2.00 PARIS DIXIE; 2.75 CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM (IRE); 6.00 STRIKE HOLLOW; 6.50 KINGSPLACE (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
Champagne Rhythm has finished on the podium over track and trip in his last three outings and is likely to be thereabouts at the finish. However, it'll be interesting to see if a wind operation returns PARIS DIXIE to her best here. She was a touch disappointing in a competitive Newbury event last time, but before that offered plenty of encouragement when second over course and distance on her hurdles bow. The winner of that contest went on to place in a Grade 2 next time to give the form a decent look. Kingsplace has plenty of experience to call on and is respected, with Strike Hollow and Gulliver Collonges others with possibilities.
