Verdict
Rain God never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Brighton last time and LIGHT ROSE makes more appeal. The latter won at Lingfield before going close again at Kempton on her latest start and Chris Meehan's allowance could give her the edge in this. Elusive Ellen and Quinta Feira were both well beaten last time having won their penultimate outings while Exceeding Power and Cincuenta Pasos have something to find with the selection on latest running. Perfect Mission has won twice before over track and trip but was tailed off in an amateurs' race here last time.
