BAY HILL won this a year ago and has since been performing on the Fat and over fences. He's been running well enough to complete a double with his rider's claim a bonus. Rhythm Divine has always shown ability and finally realised it with a comfortable victory in a Downpatrick maiden. There should be more to come and she should get into contention along with Humm Baby, who was having her first start since September when placed at Cork. The Caddy Rose scored over fences at Kilbeggan and reverts to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark while The King Of Brega, a six-times winner over hurdles, ran his best race for a very long time at Downpatrick earlier in the month. Rasiym's Kilbeggan victory came over 2m and he's now 10lb higher but Kilkeaskins First is a lively outsider having led for a long way at Sligo, his first start since May last year.
