FormscanBy Michael Graham - The 118-rated RHYTHM DIVINE ought to take the beating. Tom Gibney's mare was runner-up to Great White Shark in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in April last year, before filling the same berth in Listed company at Punchestown the following month. She picked up another couple of places in maiden hurdles in December, before being moved up in class. She still had her chance in third when falling in a Grade B mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, and then was unplaced when last seen in a Grade 2 at this year's Cheltenham Festival. Her form gives her every chance of making the breakthrough over flights in this assignment. What Wonders Weave has to be considered after a neck second to the favourite in Ballinrobe last month, however, she was due to run on the Flat in Tipperary on Friday evening. Gordon Elliott's Escort'namix was a beaten favourite in her last two starts, but the trainer's fantastic record at this venue entitles her to plenty of respect. Jelona is making her hurdling debut and should be monitored for market confidence.
