The run of Bollin Ace in the first division should be a pointer to the chances of KARA TARA as Lawrence Mullaney's mare was only a couple of lengths behind that one at Wetherby and appears to have the beating of Comeonbonny on collateral form. Buckled wasn't beaten far at Ayr but will need to settle better if he's to get home here. Best of the rest may be the Milan mare Miss Tiggy, though Massini's Lady has a jumping pedigree and is probably worth a market check.
