Verdict

A competitive field goes to post for this seller and the principals look to be Rainbow Dance, Strictly Speaking and Contemporary Art and we will take a chance on Rainbow Dance. The seven year old from the Johnjo O'Niel yard has been disappointing of late over fences as he has been let down by his jumping but now that he is dropped in grade and switched back to hurdles he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Strictly Speaking rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Zygomatic last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Contemporary Art would have a chance on his best form but he has been pulled up on his last two runs so for that reason he is opposed here. Of the remainder Modem could also go well but he is still a maiden over hurdles so the confident vote goes to Rainbow Dance.
