      Verdict

      Yarmouth winner Simple Rhythm finished behind Pharoh Jake over today's C&D last month and his penalty means he is 3lb worse off today. The former was also beaten by IMAGINARY DIVA here a year ago and George Margarson's mare likes a bit of give in the ground. She can come out on top today though Funcheon Vale is lightly raced and possibly still improving judged on her second at Bath where she was tackling 5f for the first time. Chicarito is often placed but is still a maiden after 11 starts and finished last on his latest start.
