Verdict
AESTIVAL may have most to fear from Sunny Future as he bids to complete his hat-trick whilst Una Pelota could be an interesting each-way play. Sir Mark Prescott is renowned for placing his horses well and he certainly found a modest contest at Yarmouth for Aestival on Tuesday evening and the progressive gelding had little problem in supplementing his Brighton gains. He has a double penalty to carry in a better race so could be vulnerable but he may still be able to get the job done. Sunny Future ran out a cosy winner of a course and distance handicap last time with Aspirational back in third and is the obvious alternative to the Heath House runner on the back of that effort and he appears to have improved for being tried over the longer trip. Una Pelota has yet to deliver on the promise that he showed last season but he's tried in a tongue tie now and is slipping down the weights whilst headgear may also bring about an improved performance from Welsh Anthem but Aestival can continue to make hay whilst the sun shines.
