Verdict

This seems pretty straightforward for Glenmoss Tara who has only once been defeated in five starts. A victory at Catterick followed by an easy sucess at Newcastle proved this well-bred five-year-old has an exciting future and she should not be opposed here. Clingstone improved on her bumper form to run a big race at Wincanton on her hurdling debut. She should give the selection most to do but even in receipt of 12lbs still looks up against it. Sharp Single has a useful pedigree and her trainer must think a bit of her starting at this level while Ragu is well thought of and has some useful experience behind her.
