FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The James Barcoe-trained RAIN catches the eye here having not enjoyed the clearest of passages when fourth at this track last time. Once seeing daylight over a furlong out, the daughter of Sea The Moon finished out her race very strongly. A former winner in France, the mare has yet to get off the mark in this country but it could be significant that she has twice reached the frame here. Paradise Lost has long given the impression that he is well treated on the level but has to date failed to get his head in front. Off a mark of 62 the Charles O'Brien-trained gelding has to be competitive. Recent Sligo runner-up Glyde Ranger found one too good at the western track but ran a very solid race upon which he can build.
