Verdict

A 4-time winner this season, VELVET RHYTHM has looked back at the top of her game on her last 2 starts and she can build on those efforts to add to her tally. The main danger could be Starlight Lass, who had excuses in her hat-trick bid last time, with Woohoo also in the mix.

4	Landed the odds in novice on the July Course (1m) making her second start, before following up in good style in another 3-runner contest at Yarmouth. Seemed unsuited by soft ground when well held on handicap debut at York's Ebor meeting (7f), so she's worth another chance. 2nd Pick 4 Starlight Lass Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: C. T. Keane T: John & Thady Gosden	96	-	-	-	34%	2/1

7	Scored at Musselburgh (5f) in April and racked up a sequence of 6 runner-up finishes in July/August, including over 7f at York's Ebor meeting. Good third at this course (6f) 9 days ago and she can be thereabouts once more back down in grade. 3rd Pick 7 Woohoo (Ire) Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Jim Goldie J: Marco Ghiani T: Jim Goldie	96	-	-	-	25%	3/1
