Verdict
Sunny Express doesn’t look the heartiest of battlers and has to give weight to some more consistent types on his handicap debut. Cracker Jak returns on a potentially-lenient mark and Vinnie's Getaway found 2m too short at Ludlow, though still ran well. Stubborn Logic was back to his best when third at Wincanton and should stay the longer trip around here. Jonjoela and PERFECT MOMENT are both returning from a lengthy absence but the latter took a real shine to this track at the end of last year and will be happy to be back on familiar ground.
