DIVINE RHYTHM 2/1
A hard race to weigh up with most of these unexposed, so the yard and the booking count for more than the form book.
DIVINE RHYTHM gets the vote at 2/1 for William Haggas, ridden by Tom Marquand. William Haggas is running at 30% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.
The dangers are LIBERTY'S HALL at 4/1 and NOSTALGIC WARRIOR at 4/1.
