In depth
Verdict
Plenty of in-form performers here and from a shortlist of Chocolate Caramel, Full Toss and SUNNY SPELLS, it is the last-named who is preferred. The selection creeps into this race with a 6lb penalty for a recent course win, and he looks sure to try and run up a sequence. He is proven over this trip having won at Great Leighs over a year ago, and he seemed to enjoy this surface when successful here a week ago. Victory Quest is out of form, and has plenty to find with Calculating on the last-named on their running here on the 15th. Outrageous Request is becoming a frustrating maiden, Tenjack King has stamina to prove, whilst Bentley Brook is a strong-stayer and he is able to race from a more realistic mark this afternoon. Chocolate Caramel is well-handicapped if taking to the surface on his first try at the track. Full Toss has stamina to prove, but along with the consistent pair of Clear Reef and Dunaskin he is not to be ruled out entirely. An open handicap where it is Sunny Spells who is taken to win again.
