This could rest between handicap newcomers GEMMARI and Gray Rainbow. The latter looks certain to appreciate tonight's extra distance but the selection can provide his owner with yet another win from their likeable mare Gravitation.[Andrew Cooper]

His only run of note was when beaten 4l into sixth at Wolverhampton in November but switch to handicaps will help, as should going beyond 8.6f for the first time (dam stayed this trip and further).
Short head away from making winning nursery debut at 22-1 last month (9.4f, Wolverhampton); form has a bit of substance but he's 2lb higher and is up against a couple of interesting handicap debutants this time.
Improver, from low base, in novice/maiden company; connections have done very well out of his dam and this one looks the type to really step up now switched to handicaps.
Similar form, in RPR terms, in trio of 1m novice/maiden contests; her breeding strongly suggests middle distances, at least, are within range, the fitting of cheekpieces could give her a lift and this 0-60 handicap looks winnable; key player.
Finished two places behind Rosco Rogers at Wolverhampton (9.4f) before bumping into a couple of nice types for the grade over the same C&D on Saturday; probably needs new trip to bring out more.
Second either side of finishing behind Rosco Rogers and Abstract Art at Wolverhampton; main concern is how he'll settle going beyond 1m2f for the first time in new headgear (cheekpieces replace blinkers).
Soundly beaten all four starts at up to 8.6f; has a lot of ground to make up on No Release from their Chelmsford clash 34 days ago, where cheekpieces were introduced.
Bit more competitive, but proved disappointing given he was sent off 11-4 and 100-30, since upped in trip and handicapping; visor, introduced last time, retained.
