Race preview
DONNELLY'S RAINBOW cruised into contention before putting the race to bed in decisive fashion when a comfortable winner at Musselburgh earlier this month and Rebecca Bastiman's course-and-distance winner makes plenty of appeal looking to follow up under a 4lb penalty. Chinese Spirit was second on that occasion and has since been involved in the finish over the same track and trip a week later. Merricourt also carries a penalty having scored on the same card as the selection, while My Ukulele wasn't beaten far when third at Hamilton last month and won at this meeting last season.
