Verdict
FOREIGN RHYTHM has been running well and deserves a change of luck. Ron Barr's mare is only a pound higher than when a close-up second at Newcastle two runs ago looks the one to beat in this finale. Gracie's Games has travelled up from Richard Price's Herefordshire base and hinted at a revival at Bath last time while half A Crown, Orwellian and Distant Sun all have to be respected. Top weight Secret City is also a contender but Bridge Valley is only moderate.
