      Verdict

      RAINBOW REBEL lost his maiden tag at Carlisle last week in no uncertain terms and a 6lb penalty is hardly likely to prevent another big effort so he gets the nod. The veteran Rasaman has won 14 times including here last month and he's only 1lb higher while nine-times winner Ralphy Boy won a better class handicap here earlier this month. It's a long time since Mime Dance won and she was well beaten off a lower mark last time while Beautiful Stranger and Dark Crystal are closely matched on their 1-2 at Ayr last month.
