Verdict
Old timer Cape Royal was only beaten half-a-length the last time he raced at this level and will no doubt try and make all again but he may find RED RHYTHM too strong in the closing stages. David Evans' five-year-old was only beaten a nose at Chepstow last time after winning over today's C&D earlier and appears in good heart at present. My Meteor is fancied to confirm recent C&D running with Spic 'n Span on only a pound worse terms and can also get the better of the other Ron Harris runners, Ficelle and Decider, while Ishiamiracle may need this after a break.
