Verdict

Tango Theatre, a winner between the flags, has never won over timber and was beaten 14 lengths when runner-up at Ballinrobe though the third has won subsequently. Portland Row was a further dozen lengths behind and looks held but LATEST MODEL (NAP) was only beaten just over two lengths when fourth at Clonmel and can lose her maiden tag. Tingarran Express has been going well on heavy ground so some rain would aid her cause but A Dublin Job has done better over further. Perfect Arch is 0-24 but would have a chance on the best of his form.
