Highland Love can confirm his superiority over Natural Rhythm on these terms. Maha Dubai and Jemima's Art are others to bear in mind. The last named ran away with a lads race at Newcastle last time out and has to be considered whilst in such obvious good heart. However, she is 5lb wrong at the weights and needs everything to fall into place for her. Maha Dubai is well weighted for her second start in a handicap and, from a beneficial low draw, has to merit respect. Mark Johnston's filly had plenty of options open to her this week, so she is one to note if she makes a quick reappearance after this. Natural Rhythm has been in great form this season and takes his racing well. Still, he was brushed aside by the selection when they met at Chester in June and, as Highland Love appears to have more scope for improvement, this appears to be a solid chance for Jedd O¿Keefe¿s gelding to pick up the winning thread again.
