RHYTHM IS A DANCER probably didn't beat much here latest but he landed the C&D event quite comfortably and he looks the one to beat for Paul Nicholls who boasts an impressive 33 per-cent strike rate here over the last five seasons. Stylish Moment was a little disappointing at Hereford but can't be ruled out just yet after showing promise previously. The Brothers is another on the shortlist after a slightly improved effort last time.
