An open contest where the answer may be SOCIAL RHYTHM. The Alastair Whillans-trained pick has taken her time to come good this season, putting up her best effort so far over 1m 1f at Musselburgh last time. She remains effective at this trip, having a course and distance success to her name, and she might just have enough from a mark of 57. Abu Dubai looks handicapped to the hilt, while Bellewstown winner Toberogan has not managed to replicate that effort since switching to racing this side of the Irish Sea. Crocodile Bay should be on the premises if capable of some consistency, which has been a problem, and a bigger danger looks to be Red Skipper, though again his form can be in-and-out. Social Rhythm is taken to score. (Jonathan Doidge)
