Formscan  - Joolianoss was a revelation at the beginning of the year and it will be interesting to see how ready he is for this reappearance. In contrast, UNASSUMING was seen in action just last week, when pipped over 7f here. The return to a mile is very much in her favour and the decision to get her out again before her revised rating kicks in can pay dividends. Rainbow Nebula and First Ambition are just two others to consider in a competitive affair.
