Verdict
It is hard to get away from the claims of Rainbow Dance, even with his 7lb penalty, in this fairly moderate looking contest. He has looked a useful recruit since arriving at Jonjo O'Neill's set up at Jackdaws Castle and although he will be no world-beater, he has the scope to sweep past these in a breeze.
