RUSSIAN DIAMOND scored nicely in a bumper last time out and he can follow that up with victory in his opening attempt over hurdles where he is likely to make all. Rhythm Divine is 0-10 on the track, however, she has finished second in a Listed race so she should go close at this level, while Behind The Curtain has hit the frame on his last two appearances and can do the same once again.
