Verdict
Despite a massive 14lb rise for his latest success, Rainforest Magic is a potential blot on the handicap and the only doubt is the going as it was good ground when he scored twice at the Galway Festival. If the rains arrive, he's the one to be on but with the ground currently fast is taken on with COSIMI DE MEDICI, whose connections were delighted he picked up a penalty for landing the trial for this last month as it got him into the handicap. He looks on the upgrade and, though this is a stiffer task, should be in the firing-line at the finish. Never Can Tell, Kazbow and Colour Vision are all very closely matched on recent Chester form though that track bears absolutely no resemblance to this. La Estrella did her winning on Fibresand but like many of these is well weighted with Veiled on their run in the Ascot Stakes and any one of half-a-dozen could reverse the form with the winner, especially runner-up Ermyn Lodge on the revised terms. Keys is another progressive stayer with a real chance while Beyond looks as though he's been laid out for this by the Pipe yard who are no strangers to success in the event.
