An outside draw is a concern but SHOW ME A SUNSET (NAP) did win from stall nine at Wolverhampton at the start of the month. He’s only 2lb higher and has twice finished second over this track and trip. Kingsholm, a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton, last month, should be suited by a return to 6f but Salsoul has changed stables since last seen while Willingly prefers Turf to the all-weather. Mellys Flyer has been racing over longer trips so may not have the pace to take advantage of a good draw but Join Forces should be thereabouts again and Imagine Freedom has more scope than most.
