Verdict

The Bear Trap was a beaten favourite in a Fairyhouse claimer last month and has changed yards though holds Tartaraghan on that run TAI TAM BAY has been steadily improving and made an encouraging nursery debut at Cork where she fought back after being headed. She has another furlong to travel but should be suited and can get off the mark. King Of Gosford showed there are races to be won with him at the Curragh last time while Guest Star only weakened in the closing stages over a mile at Naas.
