Magic Rainbow is clearly on the downgrade nowadays, but he faces his easiest task for a while and should make no mistake. He has most to fear from the speedy Sharp Hat, who has been in good form this term, but he will need to be at the top of his game, if he is to give the weight to Magic Rainbow. Laurel Dawn goes well here, but he has no easy task giving weight away all round and a place is the best he can hope for.
