Karibana’s earlier double came over a mile here but RHYTHM MASTER (NAP) scored over track and trip on his first outing since being gelded. That was also his first start since April so there should be more to come from James Horton’s charge. Ryan Moore was on board Red Mirage when the latter won here back in April while Royal Parade landed the odds at Yarmouth recently and is back up in distance for his handicap debut. Tiger Crusade and Above are others returning to 7f.
