      Verdict

      Rhythmic Intent ran well over a mile on his reappearance and duly went one better over a more suitable distance at York but the faster surface here would not be ideal. Mayfair Spirit has a good strike-rate and got back to winning ways at Windsor. He is only 4lb higher so could complete the double but cheekpieces may help ZUBA end a frustrating sequence with William Buick doing the steering. Make Haste Slowly is preferred to Natty Night of the remainder.
