Beethoven to hit the right note

ROl'OVER BEETHOVEN, given kid-glove treatment on his debut by Kieren Fallon, can land the nap in the Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Maiden at Tipperary tonight.

The son of the brilliant Mozart was easy to back at Leopardstown last month and the market got it right, as he finished third of six behind Dermot Weld's heavily-supported Sapphire Storm.

Essentially, that race was a bit of a farce with little pace on for most of the journey and the time woefully slow.
