The market should present us with most clues and FOREST RHYTHM is the pick with Flexi Time and Give Me A Chance others to attract the eye. Seamus Mullins' charge is having his third run under rules but it is worth noting that the debut performance was in a much hotter event than this proports to be. Flexi Time won a bumper at Uttoxeter. He was probably handed the race by default after the second jinked badly at the rail close home. Give Me A Chance was easy to back on rules debut and might be better once sent over a longer trip. Broadcasting was well beaten on debut. Ballyvesey won a point in Ireland over three miles on bottomless going. Emmaslegend is a daughter of Midnight Legend so should find the trip ideal. Pearl Seeker is also in receipt of the fillies allowance but her mother has produced disappointing foals at the paddocks. Our Guardian Angel, who showed improved form in her second racecourse start, looks best of the rest. Forest Rhythm gets the nod.
