RICH RHYTHM made a promising start to life in handicaps when fourth at Kempton despite not enjoying the rub of the green and Ralph Beckett's lightly-raced 3-y-o can go in off an unchanged mark here. Rhythm rates an obvious threat able to race off the same mark as when scoring recently at Newcastle while C&D scorers Run This Way and Round The Island (also landed this event in 2020) need shortlisting too.
