David Barron muddies the waters by fielding three with Poets Pride likely to be thereabouts once again and Esprit De Corps, threatening to win all season, sure to be happier returned to 7f. Either could prove good enough but DONNELLY'S RAINBOW has hit a rich vein of form and remains nicely treated off a mark of 63 - he seems to have developed a turn of foot lately. Insurplus and Yes You are players and it would be folly to ignore the claims of Twin Appeal despite the burden of top weight.
