COSMIC RAY gets nearer with every start and wasn't beaten far when third at Chester a fortnight ago. Any further progress should see him get the better of Red Touch, beaten only a nose over 6f at Kempton back in May. Elis Eliz finished ahead of Hard To Handel when beaten a length over 6f here last time while Tamarin is no doubt capable of better than she's shown so far. Rainbow Pride is an early Derby entry and longer distances will suit in time.
