RAINBOW VIEW can keep her unbeaten record intact while the main opposition may come from Fantasia and Dreamtheimpossible. John Gosden has a fine record in this Group 1 contest having won it with the likes of Nannina, Playful Act and Crystal Music in recent years and he has another potential star on his hands in the shape of Rainbow View. There's no knowing how good she is at this stage as she has yet to come off the bridle, winning both her maiden and the Sweet Solera by six lengths before taking the Group 2 May Hill Stakes by a margin of two lengths which flattered the vanquished. It remains to be seen how much she can produce when asked to pull out all the stops but there's no doubting that she is very, very good. Luca Cumani won this with the talented and popular Gossamer back in 2001 and Fantasia has followed the same route into this race. There were a few pundits happy to crab the form of her debut success given that it was run in a downpour but she confirmed herself to be a smart performer when running on strongly to win the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. The 1,000 Guineas has already been earmarked as a target for this daughter of Sadler's Wells which is an indication of the regard in which she is held and this further step up in trip is certain to suit but connections have stated their concerns about her ability to handle fast ground. Dreamtheimpossible is the selected entry of three from the Wachman yard and must be respected. She was a major eyecatcher on debut when making good late headway without ever troubling the winner and confirmed that impression when pitched into Listed company next time and running out a length and a quarter winner; the second had won her maiden impressively at the first attempt and was firmly put in her place at the Curragh. Her trainer knows what's required to win the big races over here and she should be in the mix. The Queen's Golden Stream merits a mention having won her maiden well but this is a huge step up in class and she will have to be out of the top drawer to lower the colours of Rainbow View.
