The one who stands out is top weight RAINBOWS EDGE, who showed smart form on just her fourth career start when winning a C&D handicap in good style on her reappearance and, with that form proving strong, she looks more than capable of defying a 5 lb higher mark. Arisaig chased home the selection last time and is fancied to do so again, while Rockymountainway looks interesting stepping up to 1m given how she kept on behind a well-treated rival at Kempton on her most recent outing.
