COMPTON RAINBOW was sent to Southwell in a bid for her hat-trick after landing a couple of races at this track in January. She was well beaten despite finishing runner-up but gets the vote back on this faster surface. Zing Wing couldn't cope with a 4lb rise last time having scored at Wolverhampton before that but Welsh Inlet has been running well without success since winning here earlier in the year. Purley Queen is getting closer and looks best of the rest off her current mark.
