Rhythm Divine has shown promise in both starts to date under Rules. Another filly, Dona Katharina, is showing gradual improvement and Gordon Elliott also run the Jeremy newcomer Arion Sky, the first foal to race of a winning hurdler/chaser. Brian Hughes partners debutant Nothing Man for Stuart Crawford while Ruth Jefferson is represented by the once-raced Bally Conor and Lemon T. HOLME ABBEY is having a first run but he’s by prolific NH sire Fair Mix and his stable has a terrific strike-rate here with its bumper entries.
