Verdict
SUNNYSIDE TOM gets the tentative vote. He was fourth in a handicap back in 2009 on his only previous start on this surface and is best in at the weights today, needing only to run up to the form of August's win at Beverley to land this. Mcconnell won a seller over C&D in November but failed to land the odds here last time, while William Morgan is another course winner but showed nothing in two starts at Wolverhampton last month. The remaining pair are hard to fancy on today's terms.
