Donnelly's Rainbow is a previous course and distance winner but so is TOMMY G, who is flying at present as is his yard who won the big one at Newcastle on Saturday. Apprentice Harry Russell has struck up a good understanding with the eight-year-old and takes off a valuable 5lb again. Asdaa wasn’t beaten far off this mark at Kempton two runs ago but then disappointed at Newmarket. Business has yet to show much on Turf but Pontefract winner Ventura Rascal continued his upward curve at Thirsk and rates a threat.
