Verdict

RAINBOW REBEL was sent off favourite at Southwell for his racecourse debut but found one too good. Mark Johnston's colt can make amends on this faster surface given both Firesnake and Thee And Me failed to figure on their respective debuts at Bath and Beverley. I T Guru looks nothing special on breeding though is still worth a second glance in the betting representing the Hannon yard.
