Black Rainbow is taken to shock Visibility and Oeil d'Estruval. The selection cannot be fancied on his most recent runs but this is his time of the season and provided his rider can secure a handy pitch, he should give a good account of himself at big odds. Visibility looked to appreciate the drop into selling grade and has preformed well at non-selling grade since. The grey is coming down the handicap but might need more help. Oeil D'Estruval was well backed ahead of his most recent effort at Wetherby and cannot be ruled out off a feather weight. Corso Palladio is sure to have his supporters while San Antonio hails from an in-form yard. A trappy affair and at big odds, Black Rainbow is chanced.
