FormscanBy Alan Magee - RAINBOW TRAIL won a bumper on testing ground at Clonmel back in November and gets the vote to open his account over hurdles following a promising effort in a 25-runner Naas maiden last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding beat all bar the well-regarded Tounsivator, with Well Dressed about ten lengths behind in fourth. Union Station shaped well on debut when third to Tullyhill in a 25-runner 2m Naas maiden and was again placed on his only subsequent start over three furlongs extra last month. En Or won over 1m6f on the Flat at Fairyhouse last summer and also showed promise over hurdles at Punchestown. It’s best to put a line through his latest hurdle run at Down Royal last Sunday where he was pulled up early due to a slipped saddle.
