Verdict
RHYTHM MASTER’s third in the Prix Morny, well ahead of Cairn Gorm, is easily the best form on offer in this as the two that finished ahead of him were previous Group 2 winners. Devilwala finished second in the Gimcrack after winning at Haydock and looks a nice prospect and Bahrain Pride is 2-2 having won a Listed race at Ripon last time. Alkumait, Fivethousandtoone and First Edition also have scope and Line Of Departure is a tough juvenile who is on a four-timer and deserves a crack at Pattern race company.
