In depth

Verdict

Tarrsille has been going very well since the fast ground arrived but the fact is he's won once in 26 starts on Turf and his record on Polytrack isn't much better. Fastidious followed a comfortable victory on soft ground at Leopardstown with a good run from a 9lb higher mark on quicker going at Naas. CASH OR CASUALTY has already won four times this year and again ran well at Chester last month. He's shot up the weights but Megan Carberry's claim will help and this looks another good opportunity. He's Got Rhythm beat the selection at Dundalk in March but is worse off at the weights and the positions were reversed later.
