LIQUID SUNSHINE drops back to sprinting after scoring over a mile here last week, but today's competition is so poor she just might get away with it. Sylvester Kirk's filly also carries a penalty but the booking of Jimmy Fortune suggests another bold bid is expected. Tuibama, Gone By Sunrise and Clodhopper are all returning form lay-offs but are lightly-raced and open to improvement, while Chepstow nursery winner First Rebellion is 3lb higher today but still makes more appeal than Flying Kitty.
