        Verdict

        Reggae Rhythm makes a quick reappearance and is taken to go one better, with Little Richard, My Legal Eagle and The Beduth Navi seen as the main dangers. Reggae Rhythm has been around a long, long time, but has yet to win on these shores, having scored three times in his native Ireland. He has been in action over hurdles and fences in the past, but posted an eye-catching effort over today's course and distance just three days ago when a close second to French Mannequin. That was a pleasing performance on what was his first outing in 290 days, and his first for new connections. If he can build on that, the veteran can gain an overdue success on the Flat. Little Richard has been improving steadily and it was no surprise when he came good here last week. That was over a mile and a half though, and he seems a hard ride. My Legal Eagle needed his first run in eight months here last week and this prolific winning stayer on Turf should pick up over the next few weeks. The Beduth Navi was successful here this time last year in a bad maiden but has failed to repeat the feat. This weak affair can see the veteran Reggae Rhythm come out on top.
