Sunstroke has the form to win this and is given the tentative vote at the expense of Ingleby Flame and Burlington Fayr. The selection was a winner at Brighton last month and has since performed with credit. His latest effort when third of thirteen at Newmarket behind La Marmotte was a fair effort and was eye catching. It proved that another win is not far away off his current mark so he is a horse worth staying on the right side of. Ingleby Flame is relatively uinexposed in comparison with only three runs under his belt. They have all be decent performances without being fantastic but there is also room for improvement so any market moves should be noted. The same can be said for Burlington Fayr who is still a maiden after five runs but has shown enough in those races to warrant respect and it wont be long before his maiden tag is broken. But for the winner we return to Sunstroke.
