      Verdict

      As a relatively unexposed staying handicapper from Mark Johnston’s yard, Rhythmical has to be respected, but the bare form he’s shown so far is less than impressive so it could be worth taking a chance on RONALD GEE. He hasn’t shown much in two outings so far this season, but is at his best at a mile and a half on fast going and is back on the same mark off which he won a similar race at York last autumn. Medina Sidonia is also on a feasible mark and can chase him home.
