Evening Rain has been knocking on the door and Saeed bin Suroor puts up a 5lb claimer in a bid to see his charge get off the mark. RUSSIAN HEROINE must go well having only being beaten a nose off this mark at Pontefract. She's preferred to Gold Waltz, who has taken well to the Polytrack having won here and finished second at Kempton on her last two starts. Koptoon got off the mark at Kempton last month but had to be dropped in grade to do so while the potentially well-treated Yorkie Talkie is not likely to come into his own until tackling longer distances next season.
