Rainy Night has a clear chance after only just being denied off this mark over course and distance last time but he is still weighted to be inferior to Tislaam based on their last meeting. The latter doesn't win all that often and is hard to catch right so a safer bet would appear to be FOREVER'S GIRL. The filly is clearly running well and was only just held when trying to follow up on a course and distance success and off the same mark on a course she loves she might be hard to beat.
