Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs but posted another good effort when 6 lengths second of 8 in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 29 days ago. Sets the standard.

Successful on his sole outing in points but offered little in a Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut last month. Much longer trip needs to bring about improvement now hurdling.

Modest hurdler who took a small step back in the right direction when fifth in a handicap hurdle here (20.1f) 38 days ago. Needs to build on that in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Grange Road (2/1), Tara Mill (9/4), Lalochezia (7/2), Shaughnessy (10/1), Atomic Angel (14/1), Fair Minx (14/1), War Down Under (33/1), The Wise Traveller (33/1), Deep Charm (50/1), Teals Lad (100/1), Eveque (100/1), Mr Jv (300/1)

Verdict

TARA MILL has returned as good as ever after 15 months off with a pair of runner-up efforts so is taken to finally come good. Grange Road and Lalochezia are the clear threats having shown promise in the Irish pointing field.

  1. TARA MILL (IRE)
  2. GRANGE ROAD (IRE)
  3. LALOCHEZIA (IRE)
