In depth
Verdict
Natural Rhythm, Colleoni and Foreland Sands make most appeal in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Natural Rhythm. The selection is eased in grade today and he holds solid claims as he was far from disgraced when finishing in mid-division in a handicap at Redcar last time. He goes on the ground and he looks the percentage call. Colleoni has showed promise in three maidens and he remains open to plenty of improvement so it would be no surprise to see him get competitive tonight. Foreland Sands went close in a claimer at Lingfield last time and he should again be capable of getting competitive, but he has never won a race so he can't be backed with maximum confidence. One Called Alice is pretty consistent but she does have her limitations and she is likely to find a couple too good. This is a poor race and we will side with Natural Rhythm as the pick.
