Dubai Rainbow gained his second victory on the track when well supported for a handicap in September but couldn't hold off Scream in a 7f claimer next time. Loaded hasn't won since completing a hat-trick in the UK in 2016 and though he couldn't have gone any closer over 7f last time he's back up the weights. RED AVENGER hasn't won since last summer when scoring at the Curragh from 17lb higher. He's been given a chance by the assessor here and gets the nod though Suntory Times would be a major threat if repeating his recent run when just failing to peg back Lily Lily Rose.
