He's Got Rhythm isn't the most consistent of performers but won this from a 6lb higher mark in 2010 and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. David Marnane also runs Maundy Money, a regular winner on Turf but yet to strike on an artificial surface in nine starts. Patrickswell has a similar profile having won nine races but is still a maiden away from Turf. Grand Opera is the other C&D winner in the line-up but that was back in 2008 and he's a jumper nowadays. Nina Carberry is on board SOLENT RIDGE and Ger Lyons' charge can end a long losing run as he's dropped in the weights accordingly and showed more promise at the Curragh on Sunday.
