An ordinary mile handicap here where it could pay to side with Emily's Rainbow to take it from Kinsman and Piccolo Diamante. The selection is unexposed and has not shown a huge amount so far, but she is related to winners at around this trip. After one or two concentration issues William Haggas chooses to fit first time blinkers here and that can galvanise here effort on the route to success at a price. Kinsman will be a few points shorter after winning last time over c&d in a claimer. 4lb higher here, this is not hot so he should still be able to get heavily involved. Piccolo Diamante won here over 6f earlier in the month, but has not managed to follow up twice since, both over 7f. Today's mile is an unknown, though pedigree suggests it will suit, so he is an interesting runner. Jomus may be capable of making the frame again after a recent hurdles spin, but for the winner we will take a chance on Emily's Rainbow.
