Verdict

A winner over hurdles in France during the summer, Saintemilion debuts for Paul Nicholls and is penalised for that success. RAINBOW DREAMER also carries a 7lb penalty for his recent course and distance win but Alan King’s charge beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and should go close again on the strength of that form. Boethius posted a much better effort when fourth at Ffos Las and is preferred to Masterson and Funny Oyster while Dusty Raven makes his hurdling debut after nine unsuccessful starts on the Flat.
