In depth
Verdict
Sound Of Iona is in great form but was engaged in the 5.30 at Windsor last night. Mejthaam ran poorly at York last month but has a chance on earlier form, though steps back up in trip. RAINBOW MIRAGE has switched stables since beating Port Noir at Wolverhampton but is only 3lb higher and is just as effective on Turf. Karuoka can’t be ignored but stall one may not be ideal and Nottingham runner-up Torvi makes more appeal with Benoit De La Sayette’s claim in her favour. Love Trophy Power should also be thereabouts again.
