A wide-open handicap on paper but, having floundered in the monsoon-like conditions at Pontefract, SUNRAIDER is taken to bounce back. Paul Midgley's seven-year-old had appeared to be coming into form with a gritty victory at Carlisle in June and should be capable of giving a good account back on ground that suits. Vallarta had proved frustrating to follow though a visor worked the oracle at Salisbury and his stable have been among the winners. Dream Ally won well in a lesser grade at Hamilton and Micky Hammond's gelding is potentially well handicapped on the pick of last year's form. Bosham was well backed ahead of his appearance at Carlisle on Tuesday and it will be interesting to see if his supporters are back for more tonight. Samantha Bell has won on Arctic Feeling before and Richard Fahey will be hoping that she can reawaken the six-year-old's enthusiasm for the game.
