Alright Sunshine^v¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 68| D

6/1

Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

For Pleasure^t³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyrese Cameron| T: O Murphy| OR: 66

7/1

9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, soft) 38 days ago. Fair on the Flat so must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Carlton (8/13), Night Bear (11/2), Alright Sunshine (6/1), For Pleasure (7/1), Annandale (22/1), Corsican Caper (25/1)

This can go the way of CARLTON who is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of his very good recent C&D third. For Pleasure appeals as the main danger on the back of his Haydock hurdling success with Night Bear also in the picture.
