        Verdict

        We like the look of Anna Pavlova here with both Under The Rainbow and Folk Opera worth noting. The selection won four listed races before going onto win a Group 2 at Longchamp at the Arc meeting in October. She was very progressive starting off the campaign in handicaps off a mark of 90. This race will be a nice introduction back before she steps up to Group company. Under the Rainbow has not won for over two years but has been highly tried in that time. She also has place form in listed events and was not discredited behind Promising Lead at York last time out. She is an above average filly who ought to be winning more races in time. Folk Opera is lightly raced with only four runs under her belt winning two of those. She is clearly going the right way and showed a real good turn of foot when winning a decent handicap at York last time out so is to be noted in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Anna Pavlova.
