Jo's Rainbow has been making quiet progress for the Skeltons and may take another step forwards up in trip with a tongue tie fitted but STATE OF HONOR is taken to build on her maiden success in a Fontwell handicap. Unpenalised for that victory, it was no more than she deserved after a good run at Uttoxeter and it is not the first time that she's shown promise as she was the likely winner when falling at the last on her handicap debut in 2023 (first two have made significant improvement over fences). It's taken her a while to get back from that but having done so, she is fancied to kick on.
CALAFRIO blotted her copybook at Goodwood but it's worth forgiving her the run on that downhill track in a stronger race. She'd been in good form prior to that, twice finishing second over this course and distance before winning an apprentice classified stakes under today's rider at the start of last month. Versatile with regard to conditions underfoot, she can give another good account.
A half-sister to the 98 rated Skukuza and Letaba, a dual winner once fitted with headgear; there should be more to come from CROCODILE RIVER as she gains experience and the fitting of cheekpieces may help her achieve that first, valuable victory. The switch to racing in a nursery showed her in a better light at Newbury last time and she can go well if building on that effort.
Oisin Murphy is a positive booking for the in-form Tom Clover with eight of his 17 rides for the yard finishing in the first two (three winners) and KENTO should give another good account. This nine race maiden has finished in the frame on five occasions but has taken his form up a notch since being fitted with blinkers, going close behind a subsequent winner last time; he can go one better.
