Verdict
It may be worth giving Sunley Sense another try here as he has posted some credible speed ratings and is hard to pass when things go his way. He has a decent enough draw and should make a bold bid under a useful claiming jockey. That said his wins to runs ratio does not make for the best of reading and, if the percentages allow it, Absolute Fantasy and Paddywack should also be on the list. Peruvian Chief and Bond Boy are others to consider but have not been done any favours by the draw.
