Bonus could only manage third at Epsom raised 9lb for an earlier win in soft ground here with Moosmee well beaten in second and INNER CIRCLE (NAP) back in third. The former has won over 6f subsequently but the latter scored over today’s trip at Chepstow last time and Mark Loughnane’s charge is taken to come out best on this occasion with the fast going in his favour. Rainbow Sign showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when placed on his latest start and is preferred of the rest.
