RAINBOW TRAIL left his hurdles debut form well behind when chasing home one form the Willie Mullins yard in a big field at Naas last month. He is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Union Station, who has shaped well in a couple of maiden hurdles and he should pick up a race sooner rather than later. Well Dressed was behind Rainbow Trail at Naas but she's open to improvement and is likely to finish closer this time.
