    Verdict

    Alright Sunshine has won three of his four starts in bumpers and is an interesting recruit to the Flat but he won’t find it easy conceding 19lb to the two three-year-olds. WHISKEY AND WATER is rated 3lb higher than Southwell runner-up Hurricane Hero and is sure to be suited by this step up in distance after a staying-on second over 1m2f at Beverley – he gets the nod.
