Verdict
The trickiest race on the card is left to last and after much deliberation Chase The Rainbow is the selection with Neon Blue, Bond Brooklyn and Fitzwarren given as three of the main dangers. Mark Johnston's colt returned to Catterick, the scene of his debut fifth behind Jadan, to beat Myskina in impressive style, and because it wasn't the greatest of races, she gets in here on a very lenient mark. Bond Brooklyn disserves to win a race of this nature follwing some gallant efforts in defeat, the best of which was a one and a half length second to Vikings Bay up at Ayr. Fitzwarren looks well treated on bits and pieces of form, and Neon Blue is also worthy of respect having finished a close up fourth behind Traytonic in a better race at York last time. We will take a chance though on the lightly raced Chase The Rainbow.
