In depth
Verdict
A big field but Bahamian Sunshine’s victory in a seller at Leicester in April is the most recent winning form on show. Dark Command was beaten only a nose at Musselburgh earlier but returned a losing favourite last time while both Mithqaal and Claymore may be capable of better. Bryght Boy and Tripartite are handicap debutants to consider with improvement a possibility but THE NAME’S PAVER was beaten only a length when third at Carlisle last time and Noel Wilson’s charge gets a token vote on that form.
