Tara View followed an easy victory in a bumper at Bangor in May with a hard-fought success on her hurdling debut at Ludlow last month. She has a 7lb penalty as does Wizard's Sliabh, who has a very similar profile having followed her bumper success with a narrow but decisive victory over timber at Market Rasen where she ran on strongly over that 2m4f. BRILLARE MOMENTO started out in Ireland and has produced two very good runs in Cheltenham bumpers for new connections. She has a cracking pedigree for jumping and can make a successful debut over timber. Midnight Glory finished runner-up in a Cheltenham bumper on her debut in April and would have needed her comeback at Ffos Las a month ago though she weakened quickly. Tinted Rose, a bumper winner at Fontwell, wasn't far behind Wizard's Sliabh at Market Rasen and is better off at the weights. Hitherjacques Lady and Sauvignon are others to consider in an interesting contest.
