Verdict

The vote goes to RAINBOW FIRE, who landed a useful Haydock handicap during the spring and while he has failed to reproduce that level of form in two subsequent starts, the 5-y-o is interesting now moving back up to a mile. Positive Impact will be a big threat if on-song and he is feared most ahead of Empirestateofmind and Perotto. Consideration should also be given to Escobar, who is now 5 lb lower than for his success in a major handicap here in 2022.
