Sunnyside Tom has found a new lease of life of late and acts under conditions but conceding over a stone to FLYING VALENTINO won't be easy and the Ian Williams' mare is preferred. The yard saddled a well backed winner in a similar race on Monday and market support would increase our confidence, but even without it Flying Valentino's recent form, feather-weight and form at stiff tracks earns her the vote. Sunnyside Tom acts well at the track and won't mind which way the ground goes, all of which may see him take second ahead of Wigwam Willie. He's not won for a while but relishes cut in the ground and stays the trip well. Kashimin represents a yard with a fine record in these races while Applaude wasn't far behind Sunnyside Tom last time.
