Many of these will be facing faster ground for the first time including Muscati, who improved for front-running tactics when a good third behind Jim Bowie at Gowran last month. Save My Blushes produced a couple of decent efforts at the backend of last year and has been running well enough on the level to give him a fair chance. Tara Warrior is very one-paced but his overall form puts him in the picture for this moderate contest. REPORTAGE has shown ability on the flat and over hurdles with all of his best runs coming on good or faster ground. Providing the rain doesn't ease the going too much he should be good enough to take this.
