Verdict
Winning pointer Get Rhythm only found one too good in a Southwell bumper last month but Paddy Brennan prefers stablemate Dexcite, who disappointed when a hot favourite at Fakenham in February but boasted decent form previously at a higher level. Beau Du Brizais and Brandenburg Gate are likely improvers now going hurdling while Matchaway won a bumper at Bangor in December and has yet to finish out of the frame. THE UNIT was only beaten a neck at Huntingdon in January and a short-head at Doncaster a month later. He is the one to beat in this if getting luck in-running.
