BAHAMIAN SUNSHINE s record on ground with some give is poor so the switch to Fibresand is an obvious concern but his victory at Wolverhampton last month is easily the best form on offer. Piccacard, runner up of over 7f here nine days ago, may be the one to chase the selection home ahead of Pilgrims Path, who turned in a shocker when favourite at Catterick last time. Redcar sixth Griffin Street is preferred to Ada Misobel of the others.
