Coltrane (6/4), Mr Curiosity (11/4), Island Brave (5/1), Rainbow Dreamer (8/1), Alignak (11/1), Nicholas T (14/1)

COLTRANE made a positive return over an inadequate trip at Kempton a month ago and, with this step up to 2m sure to suit, he's fancied to get the better of Rainbow Dreamer, who might not be quite so well tuned up returning from over 5 months off. Island Brave could put up a bold showing if allowed his own way in front.
