In depth
Verdict
Compton Rainbow was caught in the closing stages when third in a handicap over C&D last week and Nicole Nordblad's 7lb claim will help her cause today. However, the second division of that handicap was run in a much faster time when FAIRYINTHEWIND finished runner-up. Paul D'Arcy's filly gets vote on that basis as the form looks stronger than Ermyn Flyer's earlier placed efforts at Epsom. Percythepinto won at Southwell yesterday but this is a stronger contest and Las Sonadora makes more appeal as she may improve on her handicap debut.
