Verdict
ARCTIC GALE started a short-priced favourite at the Galway Festival but found one of Willie Mullins' too good. Compensation awaits though Tomavian has performed well in both starts and the fillies' allowance should enable her to go close. Royal Cave showed good pace for a long way at Roscommon and looks best of the remainder though A La Carte attracted support at Leopardstown in March.
