Nacho Libre is back to his last winning mark but is bang out of form whilst the last time Simple Rhythm won was on the artificial Polytrack at Kempton. Both could put in a better run today to get involved but a likely challenge will come from George Baker's Romantic Queen who is something of an all-weather specialist with some decent efforts in sellers and claimers here and winning two starts ago. She is respected as is Replicator who was a winner over course and distance when last seen here. CAVITIE receives the nomination after a narrow win and a narrow loss to Fantasy Fighter here in his two most recent starts, but Ashley Morgan has a dreadful record at the course and if the jockey capitulates then the relatively unexposed Mary's Pet is ready to take advantage. Her sole win was over this trip here and is strongly expected to challenge. However, Cavitie gets the tentative call.
