Verdict
The unbeaten SUNSHADE will likely prove popular having followed a bumper success with last month’s victory at Ludlow on her hurdling bow. Nicky Henderson’s filly can shrug off a penalty and get the better of Black Sam Bella. The latter went close at Bangor before disappointing at Ludlow and looks the biggest danger on that earlier form. Infinite Sun has won a bumper and goes hurdling for the first time along with Absolutely Dylan but Dyliev may well finish closer after a modest hurdling debut at Wetherby given he won four times on the Flat when trained in France.
