Verdict
Perfect Rhythm has won twice on Polytrack recently but may be vulnerable back on Turf off a higher mark. Golden Bird was beaten in a seller last time but still makes more appeal than stablemate Saint Lucy. Santayana and Ninepointsixthree must have some sort of chance in a race like this from the foot of the weights but ORATORIO'S JOY might be the one to beat given she's been keeping better company since scoring off a 5lb higher mark at Wolverhampton in June.
