SAMANTHA JONES returned from a break to finish a good second in a big field at Cork. She's gone up a further 2lb since but Brian Cawley's claim will aid her cause and she's sure to take all the beating. Ffos Las third Rayhani may be better over 2m but the consistent Pennys Tune is effective over this trip and has place claims again. Corr Point, second at Down Royal on Friday, should also be thereabouts and makes more appeal than Schelm and Brave Soldier. Dusty Trail won a claimer at Tramore on the Flat last month but has been lightly campaigned over hurdles in recent years.
