Bajan Flash is worth a market check in a first-time visor but without that guide the one to be one looks to be RAINY NIGHT. Jack Mitchell was aboard when this horse landed a real touch at Leicester and with the second horse a reliable yard-stick who has won since a 5lb rise looks fair. This extra furlong should be within his compass and he should take all the beating. Master Of Song looks set to run well again following two near-misses over both six furlongs and a mile, with this in-between distance suitable, but he's up 6lbs following those efforts and life is set to be tougher. Pearly Wey is well-treated on his best, as looks to be Piquante, while Sea Salt should run well over a course and distance he enjoys.
