Joys Delight has run only once on Turf and has been struggling to get her head in front in modest company on the all-weather while Monsieur Jimmy has only ever won on Fibresand. Size Matters won over this trip at Ayr before a run at Southwell and Reinforced has to go on the short-list after a couple of seconds on rain-softened ground at Carlisle but narrow preference is for DONNELLY’S RAINBOW. Rebecca Bastiman’s charge has been quite lightly raced but attracted market support last time at Catterick and only found one too good. This looks a quick opportunity to recoup losses.
