Verdict
Natural Rhythm went close last time out at Chester and is fancied to gain a deserved success tonight; Casino Night and Marie Camargo make it to the shortlist. Only one win in 32 starts doesn't make good reading but he ran his best race for some time recently at the Roodee. His previous second at the track to handicap blot Wilkandoo wasn't a bad effort and he is fancied to get his head back in front. Noche De Reyes and Jordi Roper need respect on their handicap debuts, whilst Ace Of Spies is a frustrating and decidedly average maiden. Champagne Lawn tries a visor, whilst Safari Dancer tries the blinkers for the first time. Marie Camargo is also a maiden but she has shown a tiny semblance of ability, whilst Casino Night is a fairly game front-runner whose next day in the sun may not be too far away. A poor ending to a distinctly average card, but it is Natural Rhythm who can lead them home.
