All are capable of taking a hand but the pair to take the eye are Rainbow Orse and BONJOUR STEVE, first and third here when clashing in late May. There should be little between them, but the latter perhaps didn't get the run of the race that day and is a value option to overturn placings. He's subsequently finished a close third at Chepstow and will not be inconvenienced should conditions soften further. Course and distance winner, Flash City, was back to form when edged out at Thirsk and is respected on that evidence and Shackled N Drawn, another course and distance scorer, should be involved off a workable mark with Kieran Shoemark claiming a useful 3lb. Crosse Fire and Razin' Hell tend to reserve their best for the Fibresand of Southwell.
