TEXAS SUN looked a reasonable prospect on his first couple of starts for Ger Lyons last season and, having got his career back on track since joining his current stable, he's worth a chance to defy a mark of 64 on his first go in handicaps. Estepona Sun and Charlie Darling could emerge as the main dangers.
