Formscan - Fortunate Star has posted several creditable efforts in defeat since returning to handicap company and he should give another good account. However, the six-year-old may come up just short once more, with MISS RAINBOW edging the vote. Tracy Waggott's mare arrives on the back of a course third over 6f and a drop back in distance may prove fruitful. Tommy McJohn is also of interest on his stable bow for Adrian Keatley.
