Clan Music, a winner over 2m4f here in October, returned to form with a good fourth behind D's Trix at Cork on Friday and has no problems with the longer trip. Pistol Jack has been gradually improving over hurdles and followed a close second to Farmaland at Downpatrick with a narrow victory over 2m4f at Down Royal. He has an absence to overcome but can progress further now he's got his head in front. An Tarbh Donn disappointed when fancied at Fairyhouse last month and tackles this trip for the first time as does the long-time maiden Pay The Ferryman, who has some excellent form in similar company to her credit and may find the distance to her liking. HOOCHIE MAMA has no problem with the trip as she showed at Naas in March and her poor effort at Fairyhouse last time may have been due to the very heavy ground.
