Verdict
THAT'S RHYTHM was second to Salsify in the Champion Hunter Chase at this meeting last year and has won three of his four starts under Rules since. Sally Duckett has aimed her veteran at this lesser prize this time and he looks a class above his rivals. Rathcor finished behind Lady Myfanwy over a shorter trip here last year while Swift Counsel hasn't run under Rules for almost two years, though has won six of his eight starts between the flags. Recent points winner Description may be the pick of the remainder with Gina Andrews in the saddle.
