Verdict

All have some sort of chance in this but the top three in the weights all look in need of further respite from the assessor. Good Old Days and Nesnaas are consistent sorts but are finding it increasingly difficult to get their head in front, while Rince Donn regularly suggests that he is not putting it all in. His latest runner-up effort behind Sumner indicated as much but he does look well treated here and should be involved. In contrast, BAJAN SUNSHINE is enjoying a purple patch with three wins from his last four starts. He is up 25lb since the start of that run but displays a good attitude and couldn't be in better heart - he gets the vote.
