A disappointing turnout for a nice prize. CUT THE MUSTARD made an impressive chasing bow in a beginners' race at Limerick and stepped into Grade 2 company at Thurles where she was well beaten by her odds-on stable companion Elimay. She won't be meeting anything of the winner's calibre here and can get back on the winning trail. Tintangle was beaten a long way in that race after making mistakes and appears unlikely to reverse the form while Isle Of Destiny hasn't done as well as expected after winning very easily at Down Royal in December. The remaining pair look to have too much to do.
