Would usually steer well clear of claimers but this has to be one of the best claimers run on the flat a class 3 with the winner picking up just over £6500. Sunnyside Tom has dominated these events recently and could easily continue to today in landing this rich prize for his inform trainer and jockey. Has to prove he stays this trip but has won over a furlong shorter and the way he won last time out was so impressive he is clearly in rude health at the moment and at these weights will be hard to beat. The one to perhaps watch would be Charlie Cool he is the best in on OR but has been below form recently and stable rather worringly really struggling for winners all of a sudden.

Good looking sprint will take 2 to war, with 16 runners hopefully we get 4 places fingers crossed. Piazza San Pietro has improved out of all recognition this season, having spent most of his racing career in sellers and claimers to get wins and is now rated 21lb higher than first win at yarmouth in handicap this year since then has won 4 more handicaps and ran a very creditable 3rd in a hot race at ripon last time out. Ryan Moore an eye catching booking and ground conditions to suit!

The other interesting runner is Flipando who is really well suited to these big field handicaps as he enjoys chasing a really strong pace and come with a late rattling run, and is another to be a revelation this season since switching back to sprinting trips, having won quite comfortably off a 4lb lower mark at epsom on penultimate start before never shaping as gonna land a blow at the curragh and since been given a break, goes well fresh and if back on song must have a shout of this career high mark off putting thing is yard are a little quiet

Beat The Shower takes a big step up in class today but could still be well ahead of his mark, he has improved rapidly this season winning over hurdles and 2 tries over the flat, up 5lb for latest but takes a step up in trip which could yet inch more out of him as he only got up in dying strides staying on strongly so 2miles ought to suit very well.

0.5pt e/w beat the shower 8/1 coral
