Verdict
Pray For A Rainbow has been in better form of late though his only win over hurdles so far came in heavy ground. Bostin ran well off today’s mark over track and trip in February and is not out of this but a chance is taken on BONBONNIERE improving for the longer trip. Dan Skelton’s charge ran her best race to date upped to 2m4f at Fakenham on her handicap debut and there should be more to come in a first-time tongue-tie. The Tin Miner won over fences here in December and can race off a lower mark back over timber on his first start for new connections and Stream Lady may improve for today’s fast ground.
