Distant Sun beat Hadrians Rule over C&D last month and is up 5lb for that while On The High Tops was a well beaten third in soft ground last time having won at Catterick earlier. FOREIGN RHYTHM showed a bit more when runner-up at Newcastle recently and back on a winning mark, it could be her turn today. Beverley winner Pavers Star has been in good form on faster going and Angelo Poliziano went close in an amateurs race on his latest start which may herald a return to form here.
