Orion's Bow has a new lease of life and has completed a double in convincing fashion. However, he's 10lb higher than last time in a better class race so will find this tougher. RURAL CELEBRATION wouldn't want the ground too fast but makes a quick reappearance after a close fourth in a Class 2 handicap at York on Friday and, if none the worse for those exertions, should get back to winning ways. Mass Rally had been racing in better company before second in this class at Haydock and he's another who would appreciate some rain. Highly Sprung's only victory came on fast going at Catterick last summer while Fast Shot has failed to take advantage of a big drop in the ratings despite being well supported last time.
