FormscanBy Mark Nunan - RHYTHMIC TUNE appreciated the step-up to 2m5f when winning at Limerick in October and probably found the ground too deep at the same venue over Christmas. He’s had a little pipe-opener on the level since and may be able to resume his progression as he goes further up in distance here. This trip holds no fears for Ishan and he has run well in both recent starts after returning from a year off. Point-to-point winner Forceonmyown may be suited by stepping up in trip for her second start in handicaps, while Better Times is up 6lb for his Downpatrick success. Top weight Rusty Harkness has bumped into some useful types in maidens and may not be overburdened here. %0A%0A
