Tara Muck is probably capable of better but she hasn't had a run since December. Norfolk Sky hasn't really built on her second victory over hurdles at Wincanton in May so we'll stick with BONNE FEE. She has raced exclusively on good ground over hurdles so far and has won her last two starts at Bangor and Cartmel with plenty in hand. Rest And Be won a bumper here last year but was tailed off on her debut over hurdles and winning pointer Dawnieriver races under Rules for the first time.
