A race to treat with a cautious approach can go to Sunset King, who edges preference over Rockys Girl and Breezer. The last named hails from a yard that have their horses in good form at present and it will come as no surprise to see this fellow make a bold bid. However, Breezer is on a long losing run and, as he needs to put a modest effort from last time behind him, he may prove a risky option for win only purposes. Rockys Girl has claims in this grade and, having gone close ina similar event at Warwick a fortnight ago, she has to be placed on the shortlist today. However, Sunset King raised his game the last time he visited Plumpton and, as this is a considerably easier assignment, he is fancied to stamp his authority over this moderate bunch of rivals.
