Without a recognised leader, Highland George and Torn will likely set the pace. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (2) looks hardest to beat here. Has placed at both runs this campaign and is a third-up winner. Meets a moderate line-up struggling for form and won't get a better chance to score. TORN (4) is coming off a win here last time over the same trip in a BM0-58 where he stalked the pace and worked home well. Has the big claim here offsetting the weight and can measure up again. The other main hope looks to be BIDEN TIME (3) who is a talented type coming off a long break. Fitter for a trial and a jump-out and trip suits fresh. Right in this on best. HIGHLAND GEORGE (7) bombed the start over a short dash last time but over this journey will push forward and be in it for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Absolute Sunshine looks the one.
