Formscan  - Placed on each of his last three starts, including over C&D last month, RAINWATER can be rewarded for his consistency on this occasion, with Warren Fentiman taking off a handy 7lb in the saddle. Not beaten too far at Wolverhampton last time out, Samra Star looks to be a key threat, along with Urban Sprawl, who has the potential to improve for going up in trip.
