Verdict

Beautiful Sunrise was having his first all-weather start and making his handicap debut when returning from a long break at Kempton last month where he led at the furlong pole but was caught by Mogok Valley soon after. He should have come on for the run and holds Daytona Lady and Muy Muy Guapo but EXPERT AGENT had beaten that winner at Kempton in January and looks worth following despite an 8lb rise. Rossmore Nation had been progressive in Ireland and made a winning start for the in-form Mick Appleby at Southwell last week for which a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another big run. Talamanca won three nurseries on Turf last summer and can't be ruled out.
