Sunshine On Me has a solid chance of extending his winning run in this company and gets the nod over Artful Whisper and Mink Mitten, while Love You Always is also respected as one of the shortlist after winning a lady riders event here just over three weeks ago. A case can also be made for Come What July on the pick of his efforts but like a few of the rest, he appears to be better on the All Weather tracks. Mink Mitten gets the trip well and should be capable of giving them all something to think about. However, she is still a maiden and her limitations well and truly exposed last time. Artful Whisper has more scope for improvement and, as she hails from a yard that does well here, she is one top seriously consider if supported. However, Sunshine On Me has all the right attributes to get the vote on this occasion. The daughter of Kris has improved in leaps and bounds this season, acts on most types of ground and, with Slade O'Hara taking a very handy 7lb off with his claim, topweight is not such a stiff barrier to break for Sunshine On Me in this company.
