FIRST DARE took another step forward on the back of a break when a ready winner at Tramore 4 weeks ago and she may well be up to defying the assessor again on that evidence. Ta Na La, who chased home the selection that day is a threat once more on these revised terms. Hasten Slowly and Cash The Cheque are others fancied to be in the mix.
