SOCIAL RHYTHM gets the vote bringing the best form in to the race. She has won twice in her last three starts and despite being penalised 12lb for her back-to-back victories still managed third in a more difficult race at Musselburgh last time. Social Rhythm receives the straightforward nomination. Wood Fair didn't seem to appreciate the increase in trip and cut in the ground last time, but has the advantage at the bottom of the weights and has what look her ideal conditions. However, she has a lot to find against the opposition. The chief dangers include Osgood, trained by Mick Channon, who has perhaps been unlucky not to shed his maiden tag in fourteen starts and Cool Baranca who won over course and distance this time last year with similar going.
