Verdict
Jockey bookings suggest Followeveryrainbow is the pick of Richard Hannon's two runners but she only beat one home in a poor contest here last month. Maid A Million has a penalty for an easy win at Yarmouth but will go close if handling the step up in distance and Fair Comment ran her best race so far over track and trip last time. WAVERUNNER makes her handicap and Turf debut after three solid runs in Polytrack maidens. She has a lot more scope than the majority of these and can get off the mark.
