FormscanBy Alan Magee - RHYTHMIC TUNE seemed to appreciate cut in the ground when opening his account over course and distance in October and may follow up off a 7lb higher mark. The Mark Molloy-trained gelding beat Gaelic Des Chastys by two lengths and hopefully he can handle this more testing surface. Great Island has recorded both career wins on heavy ground and had a couple of these rivals behind when successful at Clonmel last time, while Warmer Days Ahead won over a similar trip at Roscommon last year and made a pleasing return after a lengthy absence when third at Punchestown earlier this month. Wakey Wakey Man and Opposite Ends are others to note.
