Verdict
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM is expected to follow up on his recent win to score again at the expense of Turfani and Complete Frontline. The selection was a winner at Great Leighs recently for which he carries a six pound penalty. He had run well at Yarmouth on his penultimate outing showing his well being and connections are keen to get another run into him before the handicapper has a chance to assess him, so he therefore is the one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. Turfani caught the eye when second to Suzi Spends at Great Leighs last time out and if recapturing that form he has every chance of being in the shake up. Complete Frontline wears cheek pieces for the first time to entice his enthusiasm. He has run well in defeat this season but without ever looking like winning, but with the added head gear he should be monitored in the market. But for the winner we return to Circadian Rhythm.
