Tara The Tiger is far better than she's shown since returning to the track this year, but needs to learn to settle a shade better in order to be involved at the finish, whilst the veteran mare Squeeze Me is certainly worthy of consideration in the place market. Nicki's Nipper holds an obvious chance of going one better than on each of her most recent starts, and a reproduction of her run here last week behind Pikarnia would be just about good enough to take this race if it wasn't for the inclusion of MISS JOEKING. Lucinda Russell doesn't send too many runners to Sedgefield, but her six-year-old mare posted a sound return to action at Hexham last month, and promises to be suited by stepping up in trip, and appears fairly well handicapped with the capable Alexander Thorne taking off another handy 7lb.
