Race preview
RHYTHM N HOOVES was making his first start since being readily outclassed in the Ayr Silver Cup when finishing an eye-catching fourth over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Robert Cowell's charge was doing his best work late on that day and, back up to 6f off an unchanged mark, he looks the one to be with. True Promise was last seen finishing third in a slightly deeper race over C&D recently, and he cannot be underestimated. Mondammej is respected most of the remainder.
