Verdict

Donnelly's Rainbow made a winning debut in 2016 and hasn’t scored since. He’s been thereabouts over 7f recently while THORNABY NASH was placed over track and trip last time. The latter seems to act on any going and should go close in a weak handicap. The unpredictable Qasr won over 1m2f at Ayr in between distinctly modest efforts while Inner Circle slips further down the weights bidding to end a long losing run and Collingham Park may improve having undergone wind surgery since last seen in June.
