Verdict

GET RHYTHM remains unexposed over fences and he can register his second victory in four starts in this sphere by taking this concluding race on the card on his return from a break. The soft ground forecast today should suit Tom George's charge and he can get the better of last years winner Imperial Presence who is another returning from a break. Big Jim was narrowly beaten last time and he can finish third today.
