A race where Sunnyside Tom, All You Need and Perlachy all make appeal and we shall go with All You Need. Reg Hollinshead won this race last year and while the market did not make too much of her on debut at the Knavesmire, she ran on well to take third and should have come on for the run. Sunnyside Tom is a half-brother to sprinter, Princely Hush. Any market support should not be ignored. Perlachy has had more experience than most. Ridden prominently, today is a step up in trip. Homecroft Boy is a son of first-season sire, Kyllachy and should find this trip ideal. Park's Girl is quite precociously bred and will qualify for handicaps after today's outing. Mandy's Maestro was quietly fancied at Newcastle and should have come on for the run. Plenty of winners will come out of this race and we will stick with All You Need.
