Verdict
Ashwiyaa, placed at Group 2 level, was beaten when long odds-on at Dundalk before finding Listed company beyond her at the Curragh. She's looking exposed and GRAND CITY HALL looks to have more scope as he was green on his debut before showing very good pace over 6f on the latter track. Back Down Under had also been showing good speed over this trip before leading for a long way when tackling 6f at Naas. Clonmacash has disappointed since a close third here in June.
