Wotashirtful, Sir George and Foreign Rhythm are the three to look at here, with Kevin Ryan's Wotashirtfull set to put his greater experience to good use and come out on top. Peter Chapple-Hyam's two year olds are always to be respected, and his Sir George was strongly fancied to make a winning bow at Yarmouth, but had to settle for second, outpaced in the closing stages. He may well improve, but at the likely cramped odds he is opposed. In contrast, Foreign Rhythm was not fancied on her debut at Haydock, but was only just touched off in the closing stages. She showed she handled testing conditions, but the form is hard to weigh up, and the feeling is that it may fall short of what is required here. Wotashirtfull has come across two Bryan Smart tartars in two starts to date, but on both occasions has acquitted himself well, finishing third twice. There may not be anything here of a similar quality, and Wotashirtfull can reward supporters at a nice price.
