Verdict
A couple of these have scored over track and trip recently though Daphne May won a lower grade contest and is upped 4lb. Wonder Elmossman is preferred on last week’s convincing success for which he’s penalised while Isola Rossa has been thereabouts since winning here back in November. THE RAIN KING (NAP) had been struggling until finishing third at Windsor on his first outing after wind surgery. He’s tumbled 20lb down the weights since joining Alex Dunn’s yard and now looks set to take advantage.
