GRACE TARA is a winning point-to-pointer in heavy ground which suggests she may come into her own over this sort of trip. She came up against a useful sort last time and gets to race off the same mark here. She is the only in form contender who has not been penalised by the handicapper and she is taken to account for Malapie. The lightly raced nine-year-old came up against a well handicapped rival last time, He was noted staying on well but a 4lb rise in the weights has made his task harder since the handicapper has taken a more lenient view with the selection. Popelys Gull is steadily improving and makes more appeal than the remainder who have been out of sorts lately.
