Verdict
Sunny Times made an encouraging reappearance when chasing home Big Mystery in a maiden claimer at Lingfield and has to be respected but Richard Hannon holds s strong hand here saddling both He's A Star and Hidden Chance, with the latter marginally preferred. The selection has not been firing on all cylinders so far but ran better than his finishing position would suggest at Bath last time and at the weights he makes more appeal than He's A Star. The last mentioned made a winning return at Warwick in March but disappointed at Nottingham last month and is probably best passed over here. He's A Diamond may struggle to concede weight away all round and of more interest may be Tiger Dawn, who should strip fitter for his recent return. Hidden Chance has an obvious chance at the weights and we are preferred to side with him and the judgement of Richard Hughes, who also chooses him over He's A Star.
