Formscan - Let It Rain caught the eye on her handicap debut when returning at Ascot just before Christmas and shaping as though she would improve plenty for the outing. She can reverse placings with Dance And Glance (winner) and All In You (second), with the pair having backed that form up when the latter gained his revenge at Sandown a fortnight later, but the vote goes to UN SENS A LA VIE. Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies' charge follows a tried and tested route, with all three of the yard's previous winners having been novices, and the six-year-old, who chased home the exciting Old Park Star on his penultimate start at Kempton, may well be fairly treated off a mark of 130. Tutti Quanti won the Gerry Feilden over C&D and commands respect along with Lanesborough, who finished fifth in the Lanzarote.
