Verdict

Academic Accolade ran well on the sand at Laytown a couple of weeks ago and has performed well enough in two starts over timber to suggest he can go well despite having to concede weight all round. Garamor Boy has been very consistent in recent weeks but the fact that he's still a maiden after 25 starts is a real negative. Golan Guy had only shown a modicum of ability before his latest run here last month and supporters had their fingers burnt when he could only finish runner-up to Kaiser Say So. Huncheon Wells has done well when managing to stay on his feet and a safe round of jumping would see him go close but this should go to LETS GO SUNSHINE, a winner between the flags and improving over hurdles as his recent close seconds behind Excellent As Usual and Coolavanney Gaffer suggest.
