Verdict
Despite making mistakes, Bishop Wulstan sprang a 25/1 surprise on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and may be capable of better. But he will have to improve to get the better of Brian Ellison's pair. COME ON SUNSHINE is unbeaten in two starts and wasn't disgraced on the Flat on Tuesday. He's closely matched with stablemate Full Day on a line through Vosne Romanee and can just edge this. Neither the exposed Magic Magnolia nor newcomer Sicilian Bay make much appeal in this grade.
