Turbo Linn is selected in preference to Under The Rainbow and Portal. The selection was one of the highlights of the July meeting and provided that this assignment does not come too soon, it looks impossible to oppose this progressive filly. Under The Rainbow would not need it any softer and connections will be hoping that the rain stays away. She finished behind the selection and is 7lb better in but the winning margin greatly flattered her. Portal would similarly need fast conditions to show her best form and with James Fanshawe a master of training to the moment, the market is watched. Green Room was never sighted in a listed event at Cork and needs to improve. La Spezia retrurns to Britain afrer an unsuccessful attempt to win an Italian Group 3 from the front. She can expect to be taken on by Majounes Song, who is yet to fully convince over this afternoon's trip. Of the remainder, Hanging On could have plausible place claims on the basis of her Cheshire Oaks form although she did not exactly set the pulses racing last time out. Turbo Linn looks a cut above these and can win if last week's race has not taken too much out of her.
