In depth
Verdict
Reggae Rhythm is taken to score with Kitmat, Baron Aron and Veridian the main dangers in a poor contest. The selection showed improved form last time when second at Carlisle behind Young Chevalier. The third from that race has since franked the form and under similar conditions he'll be hard to beat. Veridian would have a chance on his best form but he has become very disappointing over hurdles of late and his best efforts have come on much faster ground so he cannot be backed with any confidence. Baron Aron had every chance until falling behind Gemi Bed at Plumpton last time and if his confidence has not been effected he has definite place claims. Kitmat would have a chance on his best form but that has come over a much longer trip. He will be suited though by the softer surface so could go well, but in a race that throws up more questions than answers we will make Reggae Rhythm the nomination.
