Lauberhorn Rocket scored over a longer trip at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and is unexposed on this surface but Sunshineandbubbles has had 11 attempts on Turf without success and may struggle confirming recent running at Wolverhampton with runner-up Cafe Sydney. The latter is not badly treated on last year’s winning form at Brighton while HAMMY END scored over a shorter trip here last term and a recent second at Kempton looks better in hindsight with the winner subsequently going in again. Born To Please won at Nottingham when last seen on the Flat and has scored over hurdles since.
