Not a race to be breaking the speed limit for but we'll chance SOCIAL RHYTHM with Personify and The Grey One as the plausible alternatives. Social Rhythm has a fair jockey booked in Neil Brown. She was frustrating a while back with seconditis but off a mark of 51, the handicapper is playing his part though not without good reason to do so. Personify is a regular in low grade fair. He did at least get his head infront at Great Leighs a couple of weeks ago. The Grey One made light of a drop in trip to oblige at Kempton Park. On the negative, he is yet to win at this track. Lady Aspen makes a return from a long absence. Scutch Mill is better known as a hurdler and has been kept busy in that discipline over the summer. Oeuf A La Neige is on a very long losing run whilst Karate King, who had been off the track for some time prior to her most recent outing, is one to note in the market if any support is seen. A race that is a seller in all but name and Social Rhythm is our reluctant call. (Ian Brindle)
