In depth
Verdict
Already twice a winner on Polytrack, Rhubarb Bikini won’t be far away again if taking to Tapeta as he was going away at the finish at Chelmsford last time. He is 6lb higher, however, and is giving that amount to AMAYSMONT. Richard Fahey’s charge was also staying on over a mile at Newcastle last month so is another who will be suited by the extra yardage. Godolphin’s Electrical Storm has placed in five of his seven career starts and should find a race in the coming months if he continues to slip down the weights.
