The pin is blindly speared into the bowl of official ratings in this claimer and has harpooned the Denis Feek-trained Regulated, with Rainbow World and Celtic Star suggested as his biggest dangers. Feek is gradually making a name for himself in the training ranks and Regulated's two wins from his last four runs have helped in this respect. His most-recent victory came in a seller seven days ago but he looks well up to taking his chance in this grade. Of the others, Rainbow World has chances if getting back to his Irish maiden form of last summer, and Celtic Star has won two of his last three Flat races, the latest being last August and he has won over hurdles since. They could go both well but, in truth, most of the others are little better than plating class, although Fox Hollow and Another Con maybe have better to come on Turf. For today, though, Regulated looks to have a much better chance of winning than most of his opponents.
