. This looks no tougher, despite a 6lb rise, and she’s preferred to Celtic Classic. The latter finished a close-up fourth over 1m4f at Wolverhampton recently, with Mobham behind, while Sulochana found one too good when sent off favourite at Bath and races off the same mark. Cousin Rosaura was sent over 2m at Lingfield for her handicap debut and may fare better over today’s shorter trip.
