RAINBOW STORM appears to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and he is worth chancing now pitched into one off what looks a feasible opening mark. This step up in trip may be of benefit, too. Fellow handicap debutants Montys Medoc and Mr Katanga need a second look, but bigger threats may be posed by Galactic Power and Taunton-regular Tactical Manoeuvre.
