The consistent Keltic Rhythm has gone well fresh in the past so an absence since May is not a concern and he goes on the short-list. Kim Bailey can get one ready at home so Irish import Didntitellya is worth a market check. Road To Freedom and Muckle Roe have already won this autumn, though the latter took a crashing fall at Stratford last time and that may have left its mark. The handicapper is showing SHOCKINGTIMES no mercy but Jamie Snowden's charge ran another fine race behind the well-treated Dartford Warbler at Market Rasen last month and it could be his turn today, despite a 2lb higher mark.
