A pretty modest claimer can go to RITASUN, who take a big drop in class. He's won on Tapeta and Fibresand and this will be only his third try on Polytrack – Hollie Doyle takes off a useful 5lb and rides this track well. Lilbourne Prince would be thereabouts on the pick of his form while Moving Robe is the least exposed and ran his best race to date last time in a Chelmsford handicap. Threebagsue won here in April and can probably be forgiven her run at Deauville last month.
