Fast going suits RAINBOW HAZE, who took advantage of a tumbling mark at Worcester last month. The second franked the form over the weekend and, with Conor Orr again taking off 7lb, Phil Dando’s charge looks the one to beat as long as the rains stay away. Bay Fortuna should have benefited from a run at Huntingdon in April and is well treated on past form. Ice Konig has form around here while, further down the handicap, Sizing Sahara and Atlantic King probably have each-way claims. Dropzone hinted at a revival at Taunton last time but has a poor strike-rate.
