Pyrenean Music was placed a couple of times last year and should be all the better for his run behind Rigoletta at Dundalk, though this will be just his second start on Turf. Jumbo Prado would be a factor if recapturing his best form and Slipper Orchid has already gone close a couple of times, though no excuses were offered for a shocking run when fancied at Tipperary last month. MUNTASAF is by Acclamation so is likely to have some ability and Dermot Weld is starting him off at a realistic level here. He gets the nod.
