Poetic Rhythm is a former Grade 1 winner who is starting to look well treated. Tel'Art has been cracking form this summer, winning here and at Stratford. Western Rules will be all the better for his run at Market Rasen but, like Jacks Last Hope, is not getting any younger. YES NO MAYBE SO (NAP) trounced another progressive mare when stepped up to this trip at Uttoxeter. Though 10lb better off, it’s difficult to see third Justatenner reversing that form and Tom Lacey’s charge can complete the three-timer. Mason Jar is tried in blinkers but has run poorly in his two starts this season.
