Ran to form when appreciating a stiff test at the trip to land a handicap hurdle by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time. Effective at 2m; recent form looks strong and generally consistent, with scope to get a bit further so this test could suit.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on soft ground. A winner at 10-1 in a hurdle race at Windsor over 2m (soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Wilful by 2 3/4l. Carries a 5lb penalty today for that success.

Won by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Ascot two starts ago. Ran to form up in class when second, beaten 1 1/2l, despite racing keenly, off 120 last time. Suited by 2m on a sound surface and remains on a fair mark. Usually runs his race and can make presence felt.
He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 2f on good and soft ground. Beaten 1 1/2l by All In You when second of 8 at 3-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Sandown over 2m (good) last month.

Verdict
Let It Rain caught the eye on her handicap debut when returning at Ascot just before Christmas and shaping as though she would improve plenty for the outing. She can reverse placings with Dance And Glance (winner) and All In You (second), with the pair having backed that form up when the latter gained his revenge at Sandown a fortnight later, but the vote goes to UN SENS A LA VIE. Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies' charge follows a tried and tested route, with all three of the yard's previous winners having been novices, and the six-year-old, who chased home the exciting Old Park Star on his penultimate start at Kempton, may well be fairly treated off a mark of 130. Tutti Quanti won the Gerry Feilden over C&D and commands respect along with Lanesborough, who finished fifth in the Lanzarote.
Expert View Verdict
Dan Skelton holds a strong hand here and it is LET IT RAIN at the top of the market who makes most appeal. She was left poorly placed after a bad late error on her handicap debut where she conceded a huge fitness edge but was still only narrowly out-battled late by Dance And Glance and All In You. She has been kept fresh since and her mark protected unlike her re-opposing rivals so the unexposed mare is fancied to gain some compensation. Lanesborough looked a long way ahead of his mark when winning on his penultimate start at a similar track to this. He had his stamina limitations exposed in the Lanzarote last time but back down in trip he should travel strongly off a likely fast pace and can gain a place. Bubble Dubi overcame a long absence on his sole start this term and although he had the run of the race with hurdles removed the form of that contest has been franked emphatically. He's gone up 9lb but should improve for the run and looks a huge threat. At a bigger price veteran stablemate of the selection Faivoir could also run well dropped back to his optimum distance off a reduced mark.
