Rainbow Rising was due to run yesterday at Lingfield and her possible absence might have opened the door for INCONCEIVABLE to grab a belated first victory. Ralph Beckett’s filly stays further and her stamina may well come into play if the ground has cut up. Pastoral Music has been equally frustrating this year but shouldn’t be far away again and Prussian Eagle ran well over hurdles earlier in the week. Eolian won over 1m2f here last month on heavy going but didn’t follow that up at Sandown.
