Joseph O'Brien is striking while the iron is hot with TUAMHAIN (NAP), who has been in excellent form this month culminating in a convincing victory over Ishigati at Gowran last week. He has to overcome a 10lb rise in the weights here but had plenty in hand and is progressing fast enough to overcome the extra. Littlevix has also been in fine form with her victory over this trip on soft ground at Gowran the highlight. She may not have been suited by fast going over a mile at Thurles on Thursday and looks certain to make a bold bid. Bercasa keeps coming in for support and has been going well though over an extra furlong while Born To Frolic made a very encouraging handicap debut at Gowran though that was over an extended 1m1f. Cyrus Dallin and Time Stands Still are closely matched but face stiff tasks in a competitive handicap.
