MUSIC OF TARA's second in a novice at Tipperary is the best piece of form on offer and, despite a 120-day turnaround, she looks the obvious one to go with. Pats Choice is the nearest danger on form but he's had plenty of chances, so it might be that So Scottish, who was much improved on his latest outing, could pose the main threat.
