Verdict

SUNNY FUTURE concedes plenty of weight all round but Richard Hughes is booked and the dual course winner stays further than this trip so a front-running effort at a good gallop is anticipated. He battled on splendidly to repulse Dumbarton here last time so arrives in good heart and can defy a career-high mark of 73. Hurakan has yet to score over this far and Lily Potts still retains maiden status but did run well over 1m4f at Chepstow last time, albeit in a lower class race, on her reappearance after eight months off. The danger though looks to be Chapter Five. She just prevailed in a battle royal with Miss Tiger Lily last time, her first win since landing a Newcastle bumper on debut when in the care of Keith Reveley. She's improved for the move into staying trips on the Flat since leaving the northern yard and looks a threat to the selection off 58.
