FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC%A0will be carrying the colours of Roscommon native Sean Mulryan and his wife Bernardine and Martin Brassil has probably had this race in mind for some time. The Kayf Tara gelding was eighth of 21 in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle won by Supreme%A0sixth Dark Raven at Christmas and the second, fourth, fifth and sixth have all won maidens since. Now fitted with a tongue-tie, fitness is no concern coming from this yard and the half-brother to Champion Chase winner Dodging Bullets will be hard to beat. Sherodan, a smooth winner of a bumper at Tipperary two years ago, is the other one to focus on. He clearly hasn't%A0 been straightforward to train%A0but made an encouraging return from a 21-month absence when second to a useful type on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. A premier handicap winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, Timourid has just a second run over hurdles here and may be better for the experience having departed early on his first try over flights at Ballinrobe two years ago.
