Simple Rhythm is back on a winning mark now and it showed at Kempton last week where she was only beaten a length by Chantilly Jewel. EVEY P was a further length behind in fifth having made up plenty of ground in the closing stages under her apprentice. With that experience under her belt and George Baker taking over the reins, Gary Brown's unexposed filly looks capable of opening her account here. Far View will need to improve again carrying a penalty for his first win when successful at Lingfield last week, but Metropolitan Chief looks a threat back over this C&D.
