Primo Bacio has been competing in tougher races over 7f on Turf and may well finish closer over this shorter trip. But RAINBOW’S PONY was only beaten a head in a handicap at Chepstow in August when finishing in front of a subsequent winner so the Hannon filly is taken to go one better. Footstepsonthemoon has a bit to find on these terms but Isla Vista may improve further after placing at Windsor and Shining Success is another to note. The selection’s stablemate and newcomer Mummy Bear looks the yard’s second string on jockey bookings.
