HES OUR MUSIC has become standing dish around here and has won over a variety of distances. He scored over track and trip earlier this month, when First In The Queue was fourth, after travelling strongly throughout and, with Conor Hoban again taking off 3lb, is fancied to see off the challenge of three-year-old Gold Focus. Jim Bolger's filly may be better over further but still has scope on this surface. Ned's Indian has been running well without winning and Johann Bach and High Net Worth are other course and distance winners worthy of a mention but Catchy Lass may be too high in the weights.
