Jockey bookings would suggest that David O'Meara's preferred is Shesthedream who showed ability in a northern maiden last time but SUNNYSIDE BOB makes greater appeal having gone well in a couple of handicaps this season. He was staying on at Redcar last time, not beaten at all far by Dyllan, and the combination of a first-time hood and Josh Doyle's 5lb claim should see him deliver a good account against mainly less experienced sorts. Sacred Harp also has two useful handicap runs under his belt and is respected but Noble Act looms as a larger threat. The Kyllachy filly showed significant improvement from her debut when fourth in a decent Doncaster maiden and Rae Guest has always excelled with fillies, although the yard has been quieter than normal this term.
