Verdict
Viva Colonia landed a similar event over C&D in July and followed up off an 8lb higher mark at Cartmel. David O'Meara's six-year-old has gone up a further 10lb since, however. Stable companion King In Waiting won over a longer trip here in July but can make his presence felt and Drill Sergeant comes here off the back of a brave win over 2m4f at Ffos Las last month. RAJNAGAN rattled up a four-timer before finishing fourth to Viva Colonia over C&D and has won on the Flat since. He's better off at the weights now and preferred to Rumble Of Thunder, Olympian, King Olav, Sansili and Rampant Ronnie who all won their latest outing but in weaker contests than this. Tatispout faces a tough task if she is to go one better than at Stratford but will have needed that run and was very progressive in the spring - she can't be ignored.
