2/5
Has proved himself to be a useful type in bumpers, winning three of his four starts (twice at Musselburgh); sound surface fine; should handle this drop back in trip on Flat debut.

5/1

Forecasts

Alright Sunshine (2/5), Hurricane Hero (9/2), Whiskey And Water (5/1)

Verdict

A poor numerical turnout, so there's every chance that the three-time bumper scorer (twice at Musselburgh) ALRIGHT SUNSHINE can make a winning start on the Flat despite carrying top-weight of 10st (as a four-year-old). Hurricane Hero is next best on account of his proven stamina reserves over Whiskey And Water.
