Looks Like Rain and Micquus both finished second in separate divisions of the same handicap at Chepstow last month. The latter's race was ran in a faster time and he had earlier finished a couple of lengths behind BETTER BE MINE over C+D. John Dunlop's filly finished third on that occasion but is fancied to come out best here. Run Of The Day popped-up at Southwell last time but she's just as inconsistent as Always Ends Well and Green Legacy while connections of Tazweed will be hoping for a big improvement over this extra half-mile.
