Sunstroke has the ability to win this at the expense of La Marmotte and Equal And Approval. The selection has been in good form of late winning at Brighton and then finishing fourth of nine at Yarmouth last time out. He still looks weighted to win and if producing his best will prove difficult to beat. La Marmotte has been running well in handicaps and now drops into selling grade for the first time. She finished an eye catching fourth of eleven on the all weather at Southwell last time out and this looks easier so any market moves should be noted. Equal And Demand has to be respected as he comes from a big yard that don¿t train bad horses as a rule. He has not set the world alight in two maiden races to date but this is a drop in grade so he has to be noted. But for the winner we return to Sunstroke.
