Verdict

Lagenda bids for a hat-trick of course wins raised a further 6lb having won a couple of lower grade contests. But DONELLY’S RAINBOW has now won three times this year having landed a tougher race than this at Ayr last time and Rebecca Bastiman’s charge is taken to defy a 4lb rise. La Sioux can figure back at this level while Home Before Dusk won at Newcastle last month and has gone close at the same track the last twice including when beaten a neck on Friday. How Bizarre finished in front of Whatwouldyouknow when runner-up over a longer trip here earlier.
