Thorpe Bay has been placed over 6f here on recent visits but Sarah Berry remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in October. BEACH RHYTHM has won over track and trip and came out best at Wolverhampton last time. He gets the vote to follow up as collateral form also gives him the beating of Jiminy. Coalburn has claims on his form in soft ground and Sophie's Beau can race off a lower mark than when winning at Catterick in August.
