Great Hall beat Arrowzone, Navajo War Dance and Hit The Jackpot when scoring at Epsom and is 5lb higher. Storm Rock drops down a grade after winning at Salisbury but is best on soft ground but RAINBOW REBEL acts on most types of going and he gets another chance having gone close to landing a five-timer when second at Pontefract last week. Top Beak was narrowly beat over a mile at Haydock last time but previous attempts at this longer trip fail to boost confidence and Bahama Moon is another with something to prove over today’s trip.
