SAMMY SUNSHINE was very game when battling home in a desperate finish at Kempton last time and could well benefit from this furlong-drop in trip. The booking of Oisin McSweeney more than offsets the small rise inflicted by the handicapper and a strong performance is anticipated. Rivas Rob Roy looks the likeliest danger, having returned to form recently when just inched out at Lingfield and looks really well handicapped on the best of his form. A market check is essential for the unexposed Simply Sin on a first start since scoring here in August 2020 and Pilot Wings and Just Albert, both course and distance winners, could also take a hand.
