Voodoo Doll is consistent enough and Earlofthecotswolds has a good strike-rate but has been raised 8lb since scoring at Market Rasen earlier this month. RHYTHM IS A DANCER was quickly pulled up at Kempton on Saturday but the fact that he’s making a quick reappearance suggests nothing amiss has come to light. He looked a promising novice at the end of last year and it’s probably too soon to write him off. Mon Port has been disappointing in three runs since winning a maiden last May and may be best watched until showing signs of a revival.
