Another ultra-competitive staying handicap. Frankie keeps faith with Corelli, narrowly beaten over 1m4f at York and only 2lb higher. Garbanzo won at this meeting last year and made a winning return to action at Kempton. Reshoun bids for back-to-back victories in this race and is only 3lb higher. He should again beat Clever Cookie, one of a number of these that ran in the race at York won by Eddystone Rock. Melting Dew fared best but the drop in distance will suit Charles Kingsley and Blakeney Point. Reshoun’s stablemate Time To Study got back to winning ways in a minor contest in France but Not So Sleepy makes more appeal. ALRIGHT SUNSHINE had won three bumpers before making a winning start on the Flat at Musselburgh in May. Unsurprisingly, he showed further improvement stepped up to this trip last time and this strong traveller should handle another rise in class.
