Just the five runners but this is really competitive. Sizing Cusimano was only beaten a neck off this mark over 3m here on Friday while Thistle Do Nicely landed the odds at Worcester earlier this month. Rhythm Is A Dancer will likely improve again on a victory at Stratford but BACK ON THE LASH can bounce back to winning ways having score over track and trip before finding 3m2f on a return visit in handicap company.
