Joseph O'Brien has a rapidly improving filly on his hands in TUAMHAIN (NAP), who went up 10lb for her victory at Gowran but followed up with ease at Galway on Monday. She'll go up by more than the 6lb extra she has here when reassessed and should complete a hat-trick with Shane Crosse again doing the steering. Guanabara Bay has won from higher marks than this and looked on the way back when narrowly beaten by Pulsating here last month while Althib lost his maiden tag at the 19th time of asking at Thurles last week and is still on a low enough mark to make her presence felt. Downtown Diva is still a maiden after 26 starts and though Seeking Truth has won around here that was his only victory in 32 starts.
