A tight handicap with plenty of pace on paper and that won't inconvenience RHYTHM KING who won consecutive handicaps at Galway and Curragh last autumn and his encouraging sixth at Galway after a 4-month absence suggests he retains all his ability. He's preferred to Merisi Diamond who won this race last year but has a wider draw to overcome, while Apache Outlaw remains on a handy mark if building on his recent fourth. Earls won this race in 2022 and is well-treated if he can bounce back to form.
