Indian Music may have been a bit fortune to score at Tramore when the odds-on Linger fell at the last but he had Captain Cobajay 6l back in second and should confirm the form. The latter went up 5lb for his subsequent Wexford victory and made a bold bid to make all in a better race at Ballinrobe though the softer conditions could be a problem. My Manekineko was behind at Wexford and looks held but FATHER JED has been running well on good going but the last time he ran on soft ground in March he beat a big field of hurdlers at Gowran so has conditions will be in his favour.
