4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. That was an excellent training performance having been off 19 months and there should be more to come back over 7f.
|
C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit but others still more persuasive.
|
16/1, last of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 12 days ago, missing break. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers/tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive, with tardy starts becoming an increasing concern.
|
Course winner. Cheekpieces on for first time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 25 days ago. That was a shade more encouraging and he's now below his last winning mark.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in novice event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/1) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark demands more.
|
Course winner. Latest win here in January. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly on runner-up at this venue efforts prior to that.
|
Latest win at Lingfield in December. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8f) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and top apprentice booked.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 9/2) 19 days ago, despite hanging under pressure. Cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form.
|
Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 22 days ago, missing break but sticking to his task. Well worth another go at 7f and he's interesting.
|
Latest win at Southwell in February. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account.
|
3/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 36 days ago. Visor the headgear of choice this time and he's on his last winning mark.
|
C&D winner. 50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm) 12 days ago.

With Respect (10/3), My Mate Ted (10/3), Ibn Aldar (4/1), Ikkari (7/1), Sandy Paradise (15/2), Rich Rhythm (8/1), King of The Dance (8/1), Calonne (9/1), Airshow (14/1), Broxi (20/1), Dynamic Talent (28/1), Sisters In The Sky (33/1), Profit Given (33/1), Impeach (80/1)
RICH RHYTHM made up plenty of ground having blown the start over 6f at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and there was enough promise in that effort to recommend him this time back over 7f. There's plenty of depth to this, though, with Ibn Aldar and Calonne a couple of potential threats.
- Rich Rhythm8/1
- Ibn Aldar4/1
- Calonne9/1
