In depth
Verdict
The drop in trip, seemed to bring out the best in Sunday Rain, who up to that point had been disappointing over hurdles. Now he has got his head in front, he may have given his confidence a boost. Betabatim has more to do than winning a maiden hurdle last time, while Amjad will need to settle better if he is to last home. Winning chaser Bengal Boy, does not look over burdened, but they may all have to play for places behind the in form Brave Vision, who runs in this in preference to the earlier handicap.
