FINAL RHAPSODY is the only competitor in the field with recent winning form having scored over 6f at Bath in October. She gave the impression this extra furlong would suit when staying on for fourth here last time and gets the nod to return to winning ways. Song Of Praise could figure on the pick of her form and the same applies to Fine Ruler. Strategic Mover has slipped down the weights but is returning from a lengthy absence.
