Rainy City was only beaten a neck under Megan Nicholls at Chepstow in September but he is just starting to run out of chances and he'll probably be a short price for this. We prefer MAGNIMITY at the likely odds as the horse that beat him at Ludlow in May, Jack Frost, is turning into a nice prospect. Charlie Cook was third in that Ludlow race and looks held but Verni was placed at Ayr on his debut and should have improved for the outing.
