Verdict

Donnelly's Rainbow fared better than Parys Mountain here in October. Markazi has slipped to a fair mark but Mr Orange is better over a stiff 6f. CHOOKIE DUNEDIN is sell treated on Turf compared to his all-weather rating, as he showed at Doncaster 10 days ago. This doesn’t look as competitive and Keith Dalgleish’s charge can get his head back in front. The Big House won twice over course and distance last year but there was give in the ground on both occasions and Alix James makes more appeal racing off the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton nine days ago.
