Bold Spirit has to concede plenty of weight to the younger BAHAMIAN SUNRISE as both return to action. The latter went close at Redcar in August and may prove good enough while Collosium ran well for third at Ripon on his introduction but that was nearly a year ago now. Red Tycoon has a bit to find with the selection on today's terms while Pomme De Terre showed a glimpse of promise on his debut before running as though something was amiss at Redcar last time.
