BIG GAME HUNTER is comfortably the pick on official ratings and should gain his second victory over timber. His only success came over today's trip at Clonmel in September and he's attempted further on both subsequent starts. Sounds Of Jupiter has been well beaten on his last two starts after landing a minor event at Limerick in January but Rory Anna found some improvement both on the Flat and over timber earlier this year and her allowance makes her a threat.
