Music To My Ears didn't quite get the run of the race when just failing to catch the smart Sonaiyla at the Curragh after winning there earlier. She's been raised 5lb but she could progress into Pattern company. FRENCH RAIN (NAP) was another who came from a long way back in that race and wasn't beaten far. She'll be 15lb better off taking Sam Ewing's claim into account and looks the one to be on. Pearls Galore made a dream start for Paddy Twomey after arriving from France, easily landing a Limerick maiden, while Jessica Harrington's pair of recent maiden winners Rocket Science and Maud Gonne Spirit are also on the upgrade. Bestrella scored over this trip at Dundalk then found an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe just too far so she's respected. Lady Scathach was in superb form before heading to Galway where she was well supported. However, she got no sort of run in the straight and has to be on the shortlist despite racing from a 5lb higher mark.
