In depth
Verdict
Tuamhain hasn't been beaten far in her two recent starts on this sort of ground though has looked in need of further. However, she could only finish fifth at Cork last weekend when EADBHARD, who showed excellent pace throughout that extended 6f, finished runner-up and Iceni, who had every chance, was fourth. Michael Grassick's was obviously suited by the testing conditions and can go one better. Premier League won over 6f at Dundalk then didn't last out an extra furlong at Gowran while Piper Bomb also gained her only victory to date over that trip on Polytrack.
