Sunset Nova and Tynamite are both five-times track winners and the former is on a very lowly mark with his rider's claim factored in. The Cola Brasil was very consistent on Turf in Ireland before moving to the UK where he failed to win in four starts. JAMES HENRY is still a maiden after 15 starts but that shouldn't last much longer judging by his head defeat here a fortnight ago and he's taken to go one better. Golden Days completed a Turf double in July and though yet to score here her stable is in superb form. Pimstrel, three-times a winner on Turf, has only had one run here over three years ago.
