Keltic Rhythm beat Venetian Lad over course and distance in March but Lydia Richards' course specialist is 4lb better off today and may turn the tables. Mighty Mobb has been knocking on the door while Addiction is starting to look well treated and Requin is thrown in on his old form. He's also gone well here in the past, though recent efforts have been disappointing. QIANSHAN LEADER was only beaten a neck off today's mark when last appearing at this level. Blinkers are applied today and he could be the one to beat if the headgear has the desired effect.
