Well held in 3 qualifying runs around 2m but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition now handicapping over further. Market support interesting.

Fair form on Flat for John Joseph Murphy in Ireland. Initial efforts in this sphere were low key but upped his game when third on handicap debut at Bangor in April. Not so good both starts since and needs to get back on track after an 8-month absence.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but stepped up on recent run when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft, 7/1) 27 days ago, finishing to good effect. Has to enter calculations.

Dead-heated for first on her sole start in Irish points, but has shaped with no encouragement on all 4 starts over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut.

Forecasts

Royal Rhythm (2/1), Prince Nino (10/3), Tommy Johnson (5/1), Silverbridge (15/2), Kauto D'Amour (8/1), Perfect Arch (11/1), Farmer Jimmy (12/1), Windsor Wife (20/1)

Verdict

ROYAL RHYTHM has unquestionably been disappointing so far this season, but he's been given a major chance by the handicapper as a result and is taken to revive. Prince Nino can give another good account, while Farmer Jimmy could prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip.
