Ain't No Sunshine^p1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 55

50/1

Bumper winner but Flat exploits have been a little disappointing, running no sort of race over the extended 2m here last time. Needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Form: 4870-0

Selfish Brian¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 55

Forecasts

Liberated Lad (2/1), Midnight Train (6/1), Drill To Dream (13/2), Corsini (8/1), Soaring Star (8/1), Nine Elms (11/1), Selfish Brian (12/1), Miss Harmony (14/1), Sun Festival (16/1), Rockabill Angel (18/1), Medrara (25/1), Central City (28/1), Ain't No Sunshine (50/1)

CORSINI hasn't been with the Kevin Philippart de Foy stable for long and it might be worth taking a chance than first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect as she's starting to look favourably treated on her best form. Drill To Dream has been running consistently of late and is on the shortlist along with Selfish Brian who had an excuse last time and had been in decent heart prior to that.
