Verdict

Course and distance winner Foreign Rhythm is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort at Southwell last week. Shirley's Pride continues to rise in the weights without winning and found one too good again at Lingfield last month while Beau Mistral is 4lb higher than when scoring here in September, but can go close with a couple of recent runs under her belt. BE LUCKY returns to action having opened her account over the minimum trip at Beverley in August. She beat a subsequent dual winner so the form looks solid enough so Mick Easterby's filly gets the nod.
