Storm Home and Rhythm Is A Dancer are both bidding to complete a hat-trick. The latter has won around here in the past but the former may handle this quicker going just the better. UMNDENI unseated his rider on his chasing bow but has since found some form over hurdles and, receiving plenty of weight, could be the answer to this with a clear round. Organdi has been struggling for a while.
