Rainbow Bay gets the confident vote to win this maiden with Phinerine and Sandwith rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on his debut behind Original Source. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and although the drop in trip is a slight concern he has a good draw and is taken to score. Phinerine rates the main danger on his latest second behind First Among Equals but he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type and for that reason is passed over on this occasion. Sandwith is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Mint but that form has since been let down so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Fayr Sky and Coleorton Foxe are others that have shown ability to date and should be monitored in the market but both have ran as if they would be suited by a longer trip and for the winner we return to Rainbow Bay.
