Verdict
RAINBOW MIST made a winning start at Thirsk when making all to score by four lengths. Anne Duffield’s colt is penalised for that success may still have enough to get the better of Godolphin’s Top Score, a well beaten third at Newmarket a fortnight ago. Newcomers to note include the 90,000 Euros purchase Montataire, the Fahey representative Geego and Mr C, a half-brother to a couple to winning sprinters.
