Rainbow Dash, Josh You Are and Salut Saint Cloud make most appeal in this handicap and the vote goes to Josh You Are. Don Cantillon's 5-year-old got back to winning ways at Lingfield on Tuesday when getting the better of the well-fancied Lorikeet. That was a good effort considering he was returning from a break and if he takes his chance here then he should be capable of following-up. Rainbow Dash is the one to note in the market as he has got some decent flat form over in Ireland, although more recently he has been running over hurdles. Salut Saint Cloud looks to be on a decent mark at present and his last couple of runs have been good enough to suggest that his turn might not be far away. Kanisorn is a consistent type and he is another with place prospects, but for the winner we will stick with Josh You Are.
