Verdict

Sam's Adventure was placed twice here before getting off the mark at Newcastle but quicker going would be a concern. RHYTHM IS A DANCER steps up in distance but beat a subsequent winner last time at Ludlow and should be thereabouts if he stays as he appears to hold Myplaceatmidnight on their run together at Wincanton over Christmas. Senior Citizen and Before Midnight were both well beaten last time at Sandown but the latter saw too much daylight and is capable of better. Aye Right has no stamina concerns and has already won around here so could give the locals something to cheer.
