      Verdict

      Call Me Sunshine gets the call here over Cruise Director, Blue Sky Thinking and Digger. The selection came good over a shorter trip here last time but, with breeding suggesting the extra distance might suit, can go well again. Cruise Director ran well over this trip the time before last and, a repeat of that effort gives him claims. Flying Treaty is well-weighted on the best of his mile form but, although he does not race over this far too often, has won at the trip. Blue Sky Thinking has never run over this far but, once again, it could bring about improvement. Digger is just two-pounds higher in the ratings than for his Southwell win in January, but has never won here, while Tropical Son was noted staying on over 13 furlongs at Lingfield last time so could be primed to run well. Not an easy race to get a handle on but it could pay to side with Call Me Sunshine once again.
