Rainbows Edge is given the nomination ahead of Jupiter Girl and Chronomatic. Roger Charlton's charge made light of her rivals in a maiden at Haydock and while the going has to be of some concern, she gave the impression of being progressive enough to cope in handicaps. Juniper Girl has had a run of seconds that have not been helped by a tendancy to hang under pressure. Chronomatic landed a gamble on the all-weather at Lingfield but has disappointed on the turf. This is not a strong race and he does have the edge of experience. Sybella is still open to improvement and the In The Wings filly could have chances if consenting to settle for her rider. Free To Air has not gone on from early promise shown this season. Moon Shadow has been done few favours by the handicapper and needs to improve quickly. Rainbows Edge is given the vote.
