FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HEY SUNSHINE has top weight but has nice form and won well on her recent jumps' debut. While the form of her Kilbeggan win is not outstanding and she carried bottom weight, she won readily, with the runner-up and fourth-finisher each subsequently placing. She is suited by a sound surface and should be competitive from her initial handicap rating. Tell Nobody Nothin won over today's course-and-distance last month and while he too won well and seems a progressive four-year-old, faces a slightly stiffer task now. Disco Dancer holds Tell Me This on their prior meeting when they raced from similar weights at this course over a similar distance in June, although each appears to be in the handicapper's grip.
