Hello Me had Anjella back in third when scoring in first-time headgear at Windsor and is 6lb higher while International Girl beat Iris Dancer at Hamilton and is raised 5lb. Deny Knowledge went close in a lower grade at Pontefract and can race off the same mark but RHYTHM makes most appeal. The latter signed off for Richard Hannon with a victory at Windsor in June and has plenty of scope for further improvement having subsequently joined Ruth Carr’s yard.
