Richard Fahey runs two with Tony Hamilton riding In My Place. But BAHAMIAN SUNSHINE landed a seller on heavy going at Leicester earlier this year and may get the better of his stablemate in this. Picks Pinta won on fast ground over track and trip in August while Gilmer was a runner-up here just two days ago and drops in class. Be Bop Tango also drops into plating company for the first time while both Letbygonesbeicons and Saltarello have plenty to find at the weights.
