Verdict

Mark Johnston has a good record in this opening handicap and Rainbow Rebel arrives in the form of his life. But he’s been raised a further 7lb after completing a hat-trick with a recent win at Chester. Afaak won at York before finding one to good in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot and steps up in trip but Jim Crowley prefers ALFARRIS, a dual winner over today’s distance. Narrowly beaten at Sandown last time, William Haggas’ charge is taken to confirm latest running with Pivoine and gets the nod. Silver Line is another with something to prove over 1m2f but recent Windsor winner Plutonian is still improving and looks more favourably handicapped than both Dark Red and Appeared.
