Sciatin looked unlucky when chasing home subsequent Doncaster winner Anna Pavlova at Newcastle last month and is taken to gain compensation, despite a 6lb rise since then, at the main expense of Ocean Pride and Always Baileys. The last mentioned lost little in defeat behind Genari at Haydock last time but has been done few favours by being raised 4lbs for that effort. Zennerman has to be respected given the current form of Mark Brisbourne's runners but has given every indication that he needs some help from the handicapper, while Rainbow's Classic would not appear to be particularly well treated for his first start in this grade. Luna Landing has plenty to find, even on the revised terms, with the selection on running at Newcastle and of more interest may be Ocean Pride, who held on well at Sandown last time. Sciatin would have gone close to Anna Pavlova at Newcastle though and looks worth a bet to go one better today.
