Verdict
TUS NUA cost a fortune as a foal which is hardly surprising given she's a daughter of Galileo. She made her racecourse debut in a Killarney bumper last month and came home strongly to beat a huge field suggesting she has plenty more to give in the process. Benefit Of Porter returned to form with a storming victory at Tramore and a repeat of that effort will see her go close and that form looks slightly better than that of The Grey Express, who scrambled home at Ballinrobe. Ounaja represents last year's winning trainer and there was plenty to take from his run behind Fantasy King at Punchestown last month.
