EARLY MORNING RAIN makes a quick reappearance after running in a Listed race at Newbury on Saturday and Jamie Snowden’s grey should make short work of this bunch if that run hasn’t emptied the tanks – she holds Into The Mist on collateral form. Winning pointer Rose Of Aghaboe was a 40/1 chance when winning a Warwick bumper last month but should make a hurdler. Sparky Valentine has hinted at ability and Magen's Moon has won twice at Plumpton this season, though is doubly penalised.
